Head to GamingExcellence for a review of 'Guild Wars' with a score of 9.2/10:
Not many people can tell you what they did last week or let alone last year, but I can tell you with great assurance that I spent most of my nights in 2001 playing Phantasy Star Online on Sega’s Dreamcast. At the time, and this isn’t very long ago, I was still on dial-up, hoping that the keyboard I’d ordered online would show up already and was having the time of my life. I used to play with friends from work and it seemed that we would play forever. A few trouble spots eventually reared their heads though and with the rise of cable and DSL, the Dreamcast was soon no more. It took us a long time to find a suitable replacement for PSO. But a few years later, we played Battlefield 1942 once a week, every week. I know this may not seem like much, but I should point out that my co-workers (yes, I lead a double life) are techies, not gamers. They are between the ages of 26 and 50 and have families of their own and they don’t usually play games unless it’s “game night”. We enjoyed BF1942 for a long time, buying the expansion packs and even giving Vietnam a try (but going back quickly to the original since no one likes snipers in grassy knolls). With time however, even BF1942 died out and I honestly thought we would never have “game night” again. But then something wonderful happened; Guild Wars entered our lives. As a gamer, it was easy for me to see the brilliance of Guild Wars, I picked it up immediately based simply on its common points with PSO which I’d missed so much, but I wondered how others would adapt to it. This is our story...
