GVN Quick Review - Echo Of Souls(PC)

Echo Of Soul

PC

Publisher: Aeria Games

Developer: Nvius

Echo of Soul is the latest Korean Free-to-Play MMO to be brought stateside by Aeria Games.  Most people tend to avoid anything published by Aeria Games but would be a huge mistake.  Echo of Soul is probably one of the better Free-to-play games that will probably get swept under the rug.  There's actually quite a bit going for it that outweigh its shortcomings.

GVN Review: The Elder Scrolls Online (PC)

The Elder Scrolls Online
PC
Publisher: Bethesda
Developer: Zenimanx Online

I am utterly disappointed in you Zenimax online.  I am disappointed that you had the utter gull to release a game that gave us the idea we would be playing an Elder Scrolls game online. I am disappointed that you gave us false hope in that we would be exploring huge areas of Tamriel that have never been visited in any of the previous games of the noble franchise.  I am disappointed in myself for jumping onto the hype train and feeling the impact of the crash upon the realization that this is nothing more than a standard MMO style game with the Elder Scrolls name slapped on it.  Make no mistake, Elder Scrolls Online is not a bad game, but it's not a good game either.  It had expectations to live up to and it never met any of them.

GVN Preview: Neverwinter (PC)

After finally getting my chance to jump into the beta of Neverwinter, I had spent a good chunk of time with Cryptic Studios' latest MMO.  The latest MMORPG to carry with it the history and linage of the D&D legacy incorporating the Forgotten Realms mythos and the popular location of two previous games, the capital city of Neverwinter.

GVN Review: Guild Wars 2 (PC)

I was a big fan of the first Guild Wars when it came out back in April of 2005.  Guild Wars came out in the middle of the big Massive Multiplayer Online RPG’s (MMORPG) boom thanks in part of the early rivalry of World of Warcraft and EverQuest 2.  NCSoft went out of their way to set Guild Wars apart from others in the MMO genre.  The first thing NCSoft did was to do a “free to play” business model while all other MMO’s followed a subscription based model.  The only thing NCSoft ever charged for was just the expansion packs that followed after the initial release.
