Great Internet role-playing games

by Andrew Wilson

In the PC Gaming world of today, there are very few Role-Playing games that stand out to the general public. You have a large choice between the good ones. I'm going to divide 3 great ones into 2 categories, Free, Cost, and Right In Between. The games in the free category requires a download to play, and the one in the cost category requires a monthly fee to play. The one in the Between section, you have a choice for paying or not. I'm going to start of with the game that requires money.

COST

Game Name World of Warcraft
Price 15$ a month
Developer Blizzard Entertainment
Website - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml

World of Warcraft is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has impressed every Warcraft fan around. World of warcraft continues from where the events of Warcraft 3 left off. The Gameplay for those games was one step less that amazing, so every gamer expecting World of Warcraft to be a cut above the rest. It was, and Blizzard has been pulling in more money than any other MMO Developer.

World of Warcraft is one of the best buys if you are into the whole MMO fad.

Graphics 7/10

Depending on what kind of computer you have, graphics will or will not be an issue for you. My brother has a horrible computer, so the graphics aren't too flashy, but he gets by. This is extrememly good if you have a not-so-good computer, yet still want to play WoW.

Gameplay 9/10

When playing World of Warcraft, your goal is to reach the highest level in the game. At this point, the highest you can go is level 70, but with coming expansion packs, that max will be raised even more. To level, you have a choice of options. You can complete the plethora of quests offered to you to level from 1 to 70, or you can grind yourself silly on monsters. Grinding is the act of killing a person or monster over and over to get the wanted rewards. In World of Warcraft, you can grind for gold, items, or just to get to a higher level.

To the people who don't know what the World of Warcraft is like, there are 4 main bodies of land, 1 not yet featured. Each continent offers multiple zones for questing and grinding at your level. Also, spread through each server and continent, there are millions of people ready to quest and level with you.
