    Morrowind: A sermon about hype (Warning: Attempt at Yahtzee-esque humour)

    MW/TES3 was an explorer gamer's wet dream. Sadly, they completely missed this point in OB/TES4. Whereas in MW the world felt completely hand-crafted and every nook and cranny held different secrets, and me and my friends were talking about rare books we had found and which was our favorite; OB...

Of course, UO's was more like...

    68: Red vs. Blue Makes Green

    Good read. My opinion on RVB is pretty much that it's success is directly related to Halo's success. Imagine if it was done with say... Max Payne (I believe that came out around the same time). It'd be long extinct. Is this a bad thing? I'm not sure - there are a lot of WoW videos/series with...

    Editor's Note: Raid

    I'd say WoW's popularity is pretty much equal to the mainstream popularity of multiplayer gaming as a whole (i.e. it controls the bar). Before that, it was probably Halo 1, Counter-strike or Everquest, and neither of those were even close to WoW's success (well - barring Starcraft, since that's...
