WoW is all I have to say. The creators at Blizzard have done it again. I have been a fan of Blizzard way back when, when they first created the RPG Warcraft: Humans Vs. Orcs. The story since then has evolved and so has game play and technology. Where once you played a story and controlled multiple units and fought via strategy, now you get to LIVE that story. Create a character from many different classes and live and experience everything in the amazing 3D world. Some of the best looking graphics I have seen in a game. The amount of detail and time put into this game is worth every penny. You can quest by yourself or with others. Take on legendary races and beings with friends. You can even fight other real players one on one or battle against many.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I heard the hype, tried out the game. Kinda cool, I had no idea that time in the real world was passing. I did not eat, sleep, or anything and then I realized I'd been playing for 20 hours straight. Cool, but be careful, or set an alarm the first time you play. You will lose track of time. Still really cool.

Great as a Casual Distraction

I was one of those skeptics for a long time - you know, the guy who thought he would never play any MMORPG. I thought they were just a massive time-sink and couldn't possibly be fun for a casual gamer beyond the first few hours. I thought only obsessive-types with no life, no friends and nothing better to do could enjoy a game like this.
I thought wrong.
World of Warcraft was designed to be accessible to everybody. The basic concepts of moving, combat and character progression are easily understood, and anybody can reach the maximum level (80 once Wrath of the Lich King comes out) by simply playing long enough. "1337 SKILLZ" are not needed to progress in this game, unless you want to get through the most advanced content, or compete in Player vs Player combat at the most competetive level.
For someone like me - married w/ 2 young children, working a full time job and trying to finish school - this game is a fantastic distraction. Playing just a few hours each week, I have curently advanced my primary character up to Level 60 (the original Level Cap), while experiencing a lot of fun content, joining a helpful and friendly Guild, making lasting in-game friendships (which gives you people to play with regularly) and enjoying the rich, immersive storyline. The best part is, this game is even something my wife enjoys. She plays as often as she is able, usually when the kids are napping, and has advanced a few characters up to the Level 30-40 range. (She's a bit of an Alt-oholic, she makes lots of different characters, sampling the various classes, rather than focusing on just one.)
No matter what I'm up for - a bit of solo questing, some group instancing, hardcore PvP, or just wasting time and blowing off steam, this game is ready to deliver. I hardly touch my other games (or game systems) these days, spending most of my limited recreation time playing WoW because it is so fun and relaxing. I can enjoy my time in Azeroth whether I have 15 minutes to kill, or a few hours to spend on improving my character (a rare occurence these days, but its nice to know the game is ready when I am).
Soon, my wife and I will be getting a second computer and an additional account, so that we can both be online and playing together, rather than watching the other one play when its their turn. I'm really looking forward to sharing this activity together in a more interactive way, and I can only see it strengthening our marriage - since neither of us is obsessed or addicted to the game.
Probably the only downside I can think of is the fact that you can't just pay for the game and be done with it. To continue to enjoy the game, you have to pay a monthly fee of somewhere between $13.00 - $15.00 (depending on how much time you pay for at once). I know many people who spend way more than that each month on their entertainment - a single trip to the movie theater can easily cost you over $30.00 once you factor in the tickets and concessions - and that's just 2-3 hours of fun. With WoW, you can have a lot more fun (I average between 2-10 hours each week, depending on what else I'm doing and how much free time I have), so that amounts to a better fun to dollar ratio than going to the movies.
What's great about it: Lots to do, fun for solo play, even more fun in a group or Guild.
What's not so great: Monthly subscription fee (worth it though, in my opinion)

If you didn't have to pay $15 a month for this, it might be worth your time. The gameplay gets rediculously repetitive and I found myself getting bored VERY quickly. The "updates" and "new content" that you pay monthly for definitely aren't worth it. As for the graphics, it is my opinion that Blizzard made them very cartoon-like when they released War3 and those cartoonish graphics are used here as well. The only good things about this game are that it has such a large world to explore and that it has such a large online community. If you are a fan of the Warcraft series, try the 10 day free trial first.
What's great about it: large world
What's not so great: $15 a month, repetitive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don't forsee anyone reading up reviews on this game because if you're looking to buy this game, then you know what's it about. I will, however, say something about ordering this game from Bestbuy. It took FOREVER for this game to ship. 2 weeks. I didn't mind though, and it's not Bestbuy's fault. The game was backordered and they sent me an email for an option to pick it up from the store. I was in no hurry to play it anyway.
The game is great, and it will last you a couple of years. It's definitely worth it. Buy it from Bestbuy, they have the best prices, but might be better if you do store pickup. Hope to see you guys in Ogrimmar, I'm in the Area52 server.
What's great about it: It's not a game you can finish in 2 days. Highly Addictive
What's not so great: Graphics are cartoonish, a bit expensive monthly fee. Highly Addictive.

Where to begin? This game is crammed full of ways for you and your friends to defend yourselves against the evildoers of Azeroth while upholding your allegiance to either the Alliance or the Horde. You can kill monsters, collect money, buy armor, battle the other faction, or just plain have fun! This could quite possibly be the best game I have every played!

I have played a ton of diferent MMORPGs and i have to say that this is the best. Blizard does a real good job of monitoring there games to make sure everyone is enjoying the game to the maximum potential. Bots get terminated as soon as they are found. RMTs dont last very long either. Its hard to decide to play WoW or Starcraf, lol, Blizard keep up the good work.
