That took long enough. Usually, reviews for a big, new title are released immediately. Have you noticed how people have been taking their time with releasing World of Warcraft reviews? Weird. The news is good, thank the heavens. Gamespot has ventured forth with an astounding 95/Superb rating. This is notable for a couple of reasons. First, we believe it's the highest rated MMO in Gamespot history. Yes, that's a big deal. We admire GS's staff of writers. Second, it's the excuse thousands, if not millions, of us have been waiting for. MMOs are tough to get into. A lot of us have never found much to like about questing and levelling up in an online environment. So, Warcraft fans who have never tried an MMO, will now give it a trial run. If this game is as good as the review says it is, Blizzard has just given the genre a bigger audience to draw from.

Yes, WoW is that good. I played UO back when it was released for a couple years, primarily b/c it was a new gaming experience. Everything since UO has been pretty iffy in terms of MMOs.
But WoW has everything. You can play it any way you want: PvP, PvE, Quest, Grind, Craft, Sell, etc. It's all put together and designed very well. The only gripe I have is the servers still get overloaded at times, even after nearly doubling the number of game servers.

Yeah, I review games and the reason they take so long is because you have to play it for about 40 - 60 hours before you know whether it's any good or not.
