If you're a gamer you're probably familiar with the latest trend in the world of massively multi-player online games: they're all going "free-to-play". MMOs have become increasingly popular overtime. Online play has become a popular trend in the gaming experience, even consul games have made online play the norm in the gaming world. With so many new MMOs emerging on the scene it's tough for the new games to gain subscribers when they have to compete with the big dogs like Word of Warcraft. As a result many primarily online games have completely dropped the monthly subscriptions and come up with other ways to make money.
Deciding what content will be free and what content gamers will pay for is a crucial part of a games success, especially for games that contain a great deal of competition. Some of these games suck up all the fun for new players who just want to try the game out before they hand over their hard earned dollars by selling ridiculously overpowered weapons to those who are willing to shell out the cash.
But with all the new online games out there how will you know which ones you'll like and which ones will be a complete waste of time? Well, you could read my new series and get a pretty good idea of which ones you don't want to waste the space on your computer to download. Over the next few weeks, months, maybe years, I'll be playing online game after online game and posting thoughtful reviews for you!
Right now I'm feeling out Pandora Saga: Weapons of Balance. According to the developer's description it's a fantasy MMO with mounted combat, PvP, co-op dungeons, and warfare. But I'm going to find out if it really lives up to what it claims to be so that you don't have to.
Each review should take me anywhere from two weeks to a month, maybe more depending on the game, so come back once a month and see what's new! As usual I'll be posting updates on Twitter, so follow me there @MasteryOMystery or just subscribe by clicking the button on the right side of the page.
