\"World<\/a>So I finally gave into the whole MMORPG craze. I’d played a bit of Asheron’s Call back when it was in Beta and enjoyed it. And even played a tiny bit when it was released, but it never really sucked me in that much. But I have a good number of friends playing World of Warcraft<\/a>, and it’s one of the few games I can play on the Mac and still be able to play with them.<\/p>\n

First off. Big high-5 to Blizzard for releasing a game that runs on both Mac and PC beautifully. More companies need to do this. I have no idea how much extra effort it requires on their part but they really do a great job. Thank you for giving me something cool to play while all my friends are off playing CoH.<\/p>\n

So, about the game. It’s beautiful. I took some screenshots that are okay, but nothing as nice as some of the ones shown on the World of Warcraft site<\/a>. The colors are vivid and for the first hour or so that I played the game i just kept looking all around me. I can’t wait to explore more and see what kinds of places I can find.<\/p>\n

\nNext, gameplay. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this game was easy to learn. I saw the manual that came with the the game and was a little nervous at first. It’s not huge, but it just looked like there was so much to learn. So, in proper geek form I just dove right into the game. After about 10 min I created my character and was on my first quest.<\/p>\n

So far, I love the game. As I play a bit more and get a little deeper into it I’ll report back with more details. The screenshots are hosted at Flickr<\/a>, and there is one other up there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
