World of Warcraft

My younger brother gave my World of Warcraft Collectors Edition for Christmas, and I have to say this is the BEST game I've ever played. I'm afraid my life (outside of the computer) will soon be over as I want to play this game 24x7 (excluding sleep, and mealtimes :)). Once again Blizzard has somehow managed to release a great game into an overcrowded genre filled with mediocore to crappy games (EQ, DAOC, AC2 here's looking at you).

Instead of a boring level grind I find my self walking around the world and doing the quests, and yes many of these just involve killing things. There is just something different that makes this game fun to play, something that other MMORPG's have missed. I'm not the only one with this opinion as this game sold more copies than any other PC game on its first day. Additionally this game is OUT OF STOCK at just about every retailer of computer games in the Twin Cities area. Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, EB Games, Gamestop, Target and even Walmart don't have this game in stock. Considering you pay $15 a month to play this after 30 days I can't believe it sold out! The collectors edition sold out in about the first week, I only got one because a friend of my brother was working before christmas returns and grabbed it for him.

Well I need to get back to Azeroth so if you happen to be on Perenolde drop a line to the great mage Jthon.
