Bounce Back After An MMO Break-Up |
|
Strange as it may seem, Valentine's Day isn't just an MMO excuse to mindlessly grind tokens (curse you, Swift Lovebird!). It's a time to express love -- and we love games. So instead of a tooth-breaking candy heart that tastes like chalk, we're showing our love with a newsletter packed with game strategy tips, news, and loot.
If you've fallen out of love with your main MMO, this is a great time to take advantage of recent game developments. RIFT is now free to play through level 20, Star Trek Online has gone F2P, and Star Wars: The Old Republic recently released its first major content update. DC Universe Online is making it easier than ever to group and experience endgame content with new optional role and novice raid mechanics. For a family-friendly change of pace, you can't beat Wizard101.
If you can wait a while before you tell your game "it's not you, it's me," En Masse Entertainment announced TERA will be out May 1. Start getting your guild organized now!

Wizard101 Fun For Everyone |
|
Playing your favorite games with guildmates is great, but nothing beats sharing game time with your own family. Wizard101 is the perfect family-friendly MMO because players of all ages and skill levels will find something to enjoy. It's easily accessible and the charming graphics will appeal to younger players, but there are also surprisingly robust systems under the covers to keep veteran gamers engaged.
Wizard101's turn-based combat uses a unique spell card deck system that's challenging without being frustrating. It's a blast whether you want to get deep into deck strategies or just wing it. In addition to open-world questing, you'll find everything from dungeons and PvP dueling to pets, crafting, and player housing. Parents will appreciate the chat safety features and that it's free-to-play. If you haven't tried Wizard101 yet, sign up and check it out to see for yourself why over 20 million players call Wizard City home.
