Game Review: Atlantica Online

Atlantica Online
Atlantica Online is in top 5 of the best free mmorpgs ever, and it is published by NDoors. Its unique "playstyle" - turn-based - gives players plenty of options to fight and many strategies to develop. Gorgeous graphics, great sound, cool gameplay, big community (playerbase), many, many PvP features, many classes (at begin little, but after split into B,C and D Mercenary classes - and there are more then 20 of them!) and bunch of quests(and nice interface) really makes this game maybe the best one. Monsters can get sometimes too easy, but that can't ruin the rest of the good things said above.


Minimum Requirements:
OS: Windows XP/ 2000 / Vista
CPU: Pentium 4 1GHz or higher
RAM: 512MB or higher
HDD: 5GB or more
VGA: GeForce4 TI4200, 64MB or better (vertex pixel shading support required)
Recommended Specification:
OS: Windows XP/ 2000 / Vista
CPU:Pentium 4 2GHz or higher
RAM: 1GB or higher
HDD: 10GB or more
VGA: GeForce4 TI4200, 64MB or better (vertex pixel shading support required), DirectX 10
Personal opinion: If you are fan of turn-based strategies, like Disciples, Heroes of Might and Magic, etc. - you MUST try this mmorpg. If you are not - it's ok, you are probably going to like it. Visit Atlantica Online Official Site in order to play it!

Game Review: Zentia

Zentia
Zentia is fantasy mmorpg with "immortal hero" theme, published by ChangYou. Graphics, world and atmosphere are colorful and humorous. There are many available and cool features, such as detailed pet system, mounted combat, crafting system, many different classes (8) and characters to choose from, server-wide events. Gameplay can get repetitive and boring (as in many games), and monsters do not offer some challenge. Playerbase is medium, and graphics could be done quite better. Interface is nice, but could be better, too. Role of every hero(player) is to banish world of demons.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows  98 / Win 2000 / Win XP
CPU: Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz
RAM:  256 mb
HDD: 2 GB Free
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440
Recommended Specification:OS: Windows XP / Vista / 7
CPU: Intel P4 2.4G / AMD 3000+
RAM: 512 mb or more
HDD: 3 GB Free
Graphics Card: nVidia 6600 / ATi 9550
Personal opinion: Waste of time.. If you want to play some cheerful mmorpg, choose other one. If you are bored, and don't know what to do with yourself - try it out, client is around 1,3GB. Visit Zentia Official Site in order to play this game.

Game Review: War of Angels

War of Angels
War of Angels is new fantasy mmorpg published by Neowiz (European version is published by Gamigo). This games combat is unique - you can fight on the ground, in the water or even in sky. It combines Western type of mmorpg "school" with Asian. Of course, when I say western "school", I mean World of Warcraft - one more game that looks like WoW. Many features are good, like crafting, combat, as I already mentioned, managable buildings and cities, faction based pvp conflicts, quite good gameplay, pets, mounts, and arsenal of skills. Graphics could be better, and playerbase is still medi-low, and there are also only few races and classes to be picked.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows XP / Vista / 2000
CPU: 2.4 GHz Pentium 4
RAM: 1024 MB Free
HDD: 4 GB Free
Graphics Card: GeForce 6600 / Radeon 9500
Recommended Specifications:OS: Windows XP / Vista / 2000
CPU: 2.4 GHz Dual Core CPU
RAM: 2048 MB (2GB) Free
HDD: 4 GB Free
Graphics Card:Nvidia 6 Series / AMD Radeon X1300 or better
Personal opinion: Try it, why not. It deserves a chance. Game client isn't big - around 1,5GB. If you are interested, check War of Angels Official Site

Game Review: Vindictus

Vindictus
Vindictus - fantasy mmorpg published by Nexon, with new generation of graphics, which is stunning and so realistic. It came out of Asia like few months ago, so it's relatively new game to "our world". This game is "hack & slash", with instanced stages. Character creation is done so nice, too. It became very popular, because of its graphics, very clean interface. goodly translated dialogs and cinematics. There are 5 different characters to choose, and they are Lann, Fiona, Evie, Karok and Kai (only 1st 3 charrs are available). Playerbase became high for such small period of time. There are 2 big problems about the game - still published ONLY in North America and gameplay gets repeatable. From PvP, there are arena fights. One more good thing - believe it or not, this perfection of game is completely free!


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows XP
CPU: Single Core 2.4 GHZ
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 5 GB
Graphics Card: GeForce 5600
Recommended Specification:OS: Windows XP / Vista / 7
CPU: 2.5 GHz Dual Core or better
RAM: 1024 MB (1GB)
HDD: 6 GB
Graphics Card: GeForce 7600+
Personal opinion: You will make A HUGE mistake if you don't try it. It is really worth of time or anything else. Client is medium sized - around 2GB. If you are interested, visit Vindictus Online Official Site

There are 6 NATIONS from which you can choose  Spain, Portugal, Venice, France, England and The Netherlands, and 3 "skill types" - Adventure, Battle and Trade.

RAM:  256 MB

Game Review: Talisman Online

Talisman Online
Talisman Online is fantasy mmorpg published by Miracle Castles. This is one more game similar to WoW, but, of course, way worse then World of Warcraft. There are 5 classes to choose - Monk, Assassin, Wizard, Tamer and Fairy (Monk - male, Assassins - male, Tamers and Fairies - female, Wizard - can choose). There are not many good things to say about this game. Many quests, many areas, mini-pet system, weapon enchancing system, nice mounts and "perfect" level cap of 70. Gameplay is repetitive(sometimes), graphics poor, player base low-medium ( there are 7 servers or so). Camera is annoying, too.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista
CPU: p3~800MHz
RAM: 256MB
HDD: 600MB
Graphics Card: GForce2 Graphics memory over 32MB
Recommended Specifications:OS: Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista
CPU: P4~1.3GHz+
RAM: 512MB
HDD: 600MB
Graphics Card: GForce4 Graphics memory over 64MB
Personal opinion: Well, when you count everything from above - NO, I will NOT play this. But, in fact, it is really worth a shot. Gameplay is maybe repetitive in some ways, but you can progress through levels smoothly, with fun. Game client is extremely small - around 200MB. If you are interested, check Talisman Online Official Site!

Game Review: Silkroad Online

Silkroad Online
SRO is fantasy mmorpg published by Joymax, with huge amount of players. With it's great skill trees, nice animations, and great choice of classes/races, this game is one of the best at the moment. You can choose from 2 factions : European and Chines. Each of these have around 10 "races" of humans, and 6-7 unique classes (even more then that). Cities and PvP system are done very nice, and it is CLICK-TO-MOVE mmorpg. There is also system to become Hunter, Merchant or Thief (like professions, just way more interesting). Gameplay is VERY bad, cause this game is grind based. For example, you will at level 35/40 get quest to kill 1000 mobs or something like that (max. level is 110). Progression system is complicated, too, and bots will make your life 100 times harder.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows (R) Vista/ XP/2000 (95/98/ME/NT/Server are not supported)
CPU: 800 MHz Pentium 3 CPU

Graphics Card: 256mb 3D accelerator graphics card (GeForce FX 5600 or VGA with similar grade)
DirectX: 9.0c or better
Personal opinion: Yeah, this game MUST be tried. You are going to love it.. at least until level 40 :D Game client is small, around 1GB, so give it a shot. If you are interested, please visit Silkroad Online Official Site.

Game Review: Rappelz

Rappelz
Rappelz is fantasy mmorpg published by gPotato, well known by his great graphics, high level cap, and awful grinding "system". This game have 3 races - Gaia, Deva and Asura - and 3 class types - Melee, Combat and Summoner (names depends on race). Rappelz will offer you nice environment, many levels, pet system, nice mounts and also something that can be called "dungeon system" - it allows you to own dungeons, instead of worlds, areas, cities. There are bad sides of the game - slow leveling, as I said before - heavy grind, limited quests, crappy customizations. PvP isn't rich too much, and game interface could be done better. Also, playerbase is pretty big.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows XP
CPU: AMD/Intel Single Core 2.0GHz
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 3.0 GB
Graphics Card: 128 MB 3D
DirectX: 9.0c
Recommended Specification:OS:  Windows XP / Vista
CPU: Intel P4 3.0GHZ or AMD Athalon X2 5000+
RAM: 1024 MB or more
HDD: 4.0 GB or more
Graphics Card: 256 MB 3D
DirectX: 9.0c or better
Personal opinion: Honestly - you COULD just TRY it. It will offer you nice time till level 30 or so.. from then. you will need to grind so, so hard. Game client is medium - around 2GB. If you are interested, check Rappelz Official Site.

Game Review: Perfect World International

Perfect World International
This fantasy mmorpg is one of the most popular out there, published by Perfect World Entertainment.

Sound is done very good, better then at other games, PvP also (GvG, WvW). Bad things are poorly done interface, and kinda slow gameplay. Quests aren't done the best, too.

CPU: 800 MHZ Intel P3 or equivalent
RAM: 256 MB RAM
HDD: 2.5 GB free

Personal opinion: If you really try to calculate why you should try it and why not - final answer would be "Yes, I should try it!!!" = and this is correct. This games deserves a shot more then any other game. Client is around 2,4GB, it isn't large for sucha game. If you are interested(and you should be), visit Perfect World International Official Site

Game Review: NEO Online

NEO Online
NEO Online (New Era Odyssey Online) is one more mmorpg that is similar to the WoW or RoM. It is published by PlayOMG. It is kinda different then the other mmorpgs, mainly because players are not limited with their classes - they can choose which weapons, skills and attributes will use, independently of class they choose. Graphics and gameplay are surprisingly good, playerbase is still not so high, and there are some cool features like pets, marriage system, mounting, crafting and gathering systems.


Minimum Requirements:OS: Windows 2000
CPU: Pentium 3 1 GHz
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 3 GB Free
Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce Ti4200
Recommended Specifications:OS: Windows XP / Vista / 7
CPU: Pentium 4 3 GHz
RAM: 1024 MB (1GB) or more
HDD: 3 GB Free
Graphics Card: GeForce 6600 / Ati Radeon X1000 or better
Personal opinion: Hmm, I think that this games deserves a chance. It is kinda unique, so any time that is spent for it will not be wasted time. Client isn't so big, it is around 1,7GB, so that is one more plus. If you are interested and want to try it out, please visit NEO Online Official Site.
