Free MMORPG's A Plague?

Hm.

You like me, have probably noticed a overwhelming number of Free MMO's over the past couple of years. some good, some utter shit.

The question at hand is, why are company's making MMO's that use the same Hotkey formula thats been used for over 3/4 a decade if not more. Why cant some of these companies get there creative juices flowing? are they scared of innovation? or do they think that if they split from what everyone is used to they will make alot of core gamers mad?

My point being that some of us is sick of the old hotkey method, and generic MMO feel, DC Universe was a breathe of fresh air! DC still used a little bit of hotkeys but it felts entirely new for MMOs. but DC wasnt free.

Im tired of the same old song and dance.....are you?

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Review


Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
A Lust to Dust Review.
Developer: Capcom
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Genre: Fighting
Modes: Single Player, Multiplayer
ESRB: T

Yeah? I know, your like, wait, CJ is doing a video game review? INSANE! yeah i know. but ive played enough of the game to justify a nice opinion about it.

Graphics -
MvC3 offers a nice style of graphics, and it works, seeing the game go to 3D is a real treat, sometimes making a jump to 3D is a good thing, and with Marvel its just that, a good thing. very polished also, and amazing visual when the character do their hyper combos.



Stole that guy's PIZZA!


Sound -
I love the music tracks in this game, really unique, and very epic when your character jumps in after the character before it goes down, which means there theme song starts playing. i also enjoy the voice acting. that is if you dont mind hearing the character call out there move every time the player inputs the command. and Deadpool makes the game a hoot, with very good voice acting and humor. so the sound overall is very very good!


Gameplay -
THe gameplay of the game is what you expect out of a Marvel Vs Capcom game, which is fast paced fighting action. the game has a entirely new control system from there previous title MvC2, and its fairly easy to pick up the new fighting system. The game feels like it should and plays like it should. I found myself having troubles switching out characters when i first started playing. that is no longer a issue. i also discovered that air combos in this game is extremely more easy than that of MvC2, there is a sense of balance in the game, but as your playing and something funky happens youll think other wise. but if you think about it really is balanced, perhaps Wolverine is faster than Captain Americas Charing Star? or vice versa? it really depends on the character. the game features a Arcade mode as it should, the arcade mode is the basic style of Marvel where you go through various stages fighting your way to the final boss. The game also has a mission mode to polish up your combos and skills. and DUH a versus mode and training mode. The game features a online mode with which ever service you have, there you can fight your friends or take on strangers in ranked matches or player matches. the online mode also features Event mode with has you completing challenges to earn extra rewards, a example would be "Use all capcom characters and win 10 matches" or something of that song and dance. to quote a very good friend of mine, its kinda sucks that you can only activate one event at a time, when you can actually end up completing 3 or 4 events in one match.

Overall -
This game is a instant hit, and is a very good fighter, i would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves fighting games.

I give this game 5 ARRRRRRRNOLDS out of 5
