New release: Elsword Online - This is a free-to-play side-scrolling Manga style MMO fighter that has already met considerable success in the Asian region. The game only has 3 playable characters which can be slightly customized, and each character can choose between 2 classes. Why should you try it out? For the art style mostly, augmented with its fast pace and explosive goodness.
Entered Open Beta: Ruined is a third-person in-your-face PvP shooter set in San Francisco. It can be described as a mix between the graphical style of Borderlands and the fighting action of Unreal Tournament (yes I know it is a really old example, but it is the first one that came to mind). You may require a high end PC to play Ruined, but you will be well compensated for it. Why should you try it out? The characters really stand out from the crowd and are just dying to cut each other to pieces.
Voted by industry pros as the best game at the Game Develpers Conference (KRI) 2011 held in Moscow, World of Tanks is a team-based tactical World War II fighter where you control, as you rightly guessed, an armored tank. Why should you try it out? The game lets you re-enact epic battles between the German, Russian, American, and French factions by choosing from around 150 different types of tanks. Warning: driving tanks may not be everyone's idea of fun however realistic they might be!
Coming soon: Hellgate: London is set to return. This game, which had originally had high expectations due to it being developed by ex-Blizzard Diablo developers, failed to make any great impact when it was released back in 2007. However, after the game rights were bought by HanbitSoft (don't ask me, their website is all in Korean), the game is apparently making a comeback before the end of the year with closed beta testing starting next week. Me? I think that I am going to try out the Rift 7-day trial instead.
The folks at Games.com have compiled a list of Top five free-to-play browser MMOs. Whilst I do not completely agree with their choice of games, you couldn't do much wrong to try them out. Good games, but in my opinion not the top 5.
Lastly, if all this talk of gaming is too much for you, you may prefer to do some work instead. How does improving an existing Java-based MMO game sound to you?
