Gaming Age
FFXI manages to mend the idea of a persistent online community with a story, graphics, and an intuitive interface that begs to be played when other responsibilities rear their ugly head.

Square certainly made a brave decision in taking one of Japan's and if not the world's biggest gaming franchises into cyber-space. A franchise which sells out shortly after release might alienate those with an internet connection and a harddrive. From a

I think it's fair to say that everyone was disappointed with Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3. The franchise laudably tried taking some bold steps but it missed the mark. The dynamic campaign didn't work right, wasn't very realistic, and could be

The most beautiful MMORPG currently available. Its environments are second to none, and the character models are elegant and, frankly, a pleasure to behold. The world also feels more alive than any other.

Some say that legends are the stuff of long lost youth; tucked away in the forgotten attic of childhood memories or the dusty corner of a grandfather’s shelf, we can all remember the magic. I remember the flights of fantasy from my boyhood years; of

Final Fantasy XI, one of Square Enix’s most recent creations, has been the topic of much controversy among gamers around the world lately. Many thought the game was going to be the end of their beloved company and developer, others were counting the

Gender confused heroes, voice acting from hades, and long summoning spells that take an abundant amount of time for an insufficient amount of damage. With the recent Final Fantasy X and it's 'sequel,' Final Fantasy X-2, these may be a few of the things

It could be compared to "Morrowind" in its depth and scope, but the real people that fill the town squares and gathering halls give Final Fantasy XI a living soul that Bethesda’s hallmark title never had.

Okay, so there was a lot of fuss going about when this game was announced. It’s Final Fantasy but it’s a massively multiplayer online RPG. Long time fans were concerned that it would not be true to the long running series that birthed it. Well,

My Gamer
I've got a pretty large resume of MMORPG gaming under my belt, most of which was spent in either EverQuest, or in smaller part, in Anarchy Online. The review that follows is my concept of the game after two days of its initial United States release. Of

Until the last few years, the MMORPG genre hadn?t been overly populated. However, many newcomers and sequels have come to try their hand at the genre, each offering their own little quirks and differences. Ultimately, the main thread of gameplay is

By now, it isn't easy for a massively multiplayer online role-playing game to distinguish itself. Years ago, games like Ultima Online and especially 1998's EverQuest set the standards for this unique style of gaming, which today spans a seemingly

Overall, the game does feel rather slow in comparison to overall MMORPGs I have played, but I is still addicting.

Final Fantasy online sounds like a great idea on paper, one with limitless opportunities and a torrent of novelties. It is unfortunate then that Final Fantasy XI offers nothing new or innovative in the way of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing

Virtually all of the game's numerous gameplay systems feed into and stem from one: the conquest system. The three nations of Vana'diel, one of which you will join at the start of your journey, vie for control of the world.

I remember the days when Final Fantasy was reserved for the console systems, with their cute little pixels, chocobos and rich stories. Of course, as I rarely could stomach the gameplay of the classic titles on the SNES, Genesis and so on, so I can’t
