I’ve gotten a lot of strange looks and sidelong glances for not tackling Warhammer here on the site.

My take on the game is up at Massively, in sort of condensed format.

In short, Warhammer is just like every other MMO. It’s brimming with potential. It’s extraordinarily good at some things, bad at others, and will perpetually need to be finished. It’s not the be-all end-all of the genre, and it’s almost certainly not a “WoW Killer.”

At the end of Beta, though, Warhammer Online is a game that the men and women at Mythic Entertainment can be proud of. It’s an extremely well-produced testament to the IP. It’s a visceral expression of the phrase “War is Everwhere.” And, most importantly, it is a fun game.

You can also hear my opinions on the game in Massively Speaking #19, and Brent’s got a barn-burner of a podcast coming that will feature my voice on this subject as well.

As I noted a bit back my life is a bit weirdy at the moment. Apologies for the sparse posting. Haven’t blogfaded - just need some time off. I’ll let you know how it all turns out.
