Verchual Games – Virtual World Game & MMO Review Site

3Dchat.com

Very impressed with this MMO! I have played plenty of virtual world games before, but so far this one is the best. The graphics are almost flawless & it doesn’t take 10 minutes for them to come on the screen, the graphics pop-up automatically as soon as you enter a room.  The players are still to a minimum but they are growing each day, I think 3Dchat will one day be the biggest MMO game out there! Recommend it completely!

Eros Island

This place has some of the greatest graphics out there, the palm trees and ocean look life-like.  The world is fully textured in high-resolution & the avatars are completely customizable. This is some of the best graphics I have ever seen & even better monthly price to play the game.

It’s easy to meet people on this island and unlike many other MMOs you don’t have to pay for body parts. You get to customize your avatar as soon as you sign up for the game & log into world.  I think Eros Island is totally worth it! Check out erosisland.com

Final Fantasy XI

Square’s developers have once again outdone themselves as far as technical execution and visual artistry, building a fantasy world that I could be content to simply stare at, remembering years past when all these things struck an internal chord for the first time and wondering how a game console could hold images this beautiful.

This installment of the series has perhaps been the most anticipated among die-hard fans of the series, signalling as it does a brief return to some of the visual designs, gameplay elements and overall spirit of the FFs we grew up on, and they won’t be disappointed in the slightest. In that regard, this game combines the finest of the past and present, the fantastic themes of the classic games brought to life by the technology of the PlayStation. In terms of its gameplay and structure, Final Fantasy may be showing its age, or perhaps more precisely a lack of evolution to suit that age, but the series’ trademark formula has hooked fans on three generations of consoles now, and it looks prepped and ready to conquer a fourth in short order.

Is there RPG life beyond this, though? Perhaps it’s a consequence of how quickly it’s followed on the heels of Final Fantasy VIII (just over a year passed between installments), but while the nostalgic appeal of Final Fantasy IX is undeniable, it’s mirrored by a less pleasant sort of d¿j¿ vu. How much of this is truly new, and how much of it is merely time-tested, as it were? A question to while away the hours with, I suppose. New or old, there’s still only a small selection of RPGs, past and present, that can compare.

World of Warcraft

Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again. World of Warcraft lets you assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Thousands of players can interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, you’ll form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.

Second Life

Second Life is a highly imaginative, creative environment. Visiting Second Life is like stepping into a Dali or Magritte painting in 3D. The “fully textured high-resolution” avatars are customizable to the “nth” degree, with dozens of sliders to change every micro-pixel of your avatar’s shape, size, and color. While some “Lifers” (the preferred nickname of Second Life citizens) do their best to create miniature versions of their offline bodies, most use the opportunity to make themselves look as strange as possible. You never know what (or who) you’ll see in Second Life, which is part of the fun.

While many gamers visit Second Life, it is not a “gaming” world per se. The main in-world activity is the building of interactive objects using a scripting language that is theoretically designed to be simple enough for those with no previous programming experience. This fits in with Second Life’s stated goal of encouraging widespread group participation and creativity. Objects can be either donated to the world or can be sold for “Linden Dollars.”

Second Life’s often bizarre “waking dream” atmosphere may appeal more to creative artist and techie folks than to the casual social chatter. The world is so rich in features there is a bit of a learning curve to overcome to get started, which is somewhat alleviated by well-written help files available at the site and a first-visit tutorial. The very name “Second Life” conveys the idea that this is more of a rich, complex online experience than a place to drop by every once in a while for a quick game of “Tringo” with some buddies. If you get freaked out by seeing odd things that you can’t explain, this world is not for you. But postmodern surrealists will love Second Life’s ever-changing landscape with its stunning scenery and interesting creations. Plus, you can fly!

City of Heroes

Paragon City is in trouble. And I was just the man to help… well, woman sometimes, but that’s another story. It’s been a month since City of Heroes was released to store shelves and I can firmly say that I still really like this game. That isn’t to say that it doesn’t need some improvements in certain areas, but what Cryptic has created here is nothing less than one of the most exciting MMOs that I’ve ever played with the coolest premise.

IMVU

IMVU is a social game and entertainment site where millions of people meet, chat, play games and have fun. You can dress up your avatar, shop, decorate your room, create your own personalized look, and connect with new people around the world.

Dungeons & Dragons Online

Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO) is a fun, action-packed, massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that allows thousands of players to participate in a story-driven D&D campaign. DDO features swashbuckling adventures, betrayal and intrigue, and lots and lots of deep, dark, dangerous, trap-riddled dungeons.
