World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

12 Million Subscribers can't be wrong when it comes to how fun a game can be. World of Warcraft revolutionized the way MMOs are created now and it's still holding on to the reins of most popular MMO game of all time. That being said, Cataclysm is sure going to help them do it. With more new features than you can shake a stick at, it's sure to keep you glued to your seat!

Starting out the list of cool new features is the epic storyline that brings Deathwing back into the mix. If you haven't played the original games or read the books, than you might be wondering who he is. /nerdmoment. He's one of the five dragon aspects. More specifically, he is in charge of the Black Dragonflight, and he was made to watch over the earth and the deep place by the titan's when they created Azeroth. The Old Gods, who are enemies of the titans, corrupt him by making him extremely paranoid and power hungry. He turns on his brethren and forces them into submission with a powerful artifact known as the Demon Soul. Eventually, during the second war (Warcraft 2), the Demon Soul is destroyed and Deathwing is beaten by the combined forces of the other aspects. Beaten, but not killed. He licks his wounds and hides deep in the earth in a place called Deepholm. This is eventually where he rises up from, throwing Azeroth into a chaotic mess. /nerdmomentdone.

Cataclysm adds new content and features to keep you coming back to Azeroth. Two new playable races are a big addition (Goblin for Horde, Worgen for Alliance). The world pre-cataclysm is altered in major ways. Some zones have been revamped completely, while others are brand new. This leads to a major amount of quest changes and offer a brand new experience for those that played the original game. A new secondary skill, Archaeology, is added which makes exploring much more rewarding. More Raiding and PvP Content is added and you'll be able to fly in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms finally!

It's going to be interesting on both sides now that the Greymane wall is open, and that some goblins are officially siding with the horde. Battle.net integration is also going to be used. If you play the game you've already seen the effects first hand. Blizzard is integrating all their current games with Battle.net. Starcraft 2 (Which you'll see later on) and Diablo 3 are also using this system, which means you can stay in touch with all your friends even if you aren't on the game they're playing! Also, if you have a graphics card that supports DirectX 11, Blizzard is including some experimental support for it! This game is going to be epic (pun intended). With all the new features they're adding, what are you waiting for? You can order if now on Battle.net or pick up in stores!
