WOW - an addict speaks

World of Warcraft continues to enthral. I had a lengthy session over the weekend, with some seriously impressive moments. One of these involved riding a large bat between two cities, which was utterly wonderful and nearly bought a tear to my eye (although that could have been due to WOW induced sleep deprivation). Other stand outs include stumbling across an enemy gnome - yes, any doubts that you weren't a geek will be expunged by this game - and instead of fighting or fleeing, we just stared at each other. He then clobbered me. Also spent a lot of time picking herbs, riding the zeppelin and generally sightseeing. It was just great fun. In fact if it hadn't been for Rhianna nabbing the review, I wouldn't have had to logout for a few hours to play Mario Power Tennis, which I am doing for Thursday. I've played a couple of other massively multiplayer online role playing games - no, I don't get paid by the word - before, but none have got close to the polish, ease and sense of place of WOW. If you've ever wanted to explore a new world then I'd highly recommend this.
