1 - World of Warcraft

Now who has not heard of this game? With millions of people playing and the only bad thing about the game is you become to addicted...you cannot go wrong.

Play PvP and kick the other factions @*#. Team up and do instances with friends. Hit level 80 and go back to your old stomping grounds to redo things in Heroic mode. There is so much to do in this game one cannot possibly list it all.

2 - Guild Wars

With 3 games and 1 expansion this game never ends. Guild Wars has a storyline and the best graphics (so far) on the market. Get involved with a guild and have instant friends. Your guild can join an alliance and then you have 1000 people to play with 24 hours a day. The PvE is all instanced. So you do not have other people killing your bosses and getting your items unless you invited them to go with you. Obtain titles in the game to display and show how good you are. Collect armor, weapons, heros, and mini pets to display in your Hall of Monuments (HoM). The HoM offers a way for players to transfer your characters and items to the next game called Guild Wars 2 (soon to enter beta). This MMORPG is soloable with henchmen and heros to makeup for other people when you cannot find a group, or choose to go alone. No monthly fee!!

This is an older game but one of the best on the market still. Distributed by EA games Battlefield lets you get into the game more than most others.

You can kill other people while they are driving a jeep full of players causing them all to crash and die. This game offers you the opportunity to play different types of soldiers. One type, a medic, allows you to revive or heal fallen comrades. If you still have not picked up this game...if you keep over looking it in the game store...stop and pick it up.
