In
the World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience or
also known as a MMO -RPG (Massive Multiplayer Online - Role Playing Game).
Players create and take on the roles of
Warcraft heroes as the alliance or as the evil side, the horde. As the player explores, adventures, and quests across the world of Azeroth. Being a MMO-RPG, World of Warcraft allows thousands of players
to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting
against each other in PVP (player vs. player) battles, players will form
friendships, create guilds, and compete with enemies for power.
Formula
for a Successful World
World of Warcraft created the formula for a successful
MMO-RPG. They are the first of their kind and has dominated the MMO world for
the past ten years. Others have come and gone, trying to be the next World of
Warcraft, but they have failed. World of Warcraft has had over twelve million
subscribers with in the past decade. Their subscription fee is fifteen dollars
a month, add that up and you can tell why they are one of the most successful
MMO-RPG PC games of all time. With the financial backing to keep them going,
World of Warcraft has made expansion after expansion giving their game and the
world of Azeroth new life for their massive fan base. World of Warcraft
continues to this day to dominate the competition and I see them doing so until
they pull the plug on their own game, at least until their new game comes out
in 2016, Titan.

The
Call of Duty
Ever want to be a hero on a battlefield? but not really
get shot at? Well the Call of Duty franchise is just that. Call of Duty brings
the live action of war into your living room with just a controller in hand.
War is not to be taken lightly in no means, but the culture of the world is
infused with war, so Call of Duty cashed in on just that. There have been
hundreds of war games that are FPS (first person shooter) but for some reason
Call of Duty got it right. From my experience, I believe the reason for their
success comes from the flawless controls, meaning the feeling of the controller
in hand and the reaction time of movement is one of the best out there. Other
games may feel choppy or laggy, so you just don't want to play.
Formula
or Ritual?
Every year Call of Duty releases a new game; around
November sometime. This may be a huge reason why people flock to the series
because they can count on a new game from them every year, or it might be a
ritual for the company and players to have a point in their life in which they
have something to look towards. I'm not to proud to say that I am one of those
people that stand in line at midnight for my fix of Call of Duty. I have to be
one of the first online and start leveling my characters prestige level as fast
as possible.
Since I do this, people usually have a stereotypical name
for people like me; nerd or a no life, this is not true (well maybe the nerd
part). Even worse is when your fellow gamers online start calling you a no life
because you may be better than them or you are a higher level. this does not
mean you are a no life, yet you may have more time than them or may even be
better at the game; more kills = more points = leveling faster. I don't care
what people call me, I love what I do and it's my source of having fun, not
going out and getting drunk. I stay at home where my family knows where I am
and I am there if they need me.
