Traditionally, World of Warcraft expansions have upped the level cap, added new high-level regions to explore, and maybe a few new crafting professions and a new race or two. The Cataclysm expansion goes way further. In lore terms, the world of Azeroth...

The new WoW: Cataclysm content has arrived after the previously released WoW: The Stattering content patch literally changed the world – now with the latest expansion pack, there are two new playable races in the World of Warcraft!The dilemma that many...
Both new playable race starting areas end with you actively choosing to continue on with your character’s life. This adds a degree of emotional connection between the player and character that will probably prevent me from ever typing in “DELETE.” Both...

The facts speak for themselves: 3.3 million units sold in 24 hours, beating the previous fastest selling video games title (which, unsurprisingly, was the last World of Warcraft expansion...) Whether you think that the mother of all MMORPGs is the be...
Although expectations for this latest expansion were sky high, Blizzard has managed a minor miracle by daringly destroying and remoulding the Warcraft world while hooking new and returning players with their new races and gameplay upgrades...

WoW used to be all about the end-game for me, so much so that raiding was, for a couple of years, one of the only reasons I logged on to play. Now that Cataclysm has arrived, I’m far less convinced that I’ll be spending much time raiding at all. With the...

We were nearly out, damn it. We were so close. We had friends. We had a decent job. We hadn't (recently) left any children to die during one of our 22-hour marathon binges. We were finally free. And then Cataclysm happened. Now the mere act of writing...

Cataclysm has set out to reimagine Blizzard's highly successful World of Warcraft from the ground up. Has this bold step paid dividends?...
Redesigned classic zones breathe new life into Azeroth. Improved game mechanics. New dungeon and raid experiences. New rated battlegrounds. Goblins and worgen.
Slightly less engaging higher level areas than earlier expansions. As you'd expect, some aspects feel like a work in progress.

To anyone who’s never played an MMO before, explaining the inherent difficulties of a ‘review’, expansion pack or otherwise, of pretty much any entry to the genre can be exceedingly difficult. Because outside of experienced MMO players, there’s just no...
A worthy addition to the Warcraft canon and easily enough reason to return to the World Of Warcraft if you’ve spent some time away, but probably pretty annoying if you had an all-purple WOTLK character. 8.6/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this pageN...

While Blizzard may well have been around for nearly 20 years, and had all sorts of success in that time (by any other measure), few would dare claim that World of Warcraft isnt the out-and-out success story of the organization. Almost instantly ecli...

While I do have some criticisms of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, there's more than enough to keep me happy, and I'm certainly already hard at it, blasting through levels and exploring the new areas of the game (perhaps a little faster than I expected...
