Now then, I forgot to mention that the reviews are biweekly, meaning twice a week. There might be more updates than that in one week, but there will only be two reviews. Situations like these will be for major technology news, or site changes, etc. Speaking of site changes, we've completed the creation of this blog! Well, for now atleast. In the resources category to the right there will be the reviews sorted into different categories, as well as some other stuff. More links will soon be added, so don't fret.

Maple Story

A cutesy-cutsy anime 2D side-scrolling free massively-multiplayer online role-playing game. (*Mouthful*)

This MMORPG is set in the islands of Maple, Victoria, and Orbis. After you choose one of four proffessions, you can then later move onto a specific speciality after leveling up your character to the appropriate level. There are hundreds of different weapons, clothes, and items for collecting, as well as a few "cash shop" items. These items you pay for in real life and affect your gameplay only slightly, 'cause hey, Nexon has to make money with this game somehow. The other players are friendly, with a few exceptions. I've been playing since it officially came out in the US in May, and after a few flat-liners in terms of enthusiasm for this game, I've stuck with it. At times it's a bit repettitive and boring, and the world may seem small sometimes, but just partner up and those blues will fly away.

I chose a game bacause this will be the last post before the holidays, and I thought I might influence some people to have fun for once. Next week there will be no reviews, so go enjoy yourself.
