It was the best of launch weeks, it was the worst of launch weeks. Whether your tastes run toward the been-there-done-that familiarity of Aion, the rough frontier of Fallen Earth, the frustratingly fun Champions, or the refurbished DDO, we close out an excellent month of bold new MMOs.

- Spouse Aggro re: Fires – “It gives our games a sense of realism simply because it reminds us of real life.”
