Aion: The Tower Of Eternity (PC) Review @ GH

______________

The MMORPG genre has been dominated for so long by World Of Warcraft that it seems almost impossible for any other titles to get a long term foothold. Developers keep trying however because this market is so lucrative and today we look at the much hyped MMO entitled 'Aion' from far east developer NCSoft.

I also made you guys a few desktop pictures based on Aion artwork.

Thanks for the wallpapers. I don't care for the game (just because it is a MMORPG), but it sure is pretty!

I found Aion very clunky and uninteresting when i got into the Beta. The controls didn't do it for me and some minor little decisions such as turning whilst talking to an NPC stops the conversation really annoyed me and stopped it being engrossing.

Nice review though could be worth keeping an eye on

Thanks for the wallpapers.

Are the character models in the wallpapers artwork as well, or do they actually look that good in game?

Those are renders. Would be nice if the ingame graphics were that nice mind you.
