Ten Ton Hammer finally has a review for Magic World Online, which has been in the Top 10 since this list started. Like me, the reviewer (our Eric "Dalmarus" Campbell) doesn't quite get the purpose of the AI Bot. He dislikes that one design decision so much that he rated the game 1/5 Hammers. I urge readers to try it and report back. Dalmarus and I agree that the game has a deep story that makes the killing all worthwhile. But does the AI Bot ruin the experience for you, too?

My quest to find great free-to-play games continues. I have been playing Secret of the Solstice and Sword of the New World at the urging of readers. Before I tell you what I think about those games, I'll be bringing you my preview of Runes of Magic. The Open Beta starts Monday, December 15, so I'll be able to talk about what I have seen so far. Stay tuned!
