Guild Wars: Nightfall Review

Is Nightfall a hit or miss?

Computer Games has posted their review of Guild Wars' latest expansion Nightfall...

A year and a half ago, Guild Wars took the MMO world by surprise with its lack of a monthly fee. It was an interesting idea: Arena.net and NCsoft planned to compensate this through the sales of addons. Originally intended to be used with the original game, they eventually became stand alone titles themselves, called Chapters, the result being that the first Guild Wars became the Prophecies chapter. The second effect of this move was the price of the chapters, which if divided by the number of months it took to release one, resulted in the approximate value of the monthly fee in other MMOs. But it also meant that the game would have the same price tag as a stand alone title.
