Fear. It's not just for FPS fans anymore.
Just in time for Halloween, it's an editorial about things that go boo in the night. Have you ever been truly scared while playing an online game? Shayalyn loves the boo factor in MMOGs, and describes a moment that made her heart pound. She also muses about why MMOGs frighten us, and how Vanguard: Saga of Heroes will bring fear into the hearts of the citizens of Telon.
As I hurry through the darkness, I don't see the creature hovering in the shadows nearby. But it sees me. Suddenly its flying at me, its black cloak flapping, eyes obscured by a heavy hood. I nearly jump out of my skin. My gods, a Xi Vius! I know that to stop means to die, because there are other creatures lurking out in the blackness that will surely join this fight. And so I run. But this Xi Vius is fast, too...fast and silent, sailing over the terrain after me, no doubt bringing friends.
