As much as I like FusionFall’s
strategy for cracking into the market, I have to recognize that the
game is not really free-to-play. Like in  href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/61447" target="_blank"> style="font-style: italic;">Wizard101,
players who don’t subscribe will hit a serious wall and be unable to
continue playing the game. Such a setup differs from a F2P game with an
item mall; I can play Mabinogi
forever without buying any of the things in the item mall, but I have
to spend money to continue playing FusionFall.
That doesn’t mean the title from Cartoon Network isn’t worth a try. It
just means it can’t get a spot on this list.

The big change this week is moving  style="font-style: italic;">Shin Megami Tensei Imagine
down to #10. I am still excited to play it, but I haven’t looked at it
since closed beta. On top of that, my schedule looks pretty full until
mid-February. I’ll get back to it and deliver a more in-depth analysis
soon (some time after my Secret
of the Solstice coverage).
