Not quite as impressive as previous expansions in terms of new locational content
The overhaul of the fundamental game mechanics have improved some character types

Abstract: With the launch of the third expansion pack for Blizzard's hugely successful World of Warcraft, a lot has changed for its players, but for those on the outside, everything probably seems to be the same. This game continues to pull in millions of sub...
Abstract: Destroying a world loved by 12 million people is quite a risky manoeuvre. One that perhaps only Blizzard would dare risk, knowing that its fans are that trusting of the World of Warcraft brand. A reboot is exactly what's needed from the aging but domin...

Abstract: I have a confession to make. I'm a total "n00b," as it were, when it comes to World of Warcraft. I just never got around to playing the MMO that's had everyone talking for half a decade. The Cataclysm expansion is going to change all that. I'm going t...
