A Question of Time
I have too many games.
No let me rephrase that, I have a lot of games and not enough time. I admin a MUD, RP on it, Admin an PvP RPG site, I have a family and I game. I have decided that unless a game is a must have I will buy no more games untill i finish at least 50% of the ones i have now. (The must haves include assassin's creed and Overlord 2 and if they ever make it Dungeon Keeper 3)
So My actively trying to finish list is:
PS2
Devil May Cry 2
.Hack Infection
Tales of the Abyss
Gamecube
Animal Crossing
Tales of Symphonia again
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
Baten Kaitos
Dreamcast
Sword of the Berserk: Guts Rage
Shenmue
Star Lancer
PC
Overlord
Icewind Dale
ONLINE
Guildwars Factions
Recently Finished
PS2
Devil May Cry
ONLINE
Guildwars
Trashed
Sims Busting Out (Just lame and annoying)
Mana World
Will keep you all posted on the progress

Virrl gaming AKA Word of Mouth
Finally an answer and suggestion from a marketerr of what needs to be done to get games noticed.
One thing that was left out of both my blog and his blog. GIVE IT TIME. Word of mouth takes time to spread and even more time for a group to finsh a game then decide if it has a replayabilty factor.

Mana World Online Not worth the Price (
Ok so a group of players from the mud have been playing a 2-d MMO. They suggested I check it out. All i can say after a week of fooling with it is 'OH THE GRIND!"
Mana world is 2-d graphics think Shining Force, Secret of Mana etc.. It states that the server is for testing so things will change. Well, a LOT of changes need to be made IMHO to make it worth my time. You start out naming your character etc. You can have multiple characters on an account, so that is cool They you pick your look and arrive in the world in a newbie area. You are basically naked. At this point you have no class (I mean that in the D&D sence of the world although like any MMO many players fulfill that in other senses.)
Suring the tutorial stuff you learn that the residents of this world gain money by killing "monsters" (OKAY, so the world has no manufacturing, agriculture or other means of making a living?) So right off my LAME STORY WRITING radar went off. For reasons unknown these non humanoid monsters such as slime, maggots and bugs seem to carry money. I am not certain WHY they have it but so be it. Some also carry potions and other items. Ok so it's a newbie area i will cut it some slack.
You also get points for slaying so many monsters. Sort of like bounty points. When you acheive enough points you can trade the them in for items Now THIS makes more sense! Except... what am I going to do with 3 presents i cannot open? I cannot select specific rewards. So I sell excesses and continue.
Off I go with my avatar to whack some maggots. Along the way I run into a guy who for some reason needs 30 bug legs to complete his action figure. Ooookaaay then, I'll just keep an eye out for them shall I? 5 hours of play time later I have 17 of the 30 needed. The game has become VERY repetative and at level 21 I am still denied access to the next area.
The times I was on there were around 60 players on average on. The server lagged awfully. I logged out and deinstalled. So. If you want a place to socialize go to facebook. If you want a MMO try guildwars or a Mud or anything else. Sorry to say Mana WOrld is not worth the price.
