(http://www.massively.com/)Our sister site Massively (http://www.massively.com/) covers many different angles of the MMO universe - it's not all just World of Warcraft over there. Which is not to say we don't love WoW! Our weekly roundup will try to give you a look at the best WoW-related content on Massively from the last week. You can click on the links below or subscribe to a special WoW-only Massively feed (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/12/21/wow-insider-and-massively-special-wow-24-7-feed/) to follow our ongoing coverage of your favorite game. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/12/ma34525ssive34lyspicksforbestof08header_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/16/massivelys-picks-for-the-best-of-2008/) Massively's picks for the best of 2008 (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/16/massivelys-picks-for-the-best-of-2008/)
Massively doesn't hand out awards. We're not the Oscars, we're not the Emmys. What we are, though, is a bunch of opinionated MMO bloggers. Like it or hate it, 2008 was an enormous year for our favorite genre of games. We took a poll among the staff of the site, taking stock of an entire year in gaming. What follows are our picks for the best, the most surprising, the games that we just can't wait to play. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/12/rockpapershotgunalecmeerwowwar425_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/19/the-wow-vs-war-debate-makes-top-10-list-of-video-game-rage/) The WoW vs. WAR debate makes Top 10 list of video game rage (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/19/the-wow-vs-war-debate-makes-top-10-list-of-video-game-rage/)
Alec Meer of Rock, Paper, Shotgun recently put a new twist on the 'top 10' lists that are cropping up at year's end -- a sort of top ten of gaming rage as expressed on the intertubes. Much of this list is focused on single-player titles and the industry itself, but Meer's 'Orc vs Orc' (#8 on the list) caught our attention. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/12/warcraft_nerd_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/18/wow-code-better-than-a-pocket-protector/) Fill out your "WoW Code" to show your Azeroth pride (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/18/wow-code-better-than-a-pocket-protector/)
If you've ever woken up in the morning and said to yourself, "Gee, I'd like to appear nerdier today," then do we have the story for you! Scare your real life friends and confuse even the staunchest gaming nerd. Use "WoW Code" in your forum signature! http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/12/post12title_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/17/player-consequences-movie-magic-and-mmos/) Player Consequences: Movie Magic and MMOs (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/17/player-consequences-movie-magic-and-mmos/)
Video games have quickly grown into one of the most popular forms of entertainment in this day in age. Almost everyone under eighteen plays them and developers are getting better at making games that appeal to older generations. Still, there are other forms of media that enjoy more mainstream awareness. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/12/yinyang_cats_resize_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/20/behind-the-curtain-multiple-mmos/) Behind the Curtain: Multiple MMOs (http://www.massively.com/2008/12/20/behind-the-curtain-multiple-mmos/)
Is one MMO ever enough? Lots of people play more than one MMO. Among the staff here at Massively, you would be hard pressed to find a writer with only one active subscription. Ever the exception however, I am a one-game kind of guy. http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Last Week on Massively: WoW-related stories (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/23/last-week-on-massively-wow-related-stories/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:00:00 EST.
