Aion is a Beautiful MMORPG but a Grindfest Video Game
I would like to call the attention of NCSoft to revamp the XP and quest system of Aion because leveling from level 30 onwards is pure grind torture. Aion got massive hype for its beautiful graphics and animation but there is more to gaming than just eyecandy effects. I no longer have the patience to hit the max level 50 due to the great difficulty of advancing in later levels. I already noticed this grindfest when I was in my early Level 20s.

Why Play Aion MMORPG and Why You Should Not
Aion offered other attractions aside from its gorgeous graphics and fluid animation. Unlike other MMORPG, Aion offered players who hit level 10 the immediate ability to fly. One of the strongest selling point of Aion was flying and fighting in flight. This is nothing revolutionary or original since the Chinese-made Perfect World already offered this mid-air PVP since 2007. The acclaimed Aion combat feature called chain-attack is also a fresh take on Person vs Person (PVP).

World of Warcraft (WOW): One of the Most Addictive Games in History
Team members of this site just discussed World of Warcraft, which at the moment seems to be the best candidate as the most addictive games in history. We hope we can discuss how addictive World of Warcraft is but we just can’t in a few paragraphs. World of Warcraft has been around since 2004. It is a creation of Blizzard Entertainment. Since the release of World of Warcraft, it has enjoyed great deal of success among gamers worldwide.
There had been incidents though that suggest that indeed World of Warcraft is an addictive game. Some of these incidents are part of our collective memories as a team of publishers and online gamers. The World of Warcraft game has even claimed lives of players and their family members, according to reports. Even in the Philippines, WOW has been patronized by Filipino gamers. Elementary pupils usually play 12 straight hours. High school and college students even play longer (some have been seen to have played 36 hours). To be honest, we have not seen a game that even came close to the addictiveness of World or Warcraft.

Xbox Live News: Xbox Live Down Again and Angers Users
Microsoft’s Xbox Live is down again so don’t get upset if you can’t connect to the Xbox Live server (although many people are mad already). The outage was scheduled by Microsoft for 24 hours. That means a full day without Xbox Live. 
Reports have it that in addition to Xbox Live being down, you won’t be able to access the “My Xbox” section of Xbox.com, and the Xbox forums will be in read-only mode. Do note that this downtime will not result in any new features once Live goes back up — it’s only intended to prepare the service for the big Xbox Dashboard re-launch set to happen later this year, that will add new navigation features and as well the Microsoft Avatars.
