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...
While I do have some criticisms of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, there's more than enough to keep me happy, and I'm certainly already hard at it, blasting through levels and exploring the new areas of the game (perhaps a little faster than I expected ...
Abstract: Until recently it might have been considered hyperbole to say that World of Warcraft bears little resemblance to the game that it launched as six years ago. But now, following the recent releases of both a major free update and the eagerly anticipated ...
New zones with satisfying stories and varied quests are the best to date, Fun and very different starter zones for new races, Guild leveling and rewards systems are great additions, Level and gear restrictions introduced for battlegrounds and dungeons respectively, Masterful use of phasing technology makes your actions feel impactful.

The overall game is much improved in terms of its overall design; Exciting new dungeons and raids to challenge players; PvP fans are taken care of with new battlegrounds and a new rated system; Two new character types and class combinations.
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, but others feel like they still need work.
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...
If you're a regular Tom's Hardware reader, a performance evaluation like this is par for the course. If you're new here, your head is probably spinning after seeing all of those bar and line charts, along with the talk of scaling, bottlenecks, and code...
