World of Warcraft - Game Review (PC)
By Emanuel Avram
Published: December 28, 2006
Print Horde Races
Horde has racial traits inclined towards PvP, having an advantage there.
The Orcs
Savage and green skinned, orcs are excellent warriors. They have increased resistance to stun effects, great for both PvE and PvP. They gain 5% more damage bonus for their pets, making them competent beast mastery Hunters or demonology Warlocks.
- Blood Fury - active - Increases base melee attack power by 25% for 15 sec and reduces healing effects on you 50% for 25 sec.
- Hardiness - passive - 25% resistance to stun and knockout effects.
- Command - passive - Pet melee damage increased by 5%.
- Axe Specialization - passive - Orcs get +5 to Axe skill.
Other Information
- Start Location: Durotar
- Home City: Orgrimmar
- Racial Mount: Wolf
- Available Classes: Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior
The Tauren
They are huge and massive! They can look cute... Females dance funny... Because of the hugeness, they tend to be targeted first, but they have a couple of abilities that stand out: 5% more Hit Points and warstomp, which stuns the nearby enemies, making them one of the hardest races to kill. Many players prefer choosing this class for shamans.
- War Stomp - active - Activate to stun up to 5 opponents within 8 yards - lasts 2 sec - 2 min cooldown
- Endurance - passive - Max Health increased by 5%
- Cultivation - passive - 15 skill bonus to Herbalism
- Nature Resistance - passive - All Tauren get +10 Nature Resistance
Other Information
- Start Location: Mulgore
- Home City: Thunder Bluff
- Racial Mount: Kodo
- Available Classes: Druid, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior
The Undead
Broken free from the control of the Lich King, the undead are in search now for freedom and revenge. Arguably the best PvP race in the game. Will of the forsaken is so powerful! Priests also get the powerful DoT (Damage over Time) spell “Devouring Plague”.
- Will of the Forsaken - active - Activate to become immune to Fear, Sleep, and Charm effects. Can also be used while already afflicted by Fear or Sleep - lasts 5 sec - 2 min cooldown
- Cannibalize - active - Activate to regenerate 7% of total health every 2 sec. by consuming Humanoid or Undead corpses within 5 yds - lasts 10 sec - 2 min cooldown

Other Information

- Home City: Undercity
- Racial Mount: Skeletal Horse
- Available Classes: Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior
The Trolls
Ye mon! The jungle trolls have the powerful Berserking skill that increases the damage they do, but they also take more damage. They also benefit from increased health regeneration during combat. A lot of mages prefer this race for the extra damage.
- Berserking - active - Increases your attack speed by 10% to 30%. At full health the speed increase is 10% with a greater effect up to 30% if you are badly hurt when you activate Berserking. Lasts 10 sec.
- Regeneration - passive - 10% health regen bonus, 10% active in combat

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.

Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.

Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?

Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.

Nitro Stunt Racing Stage 1
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.

GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.

Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
