#8 Guild Wars 2
Guild Wars 2 has been a long time coming. As the sequel to the "cooperative online RPG" Guild Wars, the first free-to-play major MMO, Guild Wars 2 has a lot to live up to. Unlike the previous game, which offered the story in bits and pieces—or chapters—the sequel takes place in a persistent, wide open setting defined by the actions of players. Quests and events in Guild Wars 2 are dynamic. Equally dynamic is the combat, which promotes interaction between the player and his or her environment.
Like the original title, Guild Wars 2 will be completely free to play and will not require any ongoing subscription.
Guild Wars 2 is set for an exclusive PC release.
