Week thirty-seven of my ongoing, irreverent news column; originally posted at Next Generation
Game of the Week:
Guild Wars Factions
ArenaNet/NCsoft
PC
Friday
This is sort of an expansion, though it’s being sold as a standalone entity. Think of it as Phantasy Star Online version 2, for the Dreamcast. With Factions installed, you can access either the normal Guild Wars campaign or a new second campaign exclusive to this release. This second bit, which ArenaNet likes to describe as a completely separate game, has your new regions, skills, professions, and whatnot and a whole new feature set for guilds and multiplayer play.
