    Guild Wars: Factions - The First 15

    This time we have 2 new character classes to add to the classes from the Prophecies campaign, giving you Assassin and Ritualist to choose from too. Assassins are fast and can link attacks together with ease, Ritualists can summon creatures from the void (spirits and the likes !) to aid them and party members in battle.
    Check it out over on HEXUS.gaming.

    As i own the original i was worried that i was going to find Factions samey and boring but the first mission area quickly dispelled that.

    Having been used to 8 players in a mission to find that it teams your 8 up with another 8 to have 16 of you in there and a monster battle that rages for half an hour it certainly gets the heart pumping!

    Great game to follow on from a great game!

    I really enjoyed doing that preview.

    Factions is definately a great addictive addon. Thing I really like about it is the fact the players that have never played Guild Wars Prophecies can pick it up and play as it doesn't require the origional.

    From what you see of the cutscenes on the first mission the story is definately one worth watching and following.

    I wondered about getting Guild Wars (because of the "freeness" and i can get one over on my friends who play Wow ). Since the exams are about to start and finish, it might be a good way to relax afterwards. Plus.. assassin classes are always good..
