Game List


Not all games may be available in your region, and you should carefully read the related pages before making a purchase. 

I do have plans to upgrade this in the future, as I am able to find time. Current plans include:
  1. More titles supported.

I’m always looking for new ideas for the Game Page. If you have a thought you’d like to submit, send it in below.

Synopsis: A Tale In the Desert is an open world MMO set in ancient Egypt. As normal citizens, players build up resources and complete various tests ranging from creating an art piece and gaining “likes” on it, to wine brewing to beetle breeding and everything in between. With no combat whatsoever, A Tale In The Desert stands out as a very unique game for players who would prefer a relaxing world to live in rather than one where their level depends solely on killing large amounts of nameless bad guys.

  • Publisher: Funcom
  • Payment Model: Free to play/Cash Shop/Subscription
  • Official Website: http://ageofconan.com/
Synopsis: Age of Conan is an action oriented MMO for those who would rather not sit back and hit the same keys over and over again. Rather, players must read their enemy’s defenses and decide from which direction to strike and when. The world Conan built has a heavy emphasis on player vs player combat, albeit not as heavy as MMOs like Mortal Online or Darkfall.

Synopsis: Aion is a fast paced game with a heaping dollop of crafting, and a heavy focus on player vs player combat centered around capturing and defending territory in the end-game Abyss. Touting flight as one of its major features, Aion allows players to take to the skies and introduces the factor of height to the combat experience. Despite its criticism as being heavy on grinding, Aion stands as NCsoft’s best source of income above the Lineage brand.

  • Publisher: Quest Online
  • Payment Model: Free to play/Cash Shop
  • Official Website: http://www.myalganon.com

Synopsis: Alganon has been compared to many things, all of them named World of Warcraft. Of course, Quest Online would rather you just download the game for free and play through the first thirty levels, also for free. What you will find in Alganon may not play much differently than many other MMOs, but with a price tag of $0, it’s difficult to justify not at least downloading the client and giving the game a try.

Synopsis: All Points Bulletin is a cops and robbers MMO set in a city gripped by crime and an overactive and thuggish police force. Players can play as either side in the ongoing struggle in a purely player vs player arena. relying on your ability to drive, shoot, and occasionally leave the criminals alive long enough to arrest.

Age of Empires Online is the free to play sequel to the long standing series, allowing players to level up both free and premium civilizations. The persistent civilization allows players to level up and gather more troops and resources, while the action takes place on the instanced planes on new and old maps in locations from Egypt to Rome.

Purchase On:

  • Currently no MMO Fallout trusted retailers sell Anarchy Online. Anarchy Online expansions can be purchased directly from Funcom.

Synopsis: Anarchy Online is one of the oldest surviving MMOs on the market. Launched back in 2001, this game brings science fiction to the MMO world. Players take advantage of nano technology, the game’s over 80 skills, and the world itself to create their own story in a game with dynamic missions, player vs player combat, and more. Without a real set “end-game,” Anarchy Online expects players to do the dirty work, and create their own social environments to live in.

Purchase On:

Synopsis: Asheron’s Call is a testament to its fanbase, given it survived its would-be and short lived successor, yet still manages to live on over a decade later. Offering a massive world without load zones, Asheron’s Call has stood the test of time and cemented its place in the hall of MMOs.

Synopsis: Champions Online is actually the second superhero MMO built by Cryptic Studios, the first being City of Heroes. Champions Online is an action-based MMO that offers players an intense, detailed character creator. With a massive array of costume choices to pick from, players are able to customize themselves and their arch-nemesis to their liking. In-game, players will quickly become accustomed to the notable factions, friendly and not so much, in their attempts to keep the world safe.

Purchase On:

Purchase On:

Synopsis: Craft of Gods already has a unique line going for it: It is based off of Slavic mythology. Set in an open world environment, players are offered a pool of skills to level up in rather than choosing from predetermined classes. With a slight emphasis on mounted combat, Craft of Gods allows players to tame a wide assortment of creatures to ride and fight from, and a feature seen in relatively few MMOs: Player owned housing. With a free server to choose from, Craft of Gods is at least worth a download.

Synopsis: CrimeCraft is a third person shooter in the purest sense. Players level up by completing missions, allowing them access to more weapons and better abilities with the restriction on how many of those weapons/abilities they can take into combat (similar to Call of Duty). Players can experience the full game for free, with bonuses for subscribing (faster loot acquisition and faster experience gain). Crimecraft also features a campaign mode that offers back story to the world itself.

Synopsis: Dark Age of Camelot is the game that capitalized on Realm Vs Realm warfare, or very large scale factional player vs player combat. A fantasy MMO that takes place in a world in chaos following the death of King Arthur, Dark Age of Camelot is heavy on player vs player combat, cross-faction, and siege warfare.

Purchase On:

Synopsis: Darkfall is billed as the game for Ultima Online fans. Stat-based leveling? Check. Territory control by guilds? Check. Siege warfare? Check. Player owned housing? Check. Those seeking a game where player vs player combat can be avoided should search elsewhere, as there is no ground in this game where you cannot be killed by anyone and everyone. Solo play is a difficult task as well.

Synopsis: DC Universe is an action-oriented MMO that allows players to create their own hero/villain and enter iconic areas in the DC Universe. Fight alongside or against notable persons from Superman to Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and more. DC Universe offers players choice between optional and all-world player vs player combat, a system familiar to most MMO players.

Synopsis: Dungeons and Dragons Online is an action-oriented game that takes the group-based system of its pen and paper equivalent and places it in an MMO environment. Although solo player is possible, players will have a much more enjoyable time joining groups and tackling dungeons. Each dungeon is a unique story, voiced over by the ominous dungeon master, as players make their way through catacombs, disarming traps, finding secret passages and more importantly: obtaining loot.

Players play entirely through space ships in a single world dominated by player-run corporations, determining who has access to what. There is a lot to be learned in Eve Online, as the MMO known for its steep learning curve, but true power comes only to those who seek it.
