Gunz - Today's Time Waster

There are tons of online MMORPG's, right? How many are free? Now how many of those are really worth the investment in time? Yeah, that's what I thought. While it might not be as engrossing or open as Battle for Westnoth, Gunz: the Duel is a thrilling ride. Gunz is a Korean-based MMORPG with elements of The Matrix and Oni wrapped in an online RPG with some teeth. While Gunz is free to a point, like other MMORPG's, you can buy upgrades with real money. The word beta is plastered all over the Gunz site, and it's worth keeping in mind the game may someday not be free. It's Windows-only, but worth the time to learn all the killer moves. And there are lots of great moves, most of which take a lot of practice to master. You twitchers out there will have a field day. Besides, nothing beats being able to hack some folks to pieces while running along the wall of a long corridor. The fact that you can do this while cracking open a beer with your other (real) hand is a bonus. Read more about Gunz: the Duel on Wikipedia.
