For those waiting anxiously to get a taste of the highly anticipated Guild Wars 2, the wait is almost over. Arenanet has announced that, around March or April of this year, a public beta will begin. Arenanet says that before the public beta, select members of the press will receive invites first. As the public beta launches, anyone will be able to register. Guild Wars 2 is shaping up to be one of the most innovative MMOs of this generation, hoping to break the mold that WoW has set. Hit the jump to check out the beautiful gameplay trailer.

Queen's Blade... what anime fan hasn't heard of this franchise known for its all-female cast and overtly (sexualized) busty characters who do battle amongst themselves? Well, for those who haven't, good for you; you deserve a pat on the back. As for the rest of us sinners who have even heard (or even watched the thing), Korean developer Liveplex decided to make an MMO out of this Queen's Blade. CBT is slated for Q1 2012. Just reading this, you'd probably go "wtf is this?" if you're a normal sensical person or "YESSU" for the Ecchi fans. Add MMO into it and it's probably a nice big "NO", as this fairly NSFW trailer would prove it, right from Siliconera.

The Guild Wars 2 Panel at Comicon discussed the future of the MMO series. As its predecessor, Guild Wars 2 will be a one-time purchase, with expansions rather than a pay to play model, like World Of Warcraft. Click on to read more!

As a long time MMORPG player (and a gamer in general), I went looking for a Quality online game without the overused point-and-click system. After previous action-type games like Lunia, which is pretty good as well despite graphical hold backs and the community as a whole, I heard about Mabinogi Heroes, or Vindictus as it is called after the localization to the North American region under Nexon. After all, point-and-click games are overdone by now, as it isn't quite innovative to create such a game where the player clicks a monster, spams the same few keys and repeats the process a few billion times for progress. If anything, such a game makes for a nice sleeping pill. Lucky for Vindictus, it is more of an action online multiplayer game, although without the "Massively" in Massively Multiplayer Online RPG, though. Currently, it's running in Open Beta and will enter "Full Release" on October 27th. Website: Vindictus
