age-of-reckoning posts

It's difficult to figure out where to start when talking about Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR). There are so many interlocking layers that it's hard to talk about one feature without mentioning another. The bottom line is WAR is one of the best fantasy themed MMO's we've ever played. Its seamless blending of PvP and PvE provides a superb gaming experience and it's hard to not get completely drawn into the action.

EA is hoping that two distinct flavors will go well together. This video shows off the Kossar Helm, a special Warhammer Online bonus item available only to users who purchase both WAR and Red Alert 3. Not only does the helm look pretty slick (especially on Dwarves), but it will also allow players to transform into bears. Unfortunately, you can't wear the helm while in bear form.
