Preview: World of Warcraft

The folks over at Game Over Online Magazine have put together a preview of Blizzards next game known as World of WarCraft. This preview has tons of screenshots along with more information about the overall game play and abilities that certain classes have.

Let me start with some of the new things. The biggest change for me in this push is that Blizzard unlocked the Horde races -- orcs, taurens, trolls, and the undead (they had been available in earlier pushes, but that was before I started playing). So I decided to play a tauren warrior. At this point, just like before, the races are basically the same, except that they look and sound different. For example, undead characters make sort of annoying moaning and groaning noises when they attack, but they don't have to worry about breathing underwater. Tauren, meanwhile, are much bigger than the other races. They're so big, in fact, that they have trouble getting through some doorways, and so my warrior has at times been annoying to play. This is something Blizzard is said to be working on.
