Shot Online is a golf MMORPG that takes you into the a golfing world where you test your skills against other players as you level up.

Featuring realistic golf physics, players can create their golfer, train him or her up, purchase equipment or outfits, and compete in tournaments against other players.  One of the most interesting features I found while playing Shot Online was the diversity in the courses you can play.  They range from playing at your local public golf course to playing on a volcano, so even if your not great at golf you can still have fun with some of the intersting courses.  Another aspect of the game I really enjoyed was that it felt like a real mmorpg unlike most sports games out there.  In Shot Online as you level up you character gets stronger there are also quests you can do that unlock other golf courses and there is an entire online world full of golf stores and other shops for you to explore while your not on the golf course.   Shot Online is designed by Games Campus and is free to download and play and has an optional item shop.

Players can run story missions, take on quests, and train their skills. There are also dungeon sieges and, for the PvPers, solo and guild on guild battles.

I started to play Maple story the other day, Nexons popular 2D adventure game, and I have to admit I was very impressed.  When I first saw this 2D cartoon looking type game I figured it was not going to be very interesting becasue it seemed like it was a game designed more for the younger gaming audience, but I was very much wrong.  There were quite a few things I really enjoyed about Maple Story.  One of them was the game UI, it was very easy to understand and navigate through the game with it. The graphics I felt were also very appleaing considering it is only a 2D game.  You start off in the world of Maple Story by designing the look of your character.  After you have designed your character your start off at Maple Island where you will learn from the NPC’s simple hunting skills and basic controls that will  help you ease into the game. Then, you’ll board the ship that heads to Victoria Island, and that’s where your journey REALLY begins.  Now you must make the most important decesion you will ever make in Maple Story and that is which of the 5 classes you are going to choose to be.  You can pick from Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, and Pirate.  I decided to go with the Bowman becasue he seemed the most badass in my opinion.  Once you have your class its time to go out and start  your own adventure in the world of Maple Story.  Im sure some of you are dieing to start playing now so go to http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Main and get started.
