Is it better or worse than Planetside? :confused:

I played E&B for a month close to the launch and regretted it ever since. IMHO, two words describe the game. They are, in no particular order, "repetitive" and "boring." If you want a fuller explanation, let me know. :)

Edit: Jeffro, I just remembered - in the most recent issue of PC Gamer, there's a CD that offers a 14 day trial of UO, E&B, and... something else that I can't remember. I'd be happy to rescue it from the trash for you, if you'd like.

Suit yourself - it's really not worth it, IMHO. You can do a lot better. :)

Ahhh! That makes much more sense! The issue has a decent discussion of upcoming shooters (inc. Call of Duty), so it's worth it, IMHO. And, it makes mention of a remake of one of my most favorite games of all time - System Shock 2. :D
