    The overall quality of The Burning Crusade is simply astounding. The level of polish is high, which is to be expected from Blizzard. This does come with a price however, as patches for balance and new content are quite large. Thankfully, these are few and far between, and mostly the patches are small fixes to game issues. With many hours of gameplay just to make it to level 70, and much more thereafter, this expansion to the excellent MMO is more than worth its price. Of... Read more

    As the tail end of January approaches, the video game world is in a flurried buzz over the newest additions to both console and computer gaming. Games flow into the bigger, brighter, and better as the New Year rolls on with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo continuing the tradition of console proliferation, each of them having released the newest generation of their respective systems.

    Overall, I am more than impressed with what Blizzard has done with the World of Warcraft expansion. They simply continue their great tradition of expansion packs for games like Diablo and Warcraft III. There are so many things that remain to be said about this game, and so many things all of us would like to see added, but that's the great thing about World of Warcraft. Part of the reason why it's so consuming is because of its incredible scope and complexity that draws... Read more

    In 2004 Blizzard released World of Warcraft , the company's first foray into massively-multiplayer online gaming. Most expected the game to be good, but nobody could have predicted the game's enormous success. With millions of subscribers around the world, World of Warcraft rapidly became the gold standard for online role-playing games. Now, three years later, Blizzard unleashes their first expansion -- an add-on that introduces two new races, raises the character level... Read more

    If you have a high level character, it’s hard to find a reason for you not to buy The Burning Crusade. An entirely new continent filled with great content and with some really imaginative zones to explore make the expansion a must buy. For those looking to start a new character, there is a lot of fun to be had starting off as a new Draeni or Blood Elf. Their starting areas are content rich and you’ll quickly build up a character that’s ready for the battlegrounds.... Read more

    The first expansion to the award winning, best selling, highly rated MMORPG World of WarCraft. "The Burning Crusade" takes players into the Outlands, the shattered world formerly known as Draenor - the home of the Orcs of the Horde and the Draenei of the Alliance. TBC introduces players to two new races, the fallen high elves known as the "Blood Elves" and the "Draenei", as well as new classes available to players that weren't so before. Players go beyond the previous... Read more or see product
