In announcing its choice for MMO Game of the Year for 2012, Ten Ton Hammer has this to say about GW2:
“Rather than simply tapping out the same tired cadence we’ve all grown a bit too familiar with as new MMO releases parade by each year, Guild Wars 2 attempts to take the industry in new directions, bringing some much needed vitality and swagger to the genre.
“GW2 is an expertly crafted game, and the passion and creativity of the developers shine through in every aspect of gameplay. GW2 also manages to pack in more value than pretty much any other game released this year, offering a compelling experience whether you’re a diehard PvE traditionalist, hardcore competitive gamer, master strategist, or role-playing enthusiast.”
I couldn’t agree more. Grats ANet!
