MMORPG.com's Matt Plourde was inspired ocver the holidays to play Wizard 101 with his niece. Today, he presents us with his early impressions of the game.

I've been playing graphical MMORPGs since the original Neverwinter Nights, hosted by AOL, in 1992. Through the years, I've played most of the major MMORPG releases and plenty of free-to-play offerings. I've gamed with friends, but never family - until now. On Christmas Eve, I noticed my thirteen-year old niece playing what looked like an MMORPG. She showed me Wizard 101. I jumped at the chance to play an online game with a family member, and installed the game that night. Despite being geared toward a younger crowd, this game has some depth and a palpable "fun" factor for all ages.
