If you’re not already familiar with Guild Wars, go read up on it. It’s a fantastic game well worth its price, if only for the art, music, and single-player experience. Of course, you’ll get so much more – cooperative and competitive missions, a story that is easy to get into, and maybe you’ll even make some new online friends.

Guild Wars Factions, the first of presumably many sequels, takes that same recipe for success and expands on it by adding new classes and an entirely new storyline. This time, the story takes place on Cantha, a far away continent with an Asian theme, and instead of a completely linear story, you will have to choose a side in an endless war between the Kurzicks and the Luxons, battling it out for control of land, power, and fame.
