After a hiatus last week, we're going to dive back into things by looking at one of the most anticipated games coming down the pipes in the near future. The gameplay I've seen looks interesting, the tidbits of information they keep tossing us seem to give a lot of us shivers of anticipation! That's right, folks. I'm talking about Guild Wars 2 today! I have a feeling that those of you who have been following this game closely, and there are a lot of you as I understand it, won't have too much trouble getting near-perfect scores today.
