Currently (and VERY) Addicted To: zOmg! Gaiaonline.com MMO

CURRENTLY ADDICTED TO GAIA MMO ONLINE ZOMG WALLPAPER PICTURE

ZOMG Splash Page by Gaiaonline.com

As if Gaiaonline.com isn’t already addictive enough, I now need an hourly fix from zOMG! I’ve been a “Gaian” since 2004, although I’ve stopped playing it because it was boring just posting in forums to get gold to outfit your avatar. Barely have a decade after, Gaiaonline.com started making use of mini webgames, introduced more interactivity with the users. Flash games were a BIG plus to the website, and by directly linking ITEMS from flash games to avatars, players were able to enjoy the game more. Users ultimately influenced the creation of NPC (non-playable characters) that came from stories that users sometimes made up via Gaia fan fiction.

Then came Gaia Towns, it’s like the Yoville version in Facebook, except that Gaia Towns has been for quite some time online before Yoville. Gaians were able build houses for their avatars and literally explore neighborhoods. Now here comes zOmg, It’s like an offshoot of Gaia Towns. Since zOmg (Gaiaonline.com) is a flash game, there is no need to download a client/program. Nifty, though you’d need a fast internet connection and some serious RAM hardware as well as video card but it’s well worth it!

What makes zOmg unique from those keyboard bashing, mouse clicking games is the concept of the ring system. Max 8 rings, there are a lot of rings available from melee rings, ranged rings, support rings, status rings etc etc. Just imagine Lord of the Rings meets Captain Planet. It might be a couple of genres apart but hey, zOmg by Gaiaonline.com made it happen! I also like how the website storyline of Gaiaonline.com is integrated into the game by making user created NPCs from various storylines be available as NPCs. In fact, the whole world of Gaia originally drafted for forum boards interaction is used in zOmg! What you earn in Gaiaonline.com website can be used in zOmg and VICE VERSA!

Currently Addicted To : Alter Ego (Online Browser version)

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time and redo your choices in life? Want to be reborn again and grow up right? It’s now possible, virtually that is. Alter Ego is a life simulation game that starts with an alter “you” being born to completely unknown parents.

The game is all about decisions that you can choices, but be careful, because you can’t choose the consequences. Been a fatso at adolescence? Die at age 25. Grow up as a slacker? Be poor till the end. The game is a challenge since your choices can be as simple accepting sweets from a stranger (spoiler: which leads you to being kidnapped and killed at a young age) or playing baseball when you’re already too old. The game does have a depressing factor but I’ll leave that for you to find out.

Log on to Http://www.playalterego.com/ and register so that you can play your game again even if you log out. Relive your alter life well! Gerascophobic people (fear of growing old) have to stay away from this game.
