Aion seems to be a hit

Its early to say it but Aion seems to be getting praise from gamers. No official review has been set yet by a gaming site, nor will be taken seriously until they get midway. However I’ve been looking at peoples responses for the game and some of them are hailing this a world of warcraft killer.

As from 23rd September 2009

Not that I trust Gamespot but I trust the gamers over their bias paid reviews

198 gamers average score of 8.9

Metacritic is a great honest site that takes the averages from all sites, but their user score is slightly less.

28 gamers average score 8.2

Be wary of early hype

Early adopters are all looking for a replacement to World of Warcraft (as I am too). At first glance be fooled into the games beauty, then to be shot into grinding all through the mid-levels. I’m expecting a dip in these reviews over the next 2 weeks. However I won’t be diving into this game for at least 2 weeks (when the hype is slowly dies down). I remember the pain of starting MMO’s from day one, too many on servers, down times, etc. Check back soon for an update on the reviews.
