Advantages: Brilliant, well-thought out online game

Disadvantages: Have to pay a monthly account fee, need a 3Dfx card

Everquest. The most amazing online RPG I've ever laid eyes on. The only problem with this game is that you have to have a 3Dfx graphics card to be able to play it. Also, a reliable, fast internet connection is a definate bonus, as you don't want your characters to be continually dying just because your connection does.

Otherwise though, this really is a world you feel part of. With seasons, weather, day and night, other people moving around you and conversations "face to face" with other people, you really feel as if you are there, in the game. You start making friends just as you would in real life, and you take on the persona of your character.

There are quests and activities to do, but mostly, it's learning new trades, killing anything from bats upwards and training your mental abilities.

It's a really good game, very exciting. The only downside once you've got the correct hardware to run it, is that you have to pay $10 (about £6.65) a month to Sony for your online gaming account (which keeps your character account active).

Everquest can now be bought with it's expansion pack (Ruins of Kunark) for £20 to £30. Definately worth it if you have the 3Dfx card to run it.
