Advantages: FPS, great questing, great immersion

Disadvantages: Probably dwindling population

Tabula Rasa is a scifi mmofps run by NCSoft (city of villains, guild wars). The game features a unique mmo engine where you shoot at the enemy and have to accurately point in their direction. This makes for an unsual roleplaying interface that becomes great fun, being able to chase weird and wonderful monsters with rifles holds strong.

The quest system works really well, the quests chain together so that all the quests in the zone end together and you get rewards for being thorough and completing all of the quests in a zone. The game is primarily solo but doesn't have to be, there is no real penalty for playing with others and the majority of your rewards come from completing the quests. There are plenty of quests that you need help for and there is usually someone knocking around that is pining for it too.

The world is very very unusual and is marketed as the vision of Richard Garriot. There's lots of spaceships flying past and atmospherics that get you really feeling it. The game has lots of PvP and guild vs. guild battles are great fun that rage across the whole planet.

A definitely must to experience this atleast once.

Summary: Great fun pew pewing aliens
