Thinking of stopping to pick one of these up today. Any opinions?

My thoughts so far

Warhammer -
I haven't had an MMO for awhile and this one sounds cool.
PVP focus seems like it would let me play alittle, stop, come back, etc rather than having to dedicate hours.

Spore-
I've held off so far over the DRM crap
My four year old LOVES the creature creator
Single player, so I can definately start/stop whenever I want
 
Spore was alot of fun for me, I played pretty much non-stop and stayed up till 2-3am (haven't done that since the original CIV days) and got about 50 hours out of it before I got bored. Good value/$ ratio.

I used to WoW and will never go back to an MMO, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Buy Spore and play/spend time with your kid.

An MMO would be the exact opposite of that.

Have to agree with this although I'm enjoying WAR for now. I also don't have a social life and no friends but that's for another thread. :eek:
 
WAR has no grind, unlike WoW.
It's VERY casual friendly.
I say get WAR.
 
Decide if you want an online game or a single player game, there's your answer.

Personally, I am enjoying WAR. And while the game is 10000x funner when you are playing with a big guild, you can still enjoy it just logging on and hoping in a scenario if you wish.

This is totally not an issue. She's most of the reason that I want something that I can put down easily. Everyone is replying Spore, but the votes are opposite that.. lol
 
Warhammer, Spore is shalow and has crap DRM, WAR is awesome.

if you can play spore with your kid, you can also play WAR, what a stupid attempt at an argument.

No, it's totally reasonable. Four years old is alittle young for WAR imho. Tho the later stages of Spore probably are too.
 
Warhammer

I'm more so into MMORPGS than Sim-Life games. Although, I do like Black & White and the Creatures series.

War on the forum seems favorable. The game, not actual war situations. :p
 
Seems I'm the only one at the moment that's supporting Wrath of the Lich King over the other two. :)
 
Spore. MMOs suck.

Seriously though, if you're daughter's into it, think of buying it not only for yourself but for her as well.
 
Spore is fun for a while, but the end game is horrible (boring). I think I got about 5-10hours out of it before getting rid of it. Anyways, if your daughter likes creating creature, why not just get the creature creator? I've not played WAR, so I can't comment on that.

Rubbish.

C'mon Jack, take that mask off, you're busted.

lol, nah... I'm not against kids gaming, etc. I'm just guessing that you don't have kids. When she's older these things won't be an issue but at four it's too early. Her idea of gaming greatness are flash games on Nick♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (wubzy, dora, etc) and she's got an old beater laptop for that. She likes rock band too but only in small doses.

Anyway, I grabbed WAR. She likes the creator and I've already got that. I doubt that she'd like Spore proper as well as she does the creator. I'll pick up the wow expansion later too.

Honestly, I wouldn't have brought my kid up if I had realized the thread would get so focused on her. Her and I hang out and play every day, I don't need a game in order to bond with her.
 
As far as MMO's go its fun to play them with your Kids. My GF has a 5yr old and me and him sit down and play WoW all the time. He gets a kick out of it. I play a lock so to me the violence isnt as bad other characters could be. Im using magic, which to even a 5yr old is not "real", as opposed to shotguns or swords. We have fun everytime we play...I let him take over and he hunts wolves and bears...lol

War was a good choice...If I wasnt so close to 70 on my lock (first character) I would pick it up myself. But since im still new to WoW im having fun and everything is still new to me. Im looking forward to WOTLK.
 
She likes to jump and run around a bit when I'm playing first person games. I'm pretty sure that she plays alittle EQ2 with her grandpa who watches her every day. I might see what she thinks of WAR but I doubt she'll be too interested.

I'm a tool. The only reason I'm planning to pick up WOTLK is because I've already got the first two collector's editions and I want to have the third too.
