Accessible Game Review - World of Warcraft

4/5
World of Warcraft is the big daddy of MMO's. In fact this was originally a WoW blog. I haven't played it for a couple of years though, so I was interested to see how accessible it was (and whether Blizzard had in fact jumped the shark with the Kung Fu pandas).

In the event I was pleasantly surprised on both counts. WoW doesn't need much setting up to play. Simply bind the middle mouse button to Move and Steer and you're away. The pandas aren't too bad either and the new continent is very lush.

WoW only loses a point because it still needs a bit of jumping, which I can't really do with the onscreen keyboard, and because you don't automatically face your opponents. Generally recommended, though.

Accessible Game Review - Lord of the Rings Online

4/5

Lord of the Rings Online is a fairly standard MMO in the vein of WoW or countless others, but it's set in middle earth, so that's okay. Most of the commands are fairly standard, but it does have one slight quirk.
Simply binding the W key to the middle mouse button allows you to walk forward, but not to turn, so I've had to be a bit creative. Binding both the W key and the right mouse button for the duration of the key press seems to do the trick.
