A Cursory Look at Aion

First on my hit list of things to see at PAX was easy enough to accomplish. The game was being demo-ed at the shared ArenaNet/NCsoft booth. I got a chance to briefly play Aion: The Tower of Eternity to help test it before the NCsoft booth opened. It's a very other-worldly, very beautiful game. I think the art style is fabulous, though many of the female characters' costumes leave something to be desired (like more clothing, for instance). Flight is fun. I didn't have much time to try out aerial combat, but what I did experience piqued my interest. The ground combat was familiar MMORPG-style combat. I'll continue to keep an eye on Aion. Oh snap!

I'm fairly sure I won't be able to see anything tomorrow, but let's cross our fingers.
