The Guru's Game of the Week!

This week's game of the week is: World of Tanks!

Let's talk about tanks! World of Tanks is always online MMO-tank simulator that pits you against others in the tanks that battled across the world during World War II. This game is an easy time-sink, always having you hitting the battle button to see who else you can turn into a smoldering wreck after you lob a perfectly placed shot through their gas tank. The physics and attention to detail in this game are top notch, with gravity working the way you think it would - and the guns reacting the way they have historically have in the past. The sounds on this game really show the attention to detail that the development team has put into making it as realistic as possible - as I have more than a few times, almost fallen out of my chair when I've gotten pinged out of nowhere by a good shot, resulting in a nice realistic thump or explosion. Though it's not completely perfect, its somewhat of a grind to get to higher tiers (prompting you to want to pay for a premium membership or drop some money on gold to afford better gear or the premium tanks) and the German tanks feel a bit less beefy than they should at lower tiers (but boy do they make up for it later!) but these are just small things in the large picture of this very, fun and addicting game. A must play for war-buffs. This Guru gives World of Tanks a 5/5!
