Ok, we all know good Trek games are as rare as a squeamish Klingon, but Cryptic might just be on to something here. Not to say it’s “good” by industry standards, but it does break the mold a bit and has a lot more potential than, say, Star Trek: Legacy.

Kenneth Ellis appears to have transwarped his STO preview to the boards before me, but even Bones McCoy occasionally needed to get a second opinion. Damn it, man! I’m a reviewer, not a blogger! Number one, lay in a course for some lame joke about “boldly going where no MMO has gone before.” Engage.

Yes, I know Kenneth already reviewed DFO. But guess what? You’re getting a second opinion, and goddammit, you’re gonna sit there and like it! Also, eat your vegetables. Now, while I will be coming to Kenneth’s super cool Cool Person party (invited or not!), my opinion on the game differs somewhat.

Remember when Lord of the Rings won MMO of the Year in 2008? Okay, I vaguely do, but Turbine has announced an expansion, which only ramps up the awesomeness value. While it seems the expansion isn’t free like initially thought, Siege of Mirkwood looks like it’s going to deliver quite nicely. Let’s go over some of the new features, shall we?
