Read the past article about Zu Online.

Fans of fighting games can now play a MMORPG called Zu.

Zu, is a Chinese Kung-fu game that will start Open Beta at 8:00PM EST (GMT -5) on Dec. 14, 2007.

IGG (Internet Gaming Gate) is the portal site with many different types of games available for play.

From the screen shots so far, it looks to be an interesting game.

The art seems to be cell based and the game developers seemed to have thought out the design of the game with the artists to make it as unique looking as possible.

I look forward to seeing more games available on IGG.

Some of the games on IGG are:

• Tales of Pirates - (It seems a lot of Pirate based MMORPG are being developed lately. Sony has just launched their Pirate based game.)
• Zu Online
• Angels Online
• Myth War
• Voyage Century
• Gods War
• Wonderland

To check them out, go to IGG.

For those that might not know what Aion: The Tower of Eternity is, be prepared to be drooling.

This is the latest trailer from the G-star 2007 gaming exhibition in Korea.

Another Aion trailer from G-Star.

The Korean software company, NCsoft, known for their top notch MMORPG games is bringing one of the most anticipated games to the masses real soon.

The closed beta testing in the states will begin early 2008 and will be released later in the year.

The new and mysterious Spiritmaster is a wonderful addition to the game. The Spiritmaster’s ability to summon and control elemental spirits of Earth, Wind, Fire, & Water is very powerful and necessary to win battles against your foes.

The Earth spirits are strong in defense abilities.

The Fire spirit in ranged attacks.

The Water spirit for healing.

The Wind spirits for melee attacks.

You cannot control different elemental spirits at the same time.

For those that have read all the way to the bottom, here’s a treat, dancing Aion characters.
