...Guild Wars?

I saw it in the shop today, Guild Wars: Factions.

I was wondering if anyone here has it and thinks i should get it, or if there is something better out there?

Also is the "Factions" the first one or is it an add-on? And do i need any previous one to play it?

Thanks for the advice/help. 

It's OK, not the best game I've ever played on. I've never played on Factions though - it's an add-on I believe which needs the first one, but I'm not sure...

One of the best things I remember from it, is you can draw on the mini-map and it shows up on all your teammates maps aswell

WoW looks like a better online game though I've never played on it
Oblivion is the best ever though

Hmmm okay i might consider Oblivion then, is the elder scrolls version an add-on?

I don't like WoW because you have to pay monthly and so on.

It should say that on the box if you need a prior version...

Good point. Thats a bonus of getting Guild Wars, you just pay once.

On the Guild Wars website FAQ:

Guild Wars Factions is a stand-alone product. Those who own Guild Wars are not required to purchase Guild Wars Factions in order to continue playing on their game account, and those who purchase Guild Wars Factions may play without purchasing Guild Wars. However, there is a strong level of interconnection between the two games that makes having them both an exceptional experience.

Oh, I forgot to mention:
If you know someone who has got Guild Wars already, then you can borrow the game CD of them and install it. Then you can set up an account cheaper than it would be to buy the game, this can save you some money
Or, to log-in for free, each account can have 3 or 4 different characters so you and a friend can share the account and have different characters to play with.

Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I haven't played on it for a bit

It didn't But it looks like i can play it without it.

Thanks jimcando, maybe i will see if anyone has it, but i don't think i know anyone that does.

And about Oblivion i got it the wrong way around, do you have to have any of the previous elderscrolls games to play oblivion?

No it's a standalone game.

Ah, good. I will buy that then probably.

Just so you know, you need a top-of-the-range computer to play it well
And if you dont have an awesome computer, then there's a mod called Oldblivion that works wonders
