At this year's E3, RealTime Worlds' action MMO All Points Bulletin was one of the most promising contenders. Designed by crime game expert, David Jones of Grand Theft Auto fame, it presented us with an action-heavy, stripped down take on the MMORPG, set in a violence-ridden city where players pick sides in a battle between self-appointed law enforcement and common criminals. I played it then briefly, and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, having spent the last month with the game I've found APB is a little like tequila. One shot is good-- more than that'll make you sick.
OK, maybe that's harsh. APB does have some good things going for it. For one thing, apb gold it has one of the most comprehensive character customization setups you'll ever see. The game features three districts and in the non-PvP Social District, you can customize 'till the cows come home. Surprisingly complex editors allow you to change your hair, body, weapons and clothing, customize your ride and create a custom musical theme that plays whenever you kill another player (you can use presets or make your own—it's admittedly pretty hilarious to get killed and then hear the Terminator theme). You can also create your own custom symbols—logos if you will—that can be used in game on cars and clothes and can even be sold to other players. As a result of all these options, you'll see some amazingly cool and brilliantly whacked-out characters running around in game.
