All right, now that the inflammatory title that makes you look at my column is out of the way, let's get down to business. This week we got to see a 30-second teaser trailer from the folks at NCsoft about <em><a href="http://games.plaync.co.kr/bladeandsoul/">Blade &amp; Soul</a></em>, a game from NCsoft that has been stealthing in the background, waiting for the right time to strike and jump in front of <a href="http://www.aiononline.com"><em>Aion</em></a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/blade-and-soul"><em>Blade &amp; Soul</em></a> isn't a brand new game though. In fact, the game's artwork has already made <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/24/massively-multiplayer-online-boobs/">a guest a</a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/24/massively-multiplayer-online-boobs/">ppearance</a> on our website. (With subsequent comments on how that woman's back is going to break in half if she should walk forward.) Plus, if you really want to see what the game has to offer, a quick YouTube search will bring you to the<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtA1jSreK84&amp;feature=related"><span style="font-style: italic;">Blade &amp; Soul</span> HD gameplay video</a> which looks, well, simply stunning.<br />
<br />
So why am I dedicating my opinion column to a game that's nowhere close to being released? Well, because I think it has potential, and because it's <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my</span> opinion column. So come along after the break, and let's look at <span style="font-style: italic;">Blade &amp; Soul</span>.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/20/anti-aliased-blade-and-soul-aion/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Anti-Aliased: Blade &amp; Soul > Aion</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/20/anti-aliased-blade-and-soul-aion/">Anti-Aliased: Blade &amp; Soul > Aion</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST.
