Everyone by know should be thinking: "What a freakin' game is Blood & SOuld, huh? Oh gosh it is made with Unreal Engine 3!!! It sould be damn good!", that for sure will put one of our beloved game, AION: The Tower of Eternity in such a "fame crisis", although they're both from ncSoft, it'll be hard to pick both of them at once, gladly, they won't get released at the same time, and people could enjoy the 2 games when the time allows, but, let's take a look at some aspects of these wonderful games.

AION: The Tower of Eternity

AION was said to be the MMORPG with the most wonderful graphics ever done, but looks like ncSoft turned its own table, since Blood and Soul's graphics could be equalized to AION's graphics. AION has its Air Combat, which makes this game really unique(especially the PvP), you can attack your foes in the air from different angles at the same time that you can fly freely to avoid the attacks. The differences between the two Factions in the game only make things better, Elyos and Asmodian fight with each other for the world's supremacy, what will lead to warriors between Factions as well as some adrenaline to the storyline. Crafting system looks amazing in this game, since you can customize your weapons and armor and use it on yourchar or just sell it for the price the equipment deserves. The gameplay looks very good too, the combo attacks and the skills are worth the game, but let's hope for a "Not grinding" game like some other MMORPGs that makes us bored in a couple of days. AION looks to be a game that is focused on social interaction too, in the trailers you can see the players eating together and having fun, let's hope for some features that could apoximata evem more the players than just the Guild system, community is very very essential to a MMOPRG and everyone knows that. So, astonishing graphics are not only the strong point of this game, check out for AION's OB which is scheduled to begins in Q4 2008 in Korea.

Blood & Soul

 Blood & Soul is one of the newest games presented by ncSoft and it is in Development in Korea, so... What makes this games so special and awesome so far? "AWESOME GRAPHICS!" is probably the first thing that youwill hear, but... "Does graphics matter", personally, of course it matters, but it is graphics that makes a game Good or Bad? Well then, let's take a look on the possible nice features in Blood and Soul.
This game is a "Martial Arts inspired" MMORPG, so you can look foward to a great battle and PvP system, the characters' design were made by the same guy who created Magna Carta Art, so you can expect a unique Char design and a beautiful Japanese(Or Korean? Maybe chinese.. oh well...) style. Like 85% of the game's trailer features combat scenes, what amkes me think "Oh no... Combat Based + Full action MMORPG + Martial Arts = Grinding grinding grinding!11111!!!" lol
But I REALLY hope that ncSoft won't make such a mistake and will give us one of the Best MMORPGs that you can find out there. One thing that cought my eyes were the Fighting and Sword skills, they are sodamn incredible, I'm in love with those multi-sword-magic-based attack, but the Hand Fighting skills aren't less wonderful, in the trailer you can see a huge variety of combos and atacks, at some points it makes me wonder if this is really going to be a MMORPG, hahaha. The "Walk in the walls" looks damn amazing and it reminds me of Prince of Persia, but this is much better, you can walk in a great velocity, no only in the walls, but in the ground too, that is really amazing (for me >.<""). Some of the social features could be seen in the trailer, but not much, neither the craft system of PvP system, so this game will for sure give us some pleasant surprises in the future.

I personally don't think that AION & Blood & Soul can be compared, of course youcan say "Aion is better" or "Blood and Soul is better", but the 2 of them have their own aspects, and they're kinda totally different games, one is a Full Fantasy Based MMORPG, and other is a Historical Fantasy Based MMORPG that aparently is focus on combat.
