Guild Wars Nightfall Preview

Boomtown has put together a short preview of Guild Wars Nightfall, based on some firsthand time they spent with ArenaNet's upcoming MMORPG add-on.
The action still works, however, as does the new idea of having "Heroes" join your team. Essentially, these are beefed-up henchmen that you can issue general commands to, but you can also assume direct control of them, have them rise in levels and equip items for them. No more dying during tough missions because of underpowered henchmen. You may also join forces with a friend and his/her team of heroes, enabling you to take on all of the missions in the game with a fair chance of seeing them through. And if PvP is your thing, and you cannot find enouch good players for your team, just bring your heroes into the arenas. This alone does seem to merit the price tag for the game. There's tons of new content in there as well - like the chapters before it, Nightfall is massive.
