World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Preview

The guys at ComputerAndVideoGames.com have conjured up their own hands-on preview of Blizzard's World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack.
A small yet nice touch is a quest linked specifically to the Blood Elf racial abilities Mana Tap and Arcane Torrent, the quest acting as a simple introduction to the spells. Mana Tap (cooldown 30 seconds) drains mana from targets and additionally charges a character with Arcane Energy for ten minutes. It can be stacked up to three times. Arcane Torrent (cooldown two minutes) meanwhile, silences all enemies within eight yards of the player for two seconds and additionally - for Rogues - unleashes the stored Arcane Energy and converts it to Energy - you get ten Energy points per Mana Tap charge affecting you.
