PC.IGN gets things rollin' with some impressions on ArenaNet's Guild Wars expansion, Factions. With a final score of 8.5/10, this one sounds like a keeper! Anyways, here's a snippet on the new assassin class:

An assassin will also have access to preparation abilities which themselves complement one another; Critical Eye gives you an increased chance for a critical hit, and Way of Perfection gives health back to you when you get a crit. But Shadow Refuge gives you massive health regeneration. Oh, and Dark Escape looks good too. Yet I'm still a monk, so I need to throw some proper healing in there. And I also want to be able to remove hexes… You get the idea. It can be agonizing, but it's an interesting challenge. What is perhaps more agonizing is buying skills in PvP, because they're relatively expensive (in terms of player time investment to gain the faction points), and you can't sell them back or anything if you find that they don't mesh well with your play style.
