GameSpy starts things off with some hands-on impressions of Mythic Entertainment's upcoming massively multiplayer online RPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Here's a little something to chew on:

The Warhammer universe's distinguishing characteristics are its mind-numbing violence and its tongue-in-cheek humor. My little adventure with my new Orc character Blovious, a wannabe member of the Broken Sunz clan, showed that both are intact in Warhammer Online. I started out my life with the clan by reporting to the Boss, the strongest Orc in the vicinity. This particular Orc gave me my first quest. I needed to head down to the site of a recent battle and kill a number of vultures feasting on the corpses of dead Dwarves. This bothered the Boss because he couldn't abide anyone else messing with his trophies. Plus he might have had a hankering for Dwarven flesh. Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins) aren't the most discriminating diners. When no food's around, they'll happily eat each other.
