Joy Factor:

Something stirs in the darkness. A hot earthy smell wafts up from the dank depths. Nails scratch against limestone, dripping water echoes off cavern walls, ancient chains rattle in stagnant air…. What lies in the eerie depths below? Dungeon Runners is an online role-playing game that’s free to download and free to play! As a brave hero, you’ll explore dangerous dungeons, battle ferocious monsters and discover incredible weapons, artifacts and loot. Choose to play as Fighter, Mage or Ranger in a realm of terror, magic and adventure. Unlock powerful new skills as you gain experience on your journey into the unknown. Whether fighting evil hordes as a lone warrior or teaming up with online friends to carve a path of destruction through your foe, Dungeon Runners will quench your deepest dungeon-crawling thirst. In case you didn't know, Dungeon Runners is a 3D action MMORPG provided by NCsoft (the game publisher of the popular game called Guild Wars).

Progress in power as you gain levels and acquire new treasures. Some dungeons can be completed quickly, rewarding those who can only invest 15 minutes a play session. Greater dungeons, however, will provide a deep, rich, questing experience for those who want to go on longer runs or multi-part quests. Easy to control with either ‘WASD’ or point and click combat and movement. Adventure alone or join with online friends to form your own band of heroes. Undertake quests to rid the world of unspeakable horrors and legions of enemies. Gather in the public area of Townston, and then quickly hop into a new adventure in your very own instanced dungeon. Become a legend. Bask in the limelight as your powers, equipment, and influence grow with each successful quest and every fallen foe. Game content will continually grow: new maps, monsters, powers, and much, much more! Literally thousands of magic weapons, items, and armor to discover! Dungeon Runners will always be free to download and play, however, choose to become a member and you’ll have access to the most powerful in-game items and a growing list of members-only privileges.

Editor's Pros/Cons:
Pros: It's free with the option to pay to get extra benefits and if you do want to be a member its dirt cheap only $4.99 a month, randomly generated dungeons, awesome looking raids, cool World of Warcraft type character design, growing community.

Cons: This game is not yet ready for the entire world to access. Currently, the only way to play this game is to be referred by another player and to have a PlayNC master account which can be created free. Hopefully this will change soon.
