Planetside

Forget hiking up to the woods for a rain-drenched, cattle-scattering game of paintball. Just hook yourself into PlanetSide for a measly $12.95 per month fee and you can feast on round-the-clock galactic virtual warfare with hundreds of faceless gamers worldwide. Join the red, blue, or purple faction, each boasting special weapons and vehicles (and fashionably coordinated accessories, naturally). The goal’s a bit complex: You and your teammates must conquer the planet by blowing up a bunch of shit. But leave the tactical stuff to the brainiacs—just enjoy it as an impressive first-person shooter featuring grenade and rocket launchers, tanks, and airships. Load up on armor and assorted performance-enhancing implants (sorry, no length and girth upgrades available) and get out there, soldier. You wanna live forever?
