Blue Öyster Cult Singer: Adults Can Play Wizard101
Eric Bloom may not be a kid, but he enjoys the family friendly Wizard101. The Blue Öyster Cult vocalist and longtime gamer has written an article for Massive Online Gamer explaining why adults can enjoy the magical game, and it all boils down to two words: "It's fun." While Bloom admits the game is targeted toward children, he says "it's sophisticated enough for adults, sort of MMO-Light. ... Technically, it loads very quickly, entrance between areas load almost instantly, a pleasure compared to more modern MMOs. You don't need a high-end computer to play."
Bloom says he's trying to get his other gaming friends to try out Wizard101, especially so they can play with their children. If you're not familiar with the singer's gaming history, he recently joined members of the Warhammer Online crew to record "Kiss My Axe (While I Drink My Beer)!" and we talked with him back in November 2007 about World of Warcraft, EverQuest II and Star Wars Galaxies.
