World of Warcraft – Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Les Major

I’ll get more into that later. Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War is a defining moment in the lore Warcraft fans have come to know and love. After the Cataclysm had drawn so many together in a noble cause to save their world, that time has no passed and the world again is changing. Instead of having the factions of Azeroth venture to Pandaria in Blizzard’s latest expansion, they are

It took me over 24 hours to get through the story, and I still have side objectives around the city to complete. Undercover focuses on Chase McCain, a police officer just returning to Lego City after years away.
