We've travelled across its sandy dunes, entered its creepy pyramid interiors, fought its bosses and returned with all the sexy loot we could carry.Or three times.The similarities between the two Land of the Deads don't stop at their titles, either. Warhammer's Land of the Dead is full of the kind of horrible, nightmarish monsters (yes, there are plenty of zombies) that you'd expect from a Romero movie. And maybe a little more.Land of the Dead is a huge desert area to the south that looks like a cross between Stargate and The Mummy. It's full of imposing pyramids, evil skeletons (there will be A LOT of Tome of Knowledge skeleton unlocks), monstrous mummies, giant stone statues and sand dunes that swirl as far as the eye can see. It's even got its own city, The Necropolis of Zandri. It's a beautiful place to gawp at, and is easily one of the better-looking MMO areas ever conceived (the approach to the Library of Zandri is jaw-dropping).

18 new Public Quests (perhaps WAR's most innovative feature) have been dreamed up by the guys and girls at Mythic for players to sink their swords into. Before you get to see it for yourself, however, there's work to be done. For one, you'll have to be at least level 25 (Mythic recommends that you don't try until you're at least rank 30). The Land of the Dead is only accessible via Airships and Zeppelins, and only by one faction at any one time. To gain access you need to fill a resource meter by controlling Tier 4 zones and killing players in open RvR. Once done, your ride is fuelled and it's off you go time.Four of these are considered easy by the game and 14 require a full group to complete. As in the main game proper, the first stages of all the new PQs are doable with small groups. One of the best things about WAR is how small groups of players start on a PQ, then as they near stage two or stage three, more players join in until, hopefully, the group has snowballed into one big enough to kill the end boss. Mythic anticipates the same will be true of Land of the Dead PQs.Graphically, it's hugely impressive.
