Well, Halo Reach has been around for a few days now and I’ve had the opportunity, along with pretty much everyone that purchased and kept their copy of ODST to play the Beta. What do I think of it thus far? Read more…
Some of you out here reading this might have played a custom map in Warcraft III called DotA that has been around since 2003. Some might have played that intensively. Well it seems some loved the custom map so much that it warranted a standalone game to be made around its concept. Heck, it seems like three games were made from that concept. The released Demigod, the upcoming Heroes of Newerth and the title I’m here to talk about today, Leagues of Legends: Clash of Fates.
I was aware for a while, hearing some co-worker talk about it, that Dota existed as a custom WCIII map, but I never really knew what it was all about, and since I don’t own a copy of WCIII, I never went around and try it. So when I applied to try out the Beta, I mentioned that I was a complete noob to the concept, but was looking forward to learn what was all the hype about. So is this concept of a game good or over-rated like a lot of hyped stuff? Find out in this LoL preview after the jump.
I had high hopes for this game when it was first announced a few years ago. One of these reasons was that idea that they, seem to be at the least, inspired by Aldous Huxley and Brave New World. Another reason for these hopes was my admiration for the game Planetside, a MMOFPSRPG that was the first of its kind, which has been the only MMO to ever grab my attention for more than the trial period. I had very little about this game and, sadly, figured that with the tag of a MMOFPS that it would be similar to Planetside. Well…It wasn’t anything like it.
Well, anyone who bought inFAMOUS got access to the Uncharted 2 beta. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people bought inFAMOUS just for the beta code.
So after playing quite a few matches, I think I can talk about it a bit.
Read on then!
