We've seen different play styles in Heroes of the Storm. One of the most popular is ARAM (All Random, all mid) where players in Custom Lobbies just ignore map objectives and fight in the middle of the map.
When the Virtual Reality gaming topic first emerged, I had a few thoughts about the dangers that it could bring. The most obvious one was that if you have a device that completely covers your eyes, preventing you from being aware of your environment, wouldn't that be quite dangerous physically?
2003 was a simpler time; no matter where you were on the world, it was still uncommon a lot of people to have an internet connection, much less a decent personal computer. I was one of those people

Marin from Link's Awakening is joining the cast of Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo announced this evening during the company'sHyrule Warriors Legends panel at WonderCon in Los Angeles.
The red-haired singer will debut as part of theLink's Awakening-themed DLC pack that is scheduled to release sometime this summer for both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game.
It seems like every Japanese role-playing game under the sun is coming out this summer, and Sega's 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is no different. The Nintendo 3DS-exclusive dungeon crawler is coming to the Americas on July 12, Sega announced (it seems accidentally) earlier this week.
Sega released the title in Japan last October, but has yet to announce any plans to bring it to Europe.
7th Dragon III Code: VFD takes place in an apocalyptic near-future where dragons have taken over the planet and the world's only hope are a group of time-travelling video game employees.
I was a few minutes late for my appointment with Lorne Lanning, twisted father of the Oddworld series. My last appointment had run long, so I made my way to the same hotel where I saw Starr Mazer DSP, embarrassed that I had kept him waiting. When I finally approached him, glazed in the awkward sweat that comes with rushing somewhere, he greeted me with a sly grin and the words "Thank you for your Mudokon voices, Zack! Good to meet you." I hadn't realized that my PR contact had told Lorne that I contributed my voice to Oddworld: New 'n' Tastywhen Just Add Water offered fans a chance to play a Mudokon. This disarmed me slightly, but I could tell my tardiness wasn't anything to worry about.
"Can you do a Glukkon voice? Let me hear it," he requested. I told him I probably could but would need to practice. It also wouldn't be ethical for me to review the next game, Oddworld: Soulstorm (a remake of Abe's Exoddus), if I was going to be providing a voice. "We'll figure that out later!" he said, with a wave of his hand.
Since we hadn't started the interview proper, I took the time to tell him about a way his games had impacted me as a child. When I was about seven or eight, I was playing the original Oddworld when my mother received a phone call relaying news of my great grandmother's death. At the time, I hadn't known the subject of the call, but saw that my mother was openly weeping. To cheer her up, I pointed at the game, saying "Look mom! I can make Abe fart!" and made it happen over and over. My childish brain thought that no one could cry when seeing the magic of a fart occur, but my attempts fell flat. As I, now a 25-year-old person, regaled this tale to Lorne, he laughed throughout but said it made him feel old.
In need of something to new play on the commode? Square Enix Montréal has you covered. The studio is offering deep discounts its mobile catalogue this weekend on the iOS App Store and Google Play, dropping Lara Croft GO and Hitman: Sniper's asking prices to $1, while Hitman GO, um, goes for $2.
Reactions to Fallout 4's first piece of DLC, Automatron, have been mixed. Jordan was cool on the experience, enjoying some of the new locations, but was disappointed by a fairly short run time and that the DLC only seemed to account for characters specifically specced towards it. Personally, as a big fan of clunky '50s robots, and with a workbench stocked to the rafters with glue, fiber optics, and steel just waiting to be turned into an army of loyal kill-bots, I loved it.
I have a feeling I would loved it more if I'd been wearing my Silver Shroud costume though.
To go hand in hand with the pulp vibe of the DLC, players who confront the Mechanist wearing the Shroud's trench coat and scarf are treated to special dialog responses and options. It's silly, dumb, and exactly the kind of thing I love about the series. Fallout is at it's best when it can make you laugh at the post-apocalypse.
You can watch the standoff between the two hammy, pretend comic book characters in the video above thanks to FluffyNinjaLlama (spoiler warnings obviously in effect).
Uppers, the latest PlayStation Vita brawler from Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki, appears to have a new release date. According to a (now removed) listing from Japanese retailer Rakuten Books, the action game is coming to Japan on July 14.
Marvelous initially planned to release the title on April 21, but announced plans last month to delay its launch date for an indefinite period of time due to discouraging pre-order numbers.
Thus far, the publisher has not confirmed a localization for western audiences.
Blizzard just posted a Spotlight video for Dehaka, who is set to arrive in Heroes of the Storm next week.
You'll get a brief rundown on Dehaka's Zerg background, as well as a full explanation of his abilities. In short, his passive is all about collecting essences (kind of like Butcher's fresh meat) to trigger healing. He can also travel to any bush or vent every 45 seconds, drag heroes, queue up an AOE (that lets him phase through enemies), and burrow, which causes him to become untargetable for a few seconds.
I can see burrowing right at the perfect moment to cancel Nova's triple-tap, and so on. I don't know how he won't be formidable in the right hands, but we'll see how tuned his powers are next week once he hits the meta (you can also try him now in PTR). Like Diablo, I see a high success rate though given his survivability and peeling potential with drag.
I embraced the aphorism "don't judge a book by its cover" as a child. After squandering the contents of my piggy bank on a dreadful fantasy novel that endeared itself to me with some captivating artwork, only to disappoint, I learned to be wary of basing my purchasing decisions off pretty pictures.
It's probably equally unwise to take a shine to a game after seeing a reel of panning anime stills accompanied by felicitous music, but I don't care. Chase: Unsolved Cases Investigation Division seems to scratch the same itch as Nintendo DS adventure game Hotel Dusk: Room 215 once did -- and with good reason. It has a similar pedigree, coming from the same director, Taisuke Kanasaki, and former Cing staffers. Here's hoping those guys can match their previous work beyond the familiar art direction.
I suppose we'll find out sometime after the 3DS title debuts on the Japanese eShop this spring.

A new post from the Daum team has shown up on the Black Desert Online forum to inform players that the gifting option from the Cash Shop has been shut down. According to the post, this was done "due to abuse and credit card fraud by third parties (gold sellers and others)". The post further indicates that those who have been flagged as taking part will be 'sanctioned accordingly'.
ArenaNet's Mike O'Brien has taken to the Guild Wars 2 forums to let players know that further development of new legendary weapons will be put on hold indefinitely after the Spring 2016 update. According to O'Brien, the trade is to continue to 'create a living, dynamic world' and that this piece of the 2010 vision for the game is what will take precedence over the creation of new legendaries.
TopWare Interactive and Reality Pump Studios have announced a pair of pretty interesting new items. In the first, developers revealed a 36-month plan to develop an entirely new game, Two Worlds 3. More announcements on that front will be coming soon.

The Division has been compared to Destiny since long before it launched. Now that both games are in the wild, our RPG columnist has gotten his hands on both and has rendered his initial verdict. It might change once, but for now, find out why he think The Division is clearly better than Destiny.
Razor Edge Games has revealed the sixth playable faction from Epocylipse: The AfterFall. Called "The Patriots" are a militaristic group that is "all business" and one that avoids frivolity of any sort. Those who prefer a regimented faction, The Patriots might be just the right thing.
