2 Great Sites For League Of Legends Statistics & Analysis
I've made it a point to highlight League of Legends pretty narrowly in many of my recent posts related to gaming. The game is absolutely huge and it's only going to continue growing larger. In just days, Riot will be hosting an LCS All-Star event that is expected to receive stream viewers up into the millions. The new season's competitive structure allows any individual player or team to have a realistic shot at competing with the very best.
5 Websites For All The Latest Happenings In Dota 2 [MUO Gaming]
Dota 2 is a huge game right now, and while it may not be as popular as League of Legends, it is hot on its heels with an ever rising player base. As a whole, the MOBA genre is growing by leaps and bounds every single day, with new players discovering it and deciding to take the time to learn what these games bring to the table. With all of that being said, Dota 2 and League of Legends are hard games to learn.
3 Great Sites To Find League Of Legends Builds & Guides
As an avid League of Legends player for the past year, I'd be a complete liar to say I haven't learned my fair share about the game purely from copying the strategies of others. That's fine though, because the League of Legends community seems incredibly generous in sharing their builds and other ideas. The nature of eSports, with all the streaming and tournaments, practically embraces this copycat play style.
Star Conflict Free-To-Play: A Multiplayer Space Sim Game You Can Go To Combat With
Free-to-play games have served most genres well. Role-playing, strategy, and first-person shooters are represented by numerous offerings that don’t cost a dime. But what about space shooters? All of the genre’s best titles are paid. Most don’t even offer multiplayer or, if they do, the community has been dead for years. There is a new kid on the block, however. His name is Star Conflict
Build Your Own MMO Dungeon In Neverwinter
Ten years ago Bioware released a game called Neverwinter Nights. Though disappointing as a single-player RPG, the campaign wasn't really the point. Instead, the game focused on user-generated multiplayer content built with the amazingly powerful Aurora toolset. Players eventually used the game and its sequel, Neverwinter Nights 2, to build sprawling co-op campaigns and miniature MMOs. Now, a new Neverwinter title has been released by Cryptic
5 Minecraft How-To Tips To Start Crafting Like A Pro
Minecraft has steadily gained popularity with no signs that the trend will change anytime soon. I’m a big fan of the game and I have plenty of friends who play it or would like to get a copy for themselves. But let’s say that you liked the game so much, you bought your own copy. Of course you can now play a round of survival, but that’s too basic. What other cool stuff can you do with Minecraft, and what essentials do you need to know?
4 League Of Legends Streams To Make You A Better Player
The great thing about online gaming is that there are no restrictions. If you learn the game and you own a computer, you have just as good of a shot as anyone at becoming a professional. You don't need to know the right people. You don't need some sort of scholarship or anything like that. You play, improve, get noticed, and essentially make a job out of entertaining others while playing this game.
Getting Started With The Lord Of The Rings Online
Turbine’s take on Middle Earth has been live for almost 6 years now and, despite the appearance of numerous other titles, remains one of the most popular western MMOs. It’s also one of the easiest to access thanks to its free-to-play business model. You still need to have a handle on the game’s basics, however, and the complexities of the pay store can be confusing. Here’s what you must know to get started.
Critical Strike Portable Brings First Person Shooter Mayhem To Your Tablet [MUO Gaming]
While not specifically marketed for tablets, let's face it - to fully experience any FPS game, you really need the larger screen of a tablet. You can purchase from a long list of great first person shooters for an Android Tablet, but if you're looking for the affordable option - aka free - Critical Strike is the way to go. The quality of the game jumps right out at the main window when you launch the game.
osu! - The Most Fun & Complete Rhythm Game You'll Find [MUO Gaming]
Looking back over this game today, I can't imagine what would have initially attracted me to osu!, because I've always been terrible with mouse-heavy games and I've never been a fan of J-pop or K-pop. That being said, I've somehow been addicted to this game since the first time I played it. If you've played Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, or any other game in that genre, you know that it feels completely different from any other gaming experience.
Experience A Wild West Shootout Up Close And Personal In Smokin Guns [MUO Gaming]
Smokin' Guns isn't like the usual military-style shooting games like Call of Duty or Metal of Honor. It also isn't like the surreal, monster-filled Doom-esque games that fill the gamestore shelves. No - this game is all about a gunfighter and his gun. Just trying to survive in a crazy, wild place where everyone else also has a gun with a bullet that has your name on it.
Bombermine – A Must-Play Bomberman MMO [MUO Gaming]
The best video games are often those with simple ideas at their core. Tetris is a perfect example - it's simply piling odd-shaped blocks together in order to form a solid wall, and yet it's highly addictive, even if you're only playing the unofficial online clones of Tetris. Then there is Angry Birds, which is addictive for many reasons. Even Call Of Duty is simple in the sense that you shoot the bad guys, and that sells like the proverbial hotcakes.
5 Reasons Call Of Duty Players Should Give Halo 4 A Shot [MUO Gaming]
I will readily admit that I am a Halo hater. I've played almost every entry in the franchise (except Reach, I heard mostly negative things from my hardcore Halo playing friends). I reached a point where I decided that the Halo franchise just was not for me. If, like me, you've given up on the Halo franchise, Halo 4 is the game you should give another chance, and here are the reasons.
Path Of Exile Is A Free & Addictive Alternative To Diablo III [MUO Gaming]
Despite breaking the single-day record for sales of a PC game, at 3.5 million, I feel as if Diablo III has turned out to be a bit of a flop. The game had a rocky start with a release that was riddled with crashes, and a huge base of players have severe gripes about the game's difficulty and gameplay in general. Luckily for me, Path of Exile has just come out of closed beta and is available for anyone to play.
Bloodline Champions: Free-to-Play Skill-Based PvP Arena For Competitive Players [MUO Gaming]
Bloodline Champions (BLC) is a top-down F2P game with high hopes: to create a game where players can play against each other in an arena that rewards skill, not repetition or luck. If you’ve ever heard of the term “e-sports,” this game is a prime candidate. It’s all about aiming, timing, reacting, and making the right decisions - and it’s HARD. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, though, as a game that rewards skill wouldn’t be very rewarding if it was easy.
Naval Warfare Multi-Shot for iOS is Battleships for The Mobile Generation
Naval Warfare Multi-Shot is reminiscent of the classic game of Battleships, except with a few twists to the gameplay to make it more palatable for the mobile generation. The game has been developed by a small development team of two people for the iOS platform, which means it's a truly independent production. To commemorate the launch of Naval Warfare Multi-Shot, the developers of the game are giving away a 64GB iPad for you to enjoy it on! Find out more about the game and how you can be in the running to win the free iPad!
A Latecomer’s Introduction To Minecraft [MUO Gaming]
Minecraft, the block-based sensation that took gaming by storm, is now well over three years old. It’s almost hard to believe it’s been that long since the first alpha was posted – and it’s equally hard to believe how far the game has come. The small indie title has spawned a successful company has transformed from a simple block-based building tool into a game with multiple modes that works on multiple platforms.
5 Ways In Which Xbox Live Has Changed Gaming – For Better Or Worse [Opinion]
It's difficult to remember a time when games consoles didn't connect to the Internet. I'm now so used to online features being an integral part of the gaming experience, that it's easy to forget that this wasn't the case just a decade ago. A decade is how long Xbox Live has been with us, with Microsoft launching the service in 2002. At that stage in time PC gamers had been playing online for many years, and the Xbox wasn't even the first console to feature Internet connectivity.
2 Third-Party Applications That May Change The Way You Play League Of Legends [MUO Gaming]
If you haven't heard of League of Legends, why not? Recently, it was crowned the most popular game online (based on usage statistics) and more than eight million people tuned in to watch their Season 2 World Championship.
