League of Legends: RTSGuru.com | Why Dominion Works So Well
Jan 31st
In a new feature at RTSGuru.com, Kassandra Khaw takes a look at League of Legends: Dominion and why she thinks it's a fine addition to the game.
As we work towards the more complex reasons behind Dominion's success, I'm going to reiterate on a previous point. MOBAs really aren't the sort of thing you can switch around. Not without considerable forethought and no small amount of luck. If you want the MOBA crowd to be enthused about you're offering, you're going to have to give them what you want. And Dominion, against all odds, does exactly that.

Exclusive Review of Jagged Alliance Online
Jan 31st
Jagged Alliance Online is a new tactical browser game published by Gamigo. We had the opportunity to try it in Closed Beta, to tell you whats about exactly this new title.
Jagged Alliance Online offers to all his players a strong tactic component. The combat system is turn-based and the game put the player inside a crude world full of mercenaries. The gamer can choose some of the best mercenaries around and with them try to complete a lot of PvE missions.
These missions will give him items, in-game rewards and money that can be used to buy a lot of upgrades for the structures in the main base and ammos for his mercenaries. Every mercenary has his main favourite weapon and his gameplay style. The player needs to choose wisely which mercenary bring to complete the quests!
The combat system, as we said, is turn-based and the player need to worry about the number of ammos his mercenary will use and about his health. The gamer will have also a little base with different buildings, such as the hospital and the armory.
Jagged Alliance Online offers a good mix of PvE and PvP. The player can partecipate to various PvE and PvP More >

Barbily is going to release tomorrow a new expansion for Star Supremacy, named War Version. In addition to celebrate the launch of this expansion, Barbily is releasing an Alliance Recruiting event.
War Version comes with two new gameplay modes:

Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Endgame Grind: PvE vs. PvP
Jan 30th
While many of us would like to see MMO developers try something different when it comes to the endgame, we're all familiar with 'the grind' by now. But does Star Wars: The Old Republic offer worthwhile progression in both PvE and PvP? Or is one area stronger than the other? Read on for our thoughts!
It’s hard to think about an MMO that doesn’t present you with some form or another of grind once you reach the game’s level cap (and often before!). Star Wars: The Old Republic is no different in that upon hitting cap you won’t be surprised by the activities available to you. There is an assortment of daily and weekly quests associated with both PvE and PvP content, and you’ll want to complete them (and the relevant content) to continue to progress your character. I’ve accepted the endgame grind at this point, but the disparity between enjoyment of PvP and PvE in the game is a large one.
