League of Legends, New game mode, DOMINION!

League of Legends' new gameplay mode has launched! Dominion is based on controlling points on the map, rather than just reaching and destroying your enemy's nexus. It still has nexuses, but yours is only weakened only when your enemy controls more points than you, rather than when it is attacked.

This new gameplay mode is much faster paced and can last anywhere from seven minutes (my shortest game of it so far - I won!) up to the regular time a DOTA game takes (around 20-40 minutes). I absolutely love this game mode and I think that it just added a huge layer onto the game!

One of the coolest things about this mode is that you can still use the regular champions you can use in the other mode. I can use my favorite character in both modes! :D

L.A. Noire, Tech Trailer - Facial Motion Capture

Facial Motion Capturing is a very new technology that I thought we'd only be seeing in movies for the next 30 years... however, Rockstar has already incorporated it into a video game! L.A. Noire is going to have the most realistic facial movements ever in a video game.

This is very important for the video game, because you can now tell if a person is lying or telling the truth by listening to their voice, looking at their body motion AND looking at every detail of their facial muscles, movements and wrinkles!

Every detail of a real life person is captured in this technology; there is nothing left out. We can finally start seeing very realistic video games, without fake looking lip movements, fake looking faces... I just hope that all video games get into the habit of using this awesome technology!
