League of Legends Champion: Viktor, the Machine Herald





League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game made by Riot Games; it is widely popular and has millions up millions of players. I started playing this game back in September and I haven't been able to stop - this is the longest I've ever played any game consistently.



Viktor, the Machine Herald is a champion added to League of Legends in late December, 2011; he is the last new champion released for the year. He is incredibly fun and has a third arm that shoots laser beams! Here is the champion spotlight released by the company.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, Announced at Blizzcon!




World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has been officially announced, after it was initially found out through the registered trademark of the name (and swiftly 'denied' being the the expansion name at all). However, we all knew that it would be the expansion, because of way it was registers (as game software, bundled with a manual...).

Here is an amazing preview that they've released of the game - it tells of the new features and recaps what has happened in the stories of the previous expansions. This is not the cinematic trailer that they usually release as well, for the expansions:

League of Legends, Awesome new character Art spotlight!


 League of Legends is an awesome game based on team versus team combat. They have many different champions to choose to play and many different skins for those characters to change their entire looks and sounds. Here is a video of one of the newest characters, Graves. He is a sort of western style champion and we get an awesome look at he and his scenery around him being drawn!

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

Game sales to reach $81,000,000,000 in 2016!




According to GameSpot, an analyst has done his magic and seen that the future of video game sales is huge. There have already been $66 billion dollars in sales of video games - now, that number is going to climb very quickly to $81 billion!

There's no doubt that games in the Call of Duty series made a huge piece of that money; alongside World of Warcraft and its expansions. Activision-Blizzard got the most out of single games, it seems... Black Ops sold more copies than any other game in history, with around 25-30 million copies sold!

Nonetheless, This is a great milestone in gaming history. Passing eighty-billion dollars in sales of video games just shows how big the industry has gotten and how big it's going to get.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Trailer

Warhammer is a universe that used to only be in the real time strategy genre, however the game is now transforming into a completely 3rd person shooter type of game. It looks a lot like Gears of War. Go ahead and watch the videos. Unfortunately, it doesn't look anywhere nearly as fun as Gears of War... I haven't played GoW, but it definitely looks a lot funner than this... I think they should have stuck with making RTS games... But who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be awesome! That would be great.

World of Warcraft, 4th Expansion, MISTS OF PANDARIA!?

It seems that World of Warcraft's 4th expansion may have been revealed through trademarks that Blizzard has filed for; Mists of Pandaria is the name that they have chosen. For a long time, the Pandarens have been a mysterious and strange race with a hidden continent somewhere on Azeroth; however, the continent has never been revealed to players. Maybe it's finally time for us to see their hidden land and play as the Pandarens?!
