    No League of Legends?

    League of Legends

    [​IMG]

    League of Legends is a free game essentially revamping DoTA.

    The player controls a champion, and with the help of autonomous minions tries to destroy the other teams base.

    It has a ton of different champions to play as, and a player can purchase skins for them outside of the game, as well as other items.

    For a free game, this is a beast. The game could have easily retailed for $20, but instead, we get an awesome game for free. Multiplayer ranges from casual fun with a buddy to fun intense games where larger teams go neck and neck. The game has plenty of content, and it takes time to master each champions unique play style, so its capable of keeping you busy for a while. The art and graphics are not very demanding at all, so older machines shouldn't have to hard of a time with it.

    (I'll add other stuff to the post as I think of it. This should cover just about everything for now though.)

    Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA for short).

    It's a free-to-play MMOFPS, similar to Combat Arms. You can buy some special items with real money, or use real money to get in-game money quicker. However, no matter how much money you spend, you won't gain that much an advantage over players who never spent a cent of real money.

    Comparison to Combat Arms:
    - WAY less hackers
    - spending real money gives you WAY less advantage
    - graphics are better
    - game modes are better (Escort is noob-friendly, while Demolition is hardcore)
    - friendlier community, though don't expect miracles
