Shhh, listen. Hear that? It's the call of the heroes, and it's coming to your iOS device. Heroes Call is an adventure role-playing game that should be familiar territory to fans of the Diablo series. You navigate dark and slimy corridors and take down wave after wave of the kinds of creatures that prefer such accommodations, including orcs, ogres, and other creatures that typically make poor neighbors.
The free-to-play MMO scene is already pretty crowded, but Divinia's backstory is certainly intriguing. With Yggdrasil dying because of a war between the Gods, led by Odin, and the Demons, commanded by Loki, it's up to the last surviving humans to enter the Gate of Time and return to the past, where they will fight to stave off Ragnarok and save their home.
There are two very different styles of action RPGS. The first, in the vein of Diablo and World of Warcraft, pit you mainly against a giant swarm of lesser enemies. There's the occasional boss monster, but these games are all about destroying hoards of little guys. The other side of the coin is the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), where teams of huge heroes are pitted against each other in a battle of titans.
It's been a few years since The Mummy franchise has done anything worthwhile. There are some who would argue that hasn't happened at all.

People in the know tend to describe the average slots player as a chain-smoking woman in her mid-50s.

And yet, Game Stew Studio has managed to blend those two elements seamlessly to make Tower of Fortune; an iPhone app where gambling is really an adventure.
In the world of sequel tropes, the wild west is an oft-ignored setting. More often than not we see a leap to space, or a trip to Manhattan - neither of which possess the same level of romance as the gun-totin' west. Does this mean SQUIDS Wild West, the upcoming sequel to the highly popular SQUIDS, will be the most romantic squid-based game of all time? One can only hope.
There are a few phrases out there that must be carefully muttered in front of videogame fanboys and fangirls. Say any of these phrases too loudly, and said fans will deteriorate into a screaming and frothing husk of what used to be a human being: Marvel. Diablo. Free-to-play MMO. Today, we must warn you, all three of these sacred words must be muttered in order to describe Marvel Heroes. Commence the screaming.
If there's one word that can be used to sum up Spacetime Studios, it's "legendary." After all, what else would you call the team behind games with names like Pocket Legends, Star Legends, and Dark Legends? Ok - maybe you could call them "productive" too. After all, only a few months out from the launch of Dark Legends, they've just announced their fourth release: Arcane Legends.
