Wolfir Silverheart can make both itself and its paired ally large enough to devour the opposition simply by coexisting on the board.

The cash shop system for the title is handled very well, allowing players to unlock classes, perks, gear, and essentially everything else through either gameplay or “I want it right now!” gold system. If this sounds a lot like the League of Legends system, that’s a fairly translatable assessment.

Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded brings a double red new face to the planeswalker entourage, and opens up new possibilities with incredibly early game loyalty acquisition. Tibalt can hit the board almost immediately and begin his dire work, building up to a final salvo initiated via ultimate ability.

Hailing from Kamigawa, it’s Tamiyo, the Moon Sage! This blue planeswalker is poised to take over games with eclectic and emblematic abilities and was previewed today by Mike Flores on the official Magic: The Gathering site.

There are a few huge differences between Neverwinter and other action MMORPGs, and they are significant ones.

Teamed up with several other adventurers, we were tasked with a playthrough of this quick but challenging area. The run was fairly fast, low on trash, and featured a massive final boss that had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

That’s right, actual shark men, coming after your crystals. They are just one of the new features coming up in the next Dungeon Defenders Aquanos DLC, boasting maps, encounters, and challenges that can only be described as obscenely difficult.

Varus. These upcoming League of Legends champions are as strong as they are fun, boasting “big play” abilities and truly nasty kits. We had the opportunity to check out these champions at PAX East 2012 and get down and dirty with the rampaging centaur and the long-range archer assassin.

Our journey took us into the Underdark through Drow and demon territory to the new quest hub of Eveningstar, a once tranquil rural setting now scouted, probed, and attacked by the forces of darkness.
