Ah Muzen Cab is the latest addition to the SMITE playable god roster.

If you haven’t played it already smite is a third-person action MOBA. Instead of having a traditional isometric view (RTS), you are playing with a tight third-person camera. Movement feels natural with WASD and mouse instead of always clicking on a map. You can play as different gods, enjoy killing each other in detailed graphics and visual effects. Experience action combat, dodging, and aiming with almost all attacks being skill-shot. Smite is Free-to-Play but not pay-to-win.

Get the latest on Ah Muzen Cab, God of the Bees.

You may remember me mentioning Merc Elite a few times now, well it’s finally in open Beta. Head on over to the official site to sign up and play.

It’s an action, fast paced, MOBA. You control one of five team mates, mercenaries fighting it out with the rival team, for your corporate paymasters’ interests. There are five classes to choose from, each with different strengths and abilities. Currently the game has two maps and is improving with every patch. Personally I really like it, give it a try and see what you think.

Here’s the trailer for the Juggernaut class;

Valve have released a video demo of their Steam Controller in use. The video showcases a small variety of games to give you a feel of what it’s going to be like. Personally I don’t think it will replace my keyboard and mouse but I do look forwards to crushing joypad users on any FPS games.

As far as a controller goes, I like the look of it and I’m going to be open minded to at least try it, probably more so with single player and local multi-player for myself. Enjoy the video and make up your own mind.

A blue haired psycho with a mini-gun and a rocket launcher, what’s not to like? I love the look of Jinx, the latest addition to the League of Legends champion roster.

Jinx is a mastermind criminal from Piltover and she doesn’t take crap from anyone, least of all Vi and Caitlin. Alongside her in game abilities Jinx also has custom taunts and a hidden passive that interacts with Piltover’s enforcers, Caitlin and Vi.

Check out her champion spotlight below and Riot also made a kick ass music video to go with her launch.

Allods Online Adds New Subscription Only Server

A monthly subscription fee is quite normal for MMORPGs, but many games now offer micro-transactions as an alternative way to generate revenue. Micro payments can easily lead to a “pay to win” scenario, some gamers can be encouraged to stop playing and look for another game. This is why Allods Online has just added a subscription only server.

On the new subscription only server, all elements of micro transactions have been removed. Players will be able to customize their characters, ships or redistribute their avatar’s statistics and talents by using only in-game currency received from completing quests and other activities.

Of course, Allods Online will still be offering cash shop solutions and players will be able to stay on their current server and play same way as before. Joining the subscription based server will change the way how players can progress in the game, with the new payment method there is no need to worry about Runes, Patronage Rank 5, Elixirs or Strongbox bonuses as these among few other items and features will be removed from the game.

GTA : V Online Goes Live Today!

The online MMORPG side of GTA : V is live today. Rockstar have said ahead of launch they were expecting issues with server loads, due to the unexpected number of players. This should only effect the first few days, they are already getting more power to handle so many users. To be fair though, it looks like when everything is ironed out, it will be brilliant. When the first GTA came out back in 1997 I never thought I would be playing something like this, let alone online!

Anyone who has bought a copy will have free access, you will just need to download a small update to your Xbox360 or PS3, it should already be available. It will add the option of multi-player to your start screen.

The story of the online world is set a few months before the single player game. There’s a whole boat load of things they are adding. Safe houses and garages so people can’t just shoot up your house and take your car when you invite them in for a beer. Properties are going to be treated as instances, this will allow more than one person to own their own home in the same place and still be able to visit each others.

A lot of new content is promised over the coming months, it looks like GTA : V online is a massive project. I’m extremely excited to see where this goes. Get all the official news here.

If you’re old enough to remember it, go to official GTA wiki and listen to the original theme for some nostalgia.
