2009-10-28T19:56:51Z 98375 0 The price tag at $30 is, in my opinion, very high in the U.S., relative to other games and their prices. It's $30 for a multiplayer-only game at a steep learning curve where my experience is very polarized and half-&-half: what I mean by this is, half the time, I have awesome fun games, and the other half of the time, I have horrible grueling games. the DotA formula is inherently flawed in that if you start losing in the first couple minutes, your probability of losing the whole game skyrockets. There are very rarely turnarounds. On the other hand, take Team Fortress 2: a multiplayer-only game for just $20, that has a much more shallow (but still difficult) learning curve, and I have a lot of fun whether I lose or win - although of course, It's more fun if I win. Don't get me wrong: I love HoN, I have played hundreds of hours of it already, and it's a great game. But I stand by the opinion that it's not worth $30 relative to the cost of other games here. 9504482 2009-09-28T04:17:18Z 308916 2012-07-19T17:10:54Z Heroes of Newerth 103 2009-12-04T05:25:23Z http://heroesofnewerth.com http://wakoopa.com/software/heroes-of-newerth-1 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/156/506/normal.jpg?1255882152 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/156/506/thumb.jpg?1255882152 36603 S2 Games http://wakoopa.com/developers/s2-games 44 Adventure & RPG http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/adventure-rpg win A DotA successor with an independant engine and a brand new list of community features to modernize the online multiplayer experience.

To be honest, in today's world, this game's feature set isn't up to par, without any online capability nor even LAN multiplayer. That is the only true let down - at $20, the game has a solid ever-changing single player experience that is easy to jump into and compelling to keep playing. 10939026 2009-10-27T10:41:49Z 325284 2009-12-04T08:53:44Z Torchlight 430 2009-11-20T19:09:07Z http://www.torchlightgame.com http://wakoopa.com/software/torchlight http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/160/113/normal.png?1256756420 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/160/113/thumb.png?1256756420 110534 Runic Games http://wakoopa.com/developers/runic-games 44 Adventure & RPG http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/adventure-rpg win Torchlight is an action role-playing game developed by Runic Games.

Development of the game is led by Travis Baldree, designer of Fate, and Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer, co-designers of Diablo and Diablo II, joined by the team that developed Mythos. Torchlight is available for direct digital download and is on sale on the Steam platform only. An editor will soon be released, completely free, for creating mods and custom content can be imported. 2009-10-16T20:16:46Z 95959 0 This game is a fantastic successor to DotA. Its got brilliant graphics which look fantastic, but admittedly are disorienting to new players. The interface is simply perfect. It's organized, usable, non-bloated. The price at $30 is high in my opinion- I'd buy it if it were 20, and I think it should be 15. But seeing as I'm in the closed beta and it's free for now, I'm happy :). 9504482 2009-09-28T04:17:18Z 308916 2012-07-19T17:10:54Z Heroes of Newerth 103 2009-12-04T05:25:23Z http://heroesofnewerth.com http://wakoopa.com/software/heroes-of-newerth-1 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/156/506/normal.jpg?1255882152 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/156/506/thumb.jpg?1255882152 36603 S2 Games http://wakoopa.com/developers/s2-games 44 Adventure & RPG http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/adventure-rpg win A DotA successor with an independant engine and a brand new list of community features to modernize the online multiplayer experience.

The most fun, the most addicting, and, the best price! No subscription fees. Deserves more than five stars for Price / Value. The interface is just perfect. The game runs amazingly, with great graphics - in fact, I have computers which can run Guild Wars on maximum settings and cannot run World of Warcraft on minimum settings. Patching is realtime, streamline, and instantaneous - every time you load a new area, you'll load the patches there before you even get there.
