Heroes of the Storm characters are free this week, and there's a 50% exp boost

Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm normally features the most annoying way of handling heroes in a MOBA, by having a small batch of them rotate each week with the rest requiring you to either pay or grind in-game currency, but due to the Heroes of the Dorm finals coming up they are offering them all for free.

So if you ever wanted to give Heroes of the Storm a try and see all it has to offer, now would be the perfect time as you will not only be able to play as any of the heroes, you will also earn 50% more experience which will transition in to further unlocks.

Battleborn open beta and DLC plans have been announced

Battleborn is the latest multiplayer focused shooter from the developers of Borderlands, and as you would expect, its presentation is... for the lack of a better word, batshit insane.

If you would like to give it a try and see what madness awaits beyond its Steam page, Battleborn's open beta will start on April 13 and run until April 18. Here's a relatively long gameplay/story trailer that will get you filled in on all of the details, and also overfilled on puns:

Dark Souls 3 Steam preloading is now available

Praise the Sun as the Dark Souls 3 pre-load is now available, a few short days ahead of its April 12 release. The download is around 20GB, which is surprisingly small given how much content is crammed in there.

The pre-load should be available for you right away, but if you're having issues like some folks on the Steam forums, all you need to do is restart Steam and the pre-load will manifest itself, provided you bought the game, naturally.

After many months of working on "old" content, the team is now getting ready to start flexing their creative muscles, and begin work on an original expansion/update to Don't Stave Together, titled simply as Through the Ages.

Diablo 2's patch 1.14b has arrived

Blizzard's classic games team is at it again, this time around with the second official patch for Diablo 2 after many, many years of silence.

Today's update, titled simply as 1.14b, brings fixes aimed specifically at frame rate issues, Mercenaries, and Mac-client crashes. Here are the rather brief, but very welcome patch notes:

Dark Souls official boardgame is going to Kickstarter

Steamforged has announced that they are partnering up with Namco Bandai and developing an official board game set in the Dark Souls universe, which instantly makes me imagine a deck of cards where each one simply ready "x happens, and then you die", words that mostly summarize my Dark Souls 3 experience so far.

The Dark Souls board game will be appearing on Kickstarter later this month, and while this would usually be rather damning news for a new product, Steamforged have already managed to fund a board game with Kickstarter, a medieval fantasy version of football called Guild Ball, and deliver on all of their promises.

Nosgoth will be shutting down on May 31st

Psyonix has announced today that despite their best efforts, Nosgoth, the competitive multiplayer spin-off on the Legacy of Kain series, is being shut down due to a lack of players.

I can't even express how much this news hurts since I've played over 100 hours of Nosgoth, and enjoyed it greatly, so much so that one of the first articles I ever wrote (and believe me when I say, it shows when I look back at it) was to tell everyone how awesome it really is, and now its going away...
