Check Out All Of Hearthstone's New Cards

Hearthstone's new adventure - Blackrock Mountain - begins later this week (April 2 in North America and April 3 in Australia, New Zealand and Europe), and yesterday Blizzard revealed the final 14 cards. We have now seen all 31 new cards and they break down to 18 class cards, 5 legendaries and 8 new neutral minions.


There are some really interesting new mechanics and ideas coming into play in this set, such as cards that have bonus effects when you have a dragon card in hand, cards and spells that cost less depending on how many minions have died on the turn they're played, and cards that have completely unique abilities. Just take a look at the new legendaries below (click for a larger image). Getting another copy of any card I draw? Reducing the cost of the cards in my hand at the end of my turn? Becoming Ragnaros? Adding random spells from my opponent's class?

The Witcher 3 is 200+ Hours Long

CD Projekt RED's next Witcher game is going to be a time sink.


Senior Game Designer Damien Monnier revealed on Twitter that the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take players over 200 hours to finish if they "do everything".


The confirmation is unsurprising. Back in January, CD Projekt RED told us that it wanted to make an "open-world where there there were no boundaries. Where our artists could do whatever they wanted." It's also in step with the rumour that The Witcher 3 has a 50 GB install on PS4.

Someone Created a Walking Minecraft Robot

In case you needed another Minecraft spectacle to put your little dirt houses to shame, take a look at this massive attack robot by Cubehamster.


It's called Colossus, and not only is it equipped with "mini nuke cannons" and "tomahawk missile launchers," but it walks too. See it in action below.


Powered by pistons, slime blocks, and redstone, Colossus towers over villages, raining down destruction with you up at the helm. It took Cubehamster at least 50 hours to build, an effort that began last December.


Other features of the Colossus include: a reload system for its nuke cannons, a longbow missile system, a sky elevator and elevator docking bay, storage, and a start/stop engine.

Might and Magic Heroes VII: Better Safe than Sorry

“It’s not innovation. We have no breakthrough features,” says Erwan Le Breton, Creative Director for Might & Magic Heroes VII. This might be an ominous introduction for many series, but it’s oddly reassuring for Heroes, entering its 20th year. The franchise has become something like The Simpsons of the turn-based fantasy strategy world: absolutely essential in the 1990s, wildly inconsistent in the 2000s, and reliably decent, if uninspiring in the 2010s. So hearing that the developers were taking advantage of having six installments of the franchise from which to take the best ideas was probably the best possible introduction to the newest game.


Le Breton describes the series as a “mix between chess and Pokemon,” but that may sell Heroes’ appeal short. At the strategic layer, you move your heroes with their armies around to capture mines, find items, capture enemy castles, and improve your own. Then there are turn-based battles, where you move those dragons and ogres, casting spells from the back with the hero.

"Character roster stuff has been a big one," he said. "There's a really big push for the obscure character we have, Tremor, which I got so many tweets from players wanting that character. It actually stood out to me as odd, but there was this swell of people pushing for it with petitions online and all of this crazy stuff, so we included him, and a big reason was because of fans yelling loud enough."

Mortal Kombat X Will Let You Sample DLC Characters

You'll be able to try downloadable Mortal Kombat characters in special Towers without purchasing them, according to series director Ed Boon.


Boon told AngryJoe that one of the special Tower types would give players a chance to sample DLC characters, as long as they log in and try the fighter during the event's duration. As an example, he cited Jason Vorhees, who was recently announced as a playable character.


"Every day when you come on, there's going to be three Towers in the Living Towers section. One changes every hour, one changes every day, and one is called a Premiere Tower, which is like an event tower. So for instance, if Jason comes along, we're going to have a Jason Tower, where you play as Jason and fight up in it--and you can even use that tower if you didn't even purchase Jason. So it's really cool, it gives players a taste of what the character is like to play."

The End of the World: Video Game Apocalypses

There's a big advantage to a post-apocalyptic setting for a video game. You get to basically take the world as we know it and turn it on its ear.

It's probably why apocalypse scenarios are so popular in culture. Look out your window... now imagine everything there is on fire. Pretty simple, right? We construct from our minds a vision of the future built on the ruins of what we see around us.

There's a lot to process and sort through here, so we've provided a simplified rundown on all the major developments surrounding all the Kojima-related drama.


The controversy first began when Hideo Kojima's name and the Kojima Productions logo were being pulled off of Konami's website and related marketing material.

Easy Fatalities Coming to Mortal Kombat X

"A couple eagle-eyed viewers have noticed a symbol with a skull on it" on screens of the game, Lansdown said. "People figured out that's 'Easy Fatalities.'"


Lansdown said that the MKX team has learned that there are some people who just can't pull of fatalities, whether it be they "just can't figure out the timing," or they get too freaked out and crumble under the pressure.


"When the game launches," Lansdown said, players will have access to "maybe 3" easy fatalities Day-One. But he added that there will be places in the game where more can be unlocked.

Goro Will Be Coming to Mortal Kombat X as DLC

During today's Mortal Kombat X livestream, NetherRealm revealed that gamers will be able to add Goro to their roster of fighters even if they didn't pre-order the game.


However, there's a catch. Whereas Goro is a free pre-order bonus, to pick him up later down the road it will cost you. Answering questions from fans during the stream, the NetherRealms team confirmed that everyone will eventually have access to Goro, but "he's free if you pre-order... not so free if you don't."


The addition of Goro as a pre-order bonus was announced back in September when Mortal Kombat X's April 14 release date was revealed. The four-armed brawler made his debut in the first Mortal Kombat as Shang-Tsung's sub-boss. Strangely, his first appearance as a playable character was on the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat.
