    A fun package you have no reason to miss.

       Most games come with a price tag, and a pretty hefty one at that coming up around $50-60. Recently however there has been a sort of new day for free download-able games witch used to be only for tetris clones. Now with games like D&D online going up for free and this game league of legends being free, well it looks like if you can save that cash for something else. 
       Now to the actual game. You probably know that it  is  a DOTA style game, and if you watched the quick look then you an get a fairly good idea of what the game is like. Its very competitive and intense. Its hard to play in long stretches but 30-60 min sittings are what this game is made for. Matchmaking works fine and there is a basic leveling system where your "summoner" gets access to new spells and what not. 
       It can be fun to try out new champions but you'll most likely stay with the same 6-7 champions you know best. In this way it seems discouraging to try out new champions because you'll get killed a lot by someone using a champion they know well.  
      Problems aside the game is a bunch of fun in short doses. If you have a PC then by all means download the game and begin playing. And if you find yourself dissatisfied then you know the worst that happened was that you spent a couple of hours playing a game... and thats never a bad thing.

      I first started playing the game about 7 months ago when it was still in beta. A lot has changed, mostly streamlining the UI and improving performance of the PVP.net client. I can say that the game has blossomed quite nicely, though it isn't quite yet a full flower. There are multiple bugs still around, most notably the chat server disconnect, which forces you to restart the application to start a new game with friends. Things of that nature made me question Riot moving out of beta and into the ...

      Soon you'll be a monster, too 0

      People who play League of Legends are an angry bunch, by now you must of heard. Being one of the worst online communities in history is at this point both an understatement and undeniable fact, compelling even Riot Games to take action against its players' uncontainable ego. They've actually added features designed solely to discourage the incessant negativity, recently awarding virtual ribbons to 'friendly' gamers (heads up -- they aren't). Maybe the game isn't fun, you wonder, but then judging...
