Blizzard Entertainment has announced the release of b>The Construct Quarter, the fourth wing of the Hearthstone online card game expansion Curse of Naxxramas. The single player adventure mode introduced by Curse offers a new game board and a variety of unique class challenges to conquer. The fourth of five unique wings in the dungeon adventure requires in-game gold or real money to access.

The Construct Quarter is an ooze-soaked laboratory where Kel’Thuzad’s more scientifically minded minions assemble undead abominations amongst sparking tesla coils. It’s a hair-raising experience that’ll leave you in stitches, but best of all, deconstructing these vile reconstructions will reward you with all-new Hearthstone cards!

Your first steps into the Construct Quarter will lead you to Patchwerk. He’s called Kel’thuzad’s Avatar of War, but really this hook-wielding abomination just wants to play. . . with your insides. Putting Patchwerk six feet under will lure a pair of Undertaker cards into your collection.

Phoenix Online Publishing and Cuve Games have revealed some more lore about the upcoming Heroes & Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar. Coming To Mac, Windows, and Linux PCs, the game merges elements from RPGs, strategy titles, and "Roguelikes" to create gameplay focused on automated combat. Players outfit a party of five heroes and then go to war against hordes of enemies.

Heroes and Legends is the latest Phoenix Online Publishing RPG addition. We will be exploring the Conquerors of Kolhar through casual fantasy journey. Previously, we presented the gameplay in Heroes & Legends and the creatures you will encounter. Today, we will revise stories, motivations and fighting styles of our heroes.

The core contingent is the starting trio: Allen the Paladin, Benedict the mage, Yaha the fighter. They’ve been sent to go find the artifact that will save the kingdom from the coming cataclysm.

Creating a trifecta of defense, offense and magic, these heroes form the basic party structure and the perfect introduction to the game’s combat system. As the story progresses new characters are added to the party which feature their own set of versatile skills. We will explore the remaining two members next week, we’ll also take a closer look at the world of Kolhar itself.

Night Node has announced the release of Orbital Gear for OS X, Linux, and Windows PCs. The fast paced shooter puts players inside enormous mechs where they must utilize the gravity of celestial bodies to aid them in their mission to destroy other players piloting similar machines.

You slingshot yourself using the gravity of planets and try to aim your movement towards the enemy, in an attempt to destroy their base. Once you have destroyed enough buildings or defeated enough enemies and stolen their energy cores you quickly manoeuvre yourself away from the enemy fire and leave the energy cores in your main base, charging your super weapon and obliterating your opponents once and for all!

Orbital Gear puts the players as enormous mechs, battling each other in the orbit of celestial bodies. To stay alive you need to defeat your opponents, thus receiving their energy cores; healing you and recharging your weapons.
