LoL

No not laugh out loud, recently I've been playing alot of a game called League of Legends. Its kind of a mix between Diablo and Starcraft. The gameplay is very similar to Diablo, but each game is like 20-45 minutes long and you start at level 1 each game. Thats not to say there isn't incentives to continue to play. As you play, you have an overall Level that goes up based on experience from games won, and you also get points to buy stuff. You can buy stuff like more characters, or runes which give you additional attributes like (+.25% attack speed).

One of the major downsides of the game is getting stuck with noobs, or not being able to surrender early. You have to wait until the 25 minute mark to have a surrender vote which seems like an eternity when your teammates are running in and getting owned (and feeding the opponents) over and over.

All in all, the game is a blast, and I highly recommend it.
