DOTA
DOTA, short for Defense of the Ancients, is a custom map made for Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. DOTA is a team strategy where players can choose sides and his own hero. There are two sides on the games, Sentinel and Scourge. Players on the same side fight the other players on the opposing side to win the game. The objective of the games is to destroy the opponents’ base together with AI controlled units called creeps. Heroes start at level 1 and levels up to level 25. Heroes level up during the game while killing opposing heroes and creeps. Heroes gain skill when they gain additional levels. DOTA can be played as starting 1v1 up to 5v5. This could be against human players or AI controlled heroes which can be played on DOTA AI maps.

Tekken 6
Fighting game fans have had quite a few things to be happy about this year. Street Fighter IV, Soulcalibur IV and BlazBlue all found their way to consoles these past several months and each game was very well received. If those fantastic fighters weren't enough for you -- or they just didn't float your boat -- a little game called Tekken 6 might be what you were waiting for.

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta
Exclusive to the PS3, is well underway, so we thought we'd take a look and see how DICE's sequel is performing. What can we expect from the Battlefield series' latest outing on current-gen consoles? A lot of what you got the last time, if the beta is anything to go by. With up-to 24 players in a game, the multiplayer is still traditionally similar to what has been in almost ever Battlefield game to date. A lot of the modes return from the last game and the vehicles all handle about the same.
