IronMan 2

Here at Atchucan Gaming, we all agree that Ironman was the best Marvel movie ever created. And for all of us who watched the brilliant 1st movie, we all knew that a sequel was imminent.

This 2010, Tony Stark will don his metallic suit once again in IRONMAN 2.
Robert Downey Jr. was great in the 1st movie, we expect nothing less on the second.

Here's a little message from Tony Stark himself:

Atchucan is giving away Heroes of Newerth keys

Since we've been talking a whole lot about the DBG genre lately on the NinjaSpartans blog, the members of the Atchucan gaming team feel that it's time to give away some Heroes of Newerth beta keys to our subscribers as a way of saying thanks for all the support you guys have given to us.

Why Heroes of Newerth beta keys?
There was a big clamor for HON Beta Keys on our Atchucan article for Heroes of Newerth. So, we think it's just appropriate to give you guys a chance to get into the beta.

(Note: DBG means DotA Based Game as RPG is to Role Playing Game)
It's a genre that sprung up thanks to Icefrog's popular Warcraft 3 map called DotA.

Only Atchucan subscribers are qualified to enter the contest. So if you're not yet in, you can type in your e-mail add so that we can send the Heroes of Newerth beta keys there.

Delivered by Atchucan Gaming

Just answer these 2 DotA related questions on the comment section:
a) Who is your favorite DotA hero?
b) What is the reason why you like that hero?

You can also answer through Twitter by replying @atchucan
Don't forget the #heroesofnewerth hashtag!

The Lord Of The Rings

As one of the most epic movies of all time, Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of The Rings has converted hordes of people to learn more about Middle Earth.

Filmed in beautiful New Zealand, this film trilogy shows to us grand landscape scenes and epic battles that simply take the viewers' breath away. And now it's on Bluray!


Witness the adventures of Frodo, Legolas and Aragorn as they embark on a journey in a world of Orcs, Elves and men. For those who didn't know, it was J.R.R. Tolkien who inspired Blizzard's successful franchise, "Warcraft."

The films may be quite long but it ultimately pays off. Our recommendation? Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy is a must-watch.

League of Legends

If you've read about the Atchucan article about Heroes of Newerth, then this feature about another DBG (dota based game) might interest you.

League of Legends is a game developed by Riot Games.
In LOL (acronym for League of Legends), a player takes on the role of a Summoner which is a persistent element to the game. The Summoner can summon heroes called "Champions" to fight for them in battle arenas where the aspects taken from the original Warcraft 3 mod called DotA All-Stars are played out.

The best news about it? League of Legends will be a free to play online game.
That means you don't have to spend a single dime to have an advantage over other gamers.
Just download the game for free and you're good to go.
*The game developers are encouraging League of Legends (LOL) torrents.

FYI:
DBG means DotA Based Games - an emerging gaming genre applying to all games heavily inspired by DotA AllStars.

Heroes of Newerth

If you've played the Warcraft 3 custom called DotA All-Stars then this news might be something you'll be interested in.

Heroes of Newerth is a game created by S2 games that literally takes DotA All-Stars body and soul from the Warcraft 3 engine to it's own engine not restricted by Blizzard Entertainment.

Icefrog commented on the issue of a game copying DotA with this statement:
They contacted me a few years ago to ask if I had any objections to them doing a game heavily based on DotA, which I didn't. I don't really mind all these new games (6 total now I think), competition is a good thing in the long run. I will still work hard to develop and improve DotA on WC3 for everyone that is still interested in it.
As you can see in the screenshot below, HoN is DotA All-Stars 2.0.

Looks familiar?
