Kabam Off-Key With Wartune

Since its founding in 2009, Kabam has grown to a company of 500 employees, one valued at more than $700 million. It is the developer behind the hit Kingdoms of Camelot franchise, and has been entrusted with making games for a number of high-profile film properties, including The Godfather, The Hobbit, and The Fast & The Furious.
That should be enough to establish Kabam's legitimacy beyond question, but the company's announcement this week that it will be distributing 7th Road's Wartune for iOS and Android in the US and Europe has me questioning it nonetheless...(more)

New Jersey Sets Late November Deadline To Go Live With Online Gambling

New Jersey online gambling regulators plan to go live with legal intrastate betting sites by the end of November. The deadline follows the state of Delaware, the only other state with fully regulated online gambling where sites will go live by the end of October.
New Jersey and Delaware legalized online gambling despite the US government’s ban on the practice in 2006. The states followed the lead of Nevada, which legalized online poker at the end of 2012 and went live with a number of poker sites earlier this year. However, unlike Nevada where only online poker was made legal, New Jersey and Delaware legalized most internet casino games...(more)

Blizzard's Hearthstone Is Magic For Casuals And That's Fantastic

First off, the game is gorgeous, and the tactile feedback is incredible. When monsters attack, they leap across the board and slap your own monsters across the face. When you shoot a fireball at your opponent, you literally shoot a fireball at them and they curse you when it hits. Land a particularly nasty blow and the entire board will shake like your opponent actually slammed his fists down on the table in frustration.
You can practice any one of the game’s nine classes against computer AI, then choose to use either standard or custom decks to fight others online. There’s a separate mode called “The Arena” which has you assembling a deck from random cards, many of which you won’t own, and trying to fight for as long and hard as you can until you rack up three loses. The more you win, the more prizes you get like card packs, crafting essence and gold, hence an initial fee to enter. It’s my favorite mode so far, but unfortunately Battle.net disconnects accounted for two of my three loses in the end, which was rather disheartening...(more)
