Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a free-to-play online collectible card video game developed and published byBlizzard Entertainment, released worldwide on March 11, 2014. Hearthstone builds upon the lore of the Warcraft series, using characters, creatures, and relics from the series. Initially released for Microsoft Windows and OS X personal computers, Hearthstone also supports iOS and Android devices, and features cross-platform play, allowing users on any device to compete with each other, restricted only by geographical region account limits.

Hearthstone is a digital-only collectible card game that revolves around turn-based matches between two opponents using pre-made decks of cards. Players can choose from a number of game modes, with each offering a slightly different experience. Players start the game with a substantial collection of basic cards, but can gain rarer and more powerful cards through purchasing packs of cards or as rewards from specific game modes. Hearthstone is purposely designed to exclude card trading, instead allowing players to disenchant unwanted cards into a quantity of arcane dust, which can then be used to craft new cards of the player's choice. Players customize their decks with any gained cards to improve their chances of winning and gaining further rewards.

Hearthstone is free-to-play, only requiring the player to download the game client for their computer or device after setting up a free Battle.net account; supporting ongoing development of the game comes from micropayments. Players can obtain in-game gold by winning matches and completing daily quests, such as completing a number of matches in ranked play with a certain hero class. A player can have three active daily quests which carry over until completed or rerolled by the player. Gold is used towards the purchase of new booster packs, entry tickets for arena and adventure modes, and alternative hero and card-back skins.Alternatively, players can spend real money to purchase these items directly. Hearthstone is set within the Warcraft universe, with its characters, spells andlocations drawing from existing lore.

Dota 2

 Dota 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Valve Corporation for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux. The game is the stand-alone sequel to Defense of the Ancients(DotA), which was a community-created mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Dota 2 is played in matches between two teams that consist of five players, who each occupy their own base on the map. Each player controls a powerful character, known as a "hero", that feature unique abilities and different styles of play. During a match, a player and their team collects experience points, currency, and items for their heroes in order to better fight heroes of the opposing team, attempting to push through their defenses. A team wins by being the first to destroy a large structure located in the opposing team's base, called the "Ancient".

Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game in which two teams of five players compete to collectively destroy a large structure defended by the opposing team known as the "Ancient", whilst defending their own. As in Defense of the Ancients, the game is controlled using standard real-time strategy controls, and is presented on a single map in a three-dimensional isometric perspective. Ten players each control one of the game's 112 playable characters, known as "heroes", with each having their own design, benefits, and weaknesses. Heroes are divided into two primary roles, known as the "carry" and "support". Carries begin each match as weak and vulnerable, but rapidly become more powerful during the game, thus becoming able to "carry" their team to victory. Supports generally lack abilities that deal heavy damage, instead having ones with more functionality and utility that provide assistance for their carries.
