Suggestions, thoughts?
Tribes Ascend and DayZ didn't make it on to the poll last week. No one wanted Warframe. Trouble in Terrorist Town almost came first; worth automatic inclusion this week?
So this weeks poll.
Left4Dead2........ .....last week's winner gets extended into the following week TTT.........................last week's runner up. Automatic inclusion Tribes Ascend..........this week's large-scale f2p sci-fi shooter Natural Selection 2....popular on the thread Smite......................rank outsider
And that's sort of how it'll work. Add any thoughts!
Winner: Trouble in Terrorist Town

SMITE is quite fun for messing around. It's essentially 3rd person over the sholder LoL where every skill is a skillshot (and so are auto attacks). As most of WDG and the community are familiar with shooters more than MOBAs (or at least have some FPS experience) it could well make for some lolzy fun. It's F2P and while it looks quite cheap it can be a lot of fun.

It's F2P and while it looks quite cheap it can be a lot of fun. I dont play it anymore because it has alot of balancing issues but yeah out of the big mobas its probably the most accessible because you dont get set back by not being able to last hit that much since you get gold and XP just by being in range of creeps dying. Games also only last like 15-20 minutes.

Yeah its pretty good to play for fun since games cant really go as onesided. I started playing when they went into closed beta, most of the SMNC community after that game had gone to shit played Smite for a while. From what Ive seen it has a good tutorial now and some fun modes (like everyone playing one hero and WoW-arenatype maps). Its just something about the aesthetic of that game that keeps me from playing it more, its so ugly, like a game made in 2002 or something lol. Hirez doesnt have good artists. That and the balancing is kinda bad, heavy melee champs are way more powerful than any ranged mages and some of the junglers are just uncontested and can do whatever they want since its hard to keep control of the map even when youre winning. They also have an official livestream where multiple people stream them playing the game, so its usually onair 24/7.

Yeah, I agree that the game is ugly as hell and it does put me off a bit. I like how the game is integrated with twitch.tv for streaming though, would be cool if more games did that.

It does. Certainly a contender. I reckon that even if it doesn't get voted in this time, it will at some point.
And after all as Yonder said earlier, there is nothing to stop people who haven't got a game either hanging out in mumble anyway (someone might stream it as well) or grabbing someone else and playing another game.

Well Natural Selection is £18.99 on Steam.
Not sure if it's cheaper anywhere else
