New One-Shot Story Content in Marvel Heroes

Marvel Heroes One Shots

Today, Marvel Heroes is releasing a brand new type of content called One-Shot Stories. One-Shots are not entire chapters in the story, but rather are small snap-shots of the Marvel Heroes Universe that can take place within or outside the game’s primary storyline. They allow for the inclusion of new super villains, new motion comics and new types of enemies who otherwise may not be added to the main storyline for some time.

The first One-Shot story focuses on Man-Ape and his attempt to overthrow Black Panther as the king of Wakanda. Taking a cue from the Black Panther comic books, players will be assisting T’Challa in protecting the Vibranuim mines from Man-Ape and other villains. Read more about the Wakanda One-Shot Story by clicking here.

Gazillion has offered a special code to help players aid Black Panther! Just redeem the code WAKANDAN in your profile (redemption instructions here).  The code expires on May 19, 2014 at 12:00PM Pacific.

 

Gazillion plans to continue releasing more One-Shots that will allow players to experience even more stories within the Marvel Heroes Universe.

 

Rising Generals

Rising Generals is a strategy war game, set in a fictional, futuristic version of the tense Cold War scenario of the 1980s. The online war game features a realistic landscape and a strategic transport infrastructure that can be used to the players’ advantage.

Features:

Instant-action strategy: Directly see the results of your actions – attacking another player’s outpost means you can observe your army marching out to battle the second you give the order to attack

Unique features: Seamlessly zoom on all devices to never miss the fine little details or to get a comprehensive overview of the entire battlefield, just whatever you like best. You can attack your enemies with brute force and overwhelming armies, or fight using stealth and surprise attacks

Cross-platform:: This strategy war game is one of the first and few truly cross-platform online games: Rising Generals was planned, developed, and optimized for multiple devices right from the start. Play at home on your desktop computer, download the app for your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, and continue playing while you’re on the move.

Divinity Original Sin

As Divinity: Original Sin nears its June 20th release date, the team at Larian Studios unveils a limited-supply Collector’s Edition, featuring four Divinity titles, an RPG dice set, and more. Additionally, a massive new update to the game’s beta on Steam Early Access unlocks a fully-functioning version for Mac. PC and Mac players can now also play together on-the-go with the newly-implemented “Laptop Optimized” mode.

About the Collectors Edition
Of the 3,000 English-language units of the Collector’s Edition, 1,500 have been claimed by Kickstarter backers. The remaining 1,500 are available for 69.99 EUR, exclusively at www.larianvault.com. With just a couple thousand physical copies available for purchase and absolutely packed with content, the Collector’s Edition is a must-have for any Divinity fan – or any RPG aficionado – and is now available via the Larian Vault for 69.99 EUR.

Inside you’ll find:

About the Mac Version
The Mac version features full Retina support, an improved “Laptop Optimized” mode, and support for a wide range of systems. Purchase of either the Mac or PC version of the game grants you access to both versions. The minimum system required is Mac OS X 10.8/10.9 with 4GB of memory. The game will run on Intel HD 3000 & 4000 graphics cards, but those should be considered minimum requirements. For integrated chipsets like Intel Graphics, we highly recommend 8GB of memory.
