Gaming Nexus: League of Legends Review

GN writes: "Players take on the role of summoners who will control a Champion in the field of battle. These Champions can be chosen from a pool of dozens of character types, with at least a few sure to fit any player style. These Champions are then outfitted with a few spells and various ability boosts (called "runes") and set loose on the arena. Generally joining with a team of fellow summoners, players vie to destroy the enemy team base. From the couple of maps I had a chance to see, the maps are arranged with each team base, called a Nexus, at opposite ends of the field of battle. Between these two Nexus points are various lanes of approach, each guarded by defense turrets. Once the game begins, computer-controlled cannon-fodder units begin pouring out of the friendly Nexus and charging toward the enemy." B-/A+
