Hearthstone Descent Of Dragons Card Reveal: New Mage Legendary

Hearthstone's Descent of Dragons expansion is coming soon, and card reveals are underway. As the name might imply, this expansion largely centers around dragon synergy, but some cards can be a serious threat without leathery wings. GameSpot can reveal one such card, the Mage Legendary card Chenvaala.

Chenvaala is a 3-mana 2/5 Elemental with a big synergistic effect. After casting three spells in a turn, it summons a 5/5 Elemental. The Mage class has already had luck formulating top-tier decks around slinging low-cost spells, most recently with the reemergence of the Flamewaker deck. Chenvaala won't be able to synergize with Flamewaker in Standard, but it just goes to show that a low-cost card like this can generate big value.

Combined with cards like Sorcerer's Apprentice and Mana Cyclone, enterprising Mages will be able to generate a deck full of 5/5 threats somewhere in the mid-game. Mages have historically struggled with having a minion-heavy board, and this seems primed to address that. Of course, it also plays well with the recent Raid the Sky Temple quest from Saviors of Uldum.

Blizzard notes that the card's name is an anagram for "avalanche," giving him an icy appearance. It began as a joke, but the name stuck, so Chenvaala he is.

Descent of Dragons is coming on December 10. The new expansion is available for pre-purchase now. A 60-pack bundle for $50 includes a Golden Legendary and Shattering card back. The 100-pack Mega Bundle ($80) includes those plus a Deathwing Warrior Hero alternate. Check out our gallery of all the new Descent of Dragons cards revealed so far.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
