It is a graphical browser game implemented on the client-side in Java or HTML5, and incorporates 3D rendering. The game has over 200 million accounts created and is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's largest free MMORPG and the most updated game.[1]
RuneScape takes place in the world of Gielinor, a medieval fantasy realm divided into different kingdoms, regions, and cities.[2][3] Players can travel throughout Gielinor via a number of methods including on foot, magical spells, or charter ships.[4] Each region offers different types of monsters, resources, and quests to challenge players. The game'sfictional universe has also been explored through a tie-in video game on another of its maker's websites, FunOrb, Armies of Gielinor,[5] and the novels Betrayal at Falador,[6] Return to Canifis[7] and Legacy of Blood.[8]
Players are represented in the game with customisable avatars. RuneScape does not follow a linear storyline; rather, players set their own goals and objectives. Players can choose to fight non-player character (NPC) monsters, complete quests, or increase their experience in the available skills. Players interact with each other through trading, chatting, or by participating in mini-games and activities, some of which are competitive or combative in nature, while others require cooperative or collaborative play.
The first public version of RuneScape was released on 4 January 2001 in beta form, and in December 2001, Jagex was formed to manage the game. As the game's popularity grew, the game engine was rewritten, and its beta was opened to paying players on 1 December 2003 under the name "RuneScape 2", later renamed RuneScape. The third iteration of the game, "RuneScape 3", was released on 22 July 2013.[9]
Minecraft:
Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. It was publicly released for the PC on May 17, 2009, as a developmental alpha version and, after gradual updates, was published as a full release version on November 18, 2011. A version for Androidwas released a month earlier on October 7, and an iOS version was released on November 17, 2011. On May 9, 2012, the game was released on Xbox 360 as an Xbox Live Arcade game, co-developed by 4J Studios. All versions of Minecraft receive periodic updates.
The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting, and combat. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: survival, which requires players to acquire resources and maintain their health and hunger; and creative, where players have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger. A third gameplay mode named hardcore is the same as survival, differing only in difficulty; it is set to hardest setting and respawning is disabled, forcing players to delete their worlds upon death.
Minecraft received five awards from the 2011 Game Developers Conference: it was awarded the Innovation Award, Best Downloadable Game Award, and the Best Debut Game Award from the Game Developers Choice Awards; and the Audience Award, as well as the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, from the Independent Games Festival in 2011.

StarCraft 2 Heart of The swarm:
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is an expansion pack to the military science fiction real-time strategy game StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty by Blizzard Entertainment. Heart of the Swarm is the second part of a planned StarCraft II trilogy, with part three titled Legacy of the Void.[3]
The expansion includes additional units and multiplayer changes from Wings of Liberty, as well as a continuing campaign focusing on the Zerg race, following Sarah Kerrigan in her effort to regain control of the swarm and enact her revenge on the Terran Dominion's emperor, Arcturus Mengsk.
HearthStone:
Though Hearthstone is the first completely free to play title released by Blizzard, the setting is one that most will be familiar with; the Warcraft Universe. The heroes that will be at your disposal have been pulled directly from the class options in World of Warcraft, allowing you to choose between Paladins, Priests, Shamans, Warriors and the rest. Many of the spells and abilities have also been pulled from former Warcraft games, often even with similar spell effects. Aside from the spells and classes, Hearthstone heads in a completely different direction than any of the previous entries in the franchise.
Rather than controlling a hero in an action packed, fast paced 3D environment, you will have to make much more calculated and strategic decisions. Though you won’t start with all 300 cards in Hearthstone available to you, you can begin to work out the strategies of the game from the entry level set of cards you will have and any others that you collect along the way. Learn how the various cards are best used during a match and adjust your strategies accordingly.
One unique feature you will learn about after spending a bit of time with the game is the card crafting system, whereby you can create your very own cards to use in battle and make your arsenal all your own, totally different than any other out there.

There is also a measure for the rarity of cards, ranging from the common (white) to the legendary (orange). The color coding mirrors that from World of Warcraft and all of the expansions, with all of the intermediate degrees of rarity corresponding to the same levels as in the MMORPG. Perhaps the most exciting part of all is that in addition to being developed for PC users, Hearthstone – Heroes of Warcraft will also be available on iPad.
NEW COMING SOON ON 2014 SUMMER!!!!!
