ZAM Gets Hands-On with Vorp's New DotA Mode

I'll admit: I'm not a big fan of Facebook games. To me, simplicity and ease of access are the two pillars of Facebook, and as a gamer who loves to be challenged, I'm sure you can see why Facebook games and I rarely get along. I am, however, always up to be proven wrong, so when END Games Entertainment's Scott Brown and Ryan Seabury invited me to a play session in their new Facebook game Vorp!, I decided to swallow my uncertainties to see if maybe, just this once, there might be something good on Facebook.

ZAM's E3 Roundup and Best of Show Award

E3 has come and gone, and we learned a lot during our time at the Los Angeles Convention Center. While we invite you to browse through all of our E3 coverage, we wanted to point out some of the highlights from the convention. You'll find all of our original features and a list of other noteworthy announcements after the jump!

We'd also like to take this opportunity to present En Masse Entertainment and TERA with our Best of Show Award! As we explored TERA's political system, the demo shined as the most polished one we saw at the convention. Expanding the role of politics in-game will create a whole new dynamic for players, and we believe TERA holds a lot of potential for its North American audience. We'll definitely be keeping our eye on this game as we wait for details on the testing and launch schedule.

Vorp's 'DotA' Game Mode Discussed at E3

Have you tried out Vorp! yet? It's a free-to-play Facebook game from END Game Entertainment that features space combat. It's currently in alpha testing, so you can only play the Survival and Deathmatch modes right now. However, more games modes are coming soon, as END Game revealed at E3 this week.

END Game discussed its upcoming Defense of the Armada game mode at E3, and it's no coincidence that the feature shares the initials of Defense of the Ancients. This game mode was created for all of you MOBA fans out there and will allow you to team up with other players to destroy the other team's base. It's for 2-10 players, so prepare for some 5v5 action through Facebook.

You can browse through a large batch of Defense of the Armada screenshots in our gallery, and you can see the game mode in action in the video below. If you want to play Vorp! right now, just launch the Facebook app and dive in!
