http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA4XFHfpmRQSMITE is a third person MOBA game (think DOTA or LoL) currently in closed beta by Hi-Rez Studios (Tribes and Global Agenda).
There are two main hooks that make this game different from other games of its ilk.
The first is the mechanical hook of its third person perspective, direct character control gameplay and its emphasis on skillshots over things that lock on.
The second is the cosmetic hook of drawing all of its characters from various mythological and religious pantheons.
Personally, I'm really fond of its systems in place to ease new players in, and to give casual players easier options, and its reduced emphasis on last hitting (which means you can spend more time actually killing things rather than having to wait for the right moment to kill things).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6q_3MI73IAThe game is in a closed beta right now, but getting a key is incredibly easy. Anyone already in the beta can just enter your email adress into the "send beta key" feature in-game to get you one, and there doesn't seem to be a limit to how many of these a player can give out.

Graphics look -very- much like League.
But I'd give it a whirl.
Looks like an entirely new map, which could be good or bad,
i still have a few beta codes that don't need an email, if anyone wants one. i sent one to @aphostile, but haven't checked in to ask his thoughts on the game...
i'm pooka in-game.

not sure if they still work, they disappear from that referral screen when they're used right
still not gonna forgive hirez for abandoning Tribes and leaving huge issues unfixed for months. And for doing the same thing to GA before that.
He'd be a great healer. And his ultimate could be called Right Hand of the Father, and just be this massive fist that comes down from the clouds.
Druhim, pm me that email addy and I'll hook you up.

Steam
True, but it's at least set up such that you should be able to afford to unlock a god before leaving the novice queue, and several gods before the ranked matches open up.
also, some more cupid action
I fucking love cupid and live in constant fear of the day the nerf hammer finally comes down
Honestly I'm not a huge fan of DoTa games.
Maybe I'll give it a shot though.
Steam
On it.
Give me your face name.
Does anyone know how I'm supposed to play melee characters? I've tried Kali and Bastet, and I never manage to come out of the lane phase in a decent position.
