Anyone try it? I just played for the first time. I've never played DotA before, so it's a new experience and is quite fun.

Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.

DotA is alright, but I've never heard of Heroes of Newerth before. What's that all about?

It's pretty much the same thing as DotA but without relying on Warcraft III's engine. It's made by the guys who made Savage and Savage 2, which are alright games. It's still in beta, mind you, so it's not exactly polished, but it's not too bad. If I had invites to the closed beta, I'd offer, but I don't. :(
