Have you ever played Hero Academy?

I'm excited to see the increased attention and support the Valve partnership could bring, but I also would have rather seen the game stick to just adding fantasy teams. Robot Entertainment would have been stupid to say no to the opportunity, though.

Personally, I'll be happy as long as the team is fun just on its own merits (and balanced), but I can certainly see where GG is coming from.

Gandalf could've used a good Russian with a minigun while fighting off the orcs. . Funny just thinking about that. Well, now that they've blown the fantasy door down, they might as well partner with Lucas Films and make Light and Dark Star Wars teams. You know you want to see that. Just think of the possibilities.
