Red Dead Redemption 2 Review

November 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Suvoparno Banerjee

First Impression : Arena of Valor

June 20, 2018 TechARX Kolkata team

Arena of Valor First Impression and My First MOBA While I’ve been enjoying every minute of my Arena of Valor experience at the moment, this wasn’t always the case. Initially, I lost almost every game I played till I was just about ready to throw in the towel and stop trying. The strange part was that I was perfectly capable of developing my own hero and building items. I would even have a few kills by the mid-game, but then we’d lose in spectacular fashion. This happened over and over…
