New video games out this week:
"Heroes of the Storm." The latest new game from Blizzard Entertainment is a "Hero brawler," a five-on-five online fighting game featuring heroes and villains from past Blizzard games. It looks to be more accessible than "DOTA 2," though Blizzard insists it's not just a dumbed-down MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena). Free to download and play all modes, additional characters and skins available at various prices, for Windows PC and Mac.
