The free to play online game DOTA 2, which came out of beta last week, is now also available for Mac and Linux.

Dota 2 is a real time strategy game, where you control a team of heroes and fight an opponent to try and destroy their ‘ancients’. Originally a Warcraft mod, Valve brought in the developer IceFrog to make Dota into a fully fledged standalone game with the quality and polish that Valve is known for. Dota 2 is therefore more of a fleshed out and better looking expansion of the original mod. It’s also extremely addictive and great fun.
