I'm pretty sure it's only been around a year since the last time I played it. Like many other fans of the series, I was disappointed long ago when it was stated that there would be no future Diablo titles. However, Blizzard has since changed their tune, as the third game in the series has been officially announced. Read The Full Story

Rumor – Non-Microsft Xbox 360s to be created, released

This has to be one of the craziest and most off the wall rumors that I've heard in a long time. Just imagine for a second that you walk into the store to purchase a brand new Xbox 360, and you find several versions to choose from. That's nothing special, as we already have that now.

Apparently this showed up on a recent job listing, which raises an interesting question. Read The Full Story
