Wrath of the Lich King confirmed for Q4 2008

Chris Scott Barr, Aug 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

Blizzard is one of those companies that has a very firm policy on releasing new products. Namely, they release them “when it's done”, rather than setting a release date many months in advance. However, they have broken form and revealed when they are planning to release the latest WoW expansion. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

Diablo III is for the PC and Mac only. There's no console version coming whatsoever, or at least that's what Blizzard told everyone when they announced the game. However, they may already be changing their tune. Read The Full Story

Diablo III producer under fire for adding color

Abby McVay, Jul 3rd 2008 Discuss [5]

Diablo fans have finally gotten Diablo III and even now that they've gotten it, some still aren't happy. It would appear as if some fans would prefer the new Diablo to be no different from the first two graphics-wise. Which I understand, it's hard when one of your favorite games is altered. One great example of a new direction gone wrong is Doom 3. I still have the old Doom games on my computer, but I despise Doom 3. Read The Full Story

No Diablo III console release

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 1st 2008 Discuss [0]

When Blizzard decided to start work on Diablo III, one of the things they felt was important was to simplify the interface down to needing little more than a mouse.

Diablo III announced

Chris Scott Barr, Jun 30th 2008 Discuss [0]

Diablo II definitely ranks among my list of favorite games for the PC. There's just something about hacking and slashing my way through the minions of evil that I just can't get enough of. 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

Abby McVay, Jun 27th 2008 Discuss [2]

Blizzard has decided to add a mysterious image to their website, likely to cause a bit of a buzz. Which I'd say has been extremely successful since they have pretty much everyone speculating on what it could mean. Read The Full Story

Blizzard Authenticator keeps your WoW account secure

Chris Scott Barr, Jun 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

Anyone who frequents the world of Azeroth is likely familiar with the danger of your account being hacked. Those that would do harm against your account have a variety of methods, most of which cannot be completely defended against. Common sense about passwords and not downloading unfamiliar add-ons helps a lot, however, if you're still worried about your account being accessed by someone else, then you might want to get your hands on the Blizzard Authenticator.

Diablo II receives 1.12 patch

Chris Scott Barr, Jun 20th 2008 Discuss [1]

For much of my youth I was primarily a console gamer. Sure, there were a few games like Doom and Quake that I used my PC for, but that was about it. There was also a little game called Diablo that I got hooked on. I remember finding out about a sequel, which became the first PC game I actually waited outside of a store for. That was almost 8 years ago to the day, and Blizzard has just released a new patch to Diablo II. Read The Full Story
