, Jan 23rd 2012 Discuss [8]

In the world of MMORPGs, there can be no denying that the leaders in the art are currently housed at Blizzard Entertainment, and their next release, Diablo III is being set up as one of their biggest releases in the history of the environment. But when we can no longer count the amount of setbacks this game has had before it launches on fingers and toes, it's time to start doubting in the integrity of the creators. That said, one of the creators of the game, the lead producer in fact, has declared that he'll be leaving Blizzard and the D3 project after having worked on it for 5 years. Read The Full Story

Diablo III opening cinematic released

, Dec 12th 2011 Discuss [3]

There's nothing quite like a good ol' game of Diablo to get you out of the everyday hum-drum of normal human life, and as Blizzard has proven with their eternally entertaining first two installments of this birds-eye-view hack and slash adventure game, Diablo III has a lot to live up to -- today we get our first glimpse of the first three minutes of the game as it's set to be released in 2012, cinematic one and the start of the continued hellish storyline. What you're about to see is Deckard Cain, also known as the dirty old man whose fortune it's been to both be the keeper of the lore of this game series and the one who's always burning in hell while you fight the forces of evil. Cain has a niece now too, and as a meteor shower is about to prove, his ramblings about the return of the forces of hell to the earth to bring about a new terror are more than just a little bit true - great holes of flame!

The greatest game of all time, ever, Diablo 3 (or III, if you prefer), is being pushed back to the start of 2012, that is if you trust the list we got to peek at all the way back in December of 2010.

What about after they upgraded it in one of the patches?

, Mar 29th 2011 Discuss [2]

Are you familiar with the game Ultima? It's one of the most insanely popular video game series of all time.
