| | No Blizzcon this year; save your sexy elf cosplay for 2013 | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 26th, 2012 | If you were hoping - nay, wishing that Blizzard might unexpectedly release Diablo III at Blizzcon, their annual “all-things-Blizzard” convention, then you’re going to be might disappointed. There won;t be one this year. It’s on hiatus until 2013, with Blizzard citing its “jam-packed schedule” as the reason. It does mean that we’ll have to wait a whole year to see more women dressed up as sexy night-elves. "We're also heavily focused ... [»] |

| Diablo III’s lost its senior producer…when the hell is this game coming out? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 23rd, 2012 | Gamers have been waiting for Diablo 3, the click-heavy dark fantasy action RPG for what feels like forever. Though Diablo 3 was only announced in 2008, it’s been over a decade since gamers have clicked Mephisto to death. It looks like they might be waiting longer.Over the weekend, Diablo III’s Senior Producer Steve Parker announced his surprise departure from the project - and ... [»] |

| “No one will remember if the game is late”, says Diablo 3 Director | 
Darryn Bonthuys - January 20th, 2012 | How long is too long, for a video game to be in development? If you’re a diehard Blizzard Entertainment fan, any period of waiting must be more painful than standing in line at the traffic department.
Diablo 3 is finally coming out this year, after quite a few years in development, and enthusiasts of demon-killing and level-grinding couldn’t be happier. Of course, a set ... [»] |

| Are Activision running into money problems? | 
Gavin Mannion - December 15th, 2011 | You know there is something massively wrong with the world and the financial markets in particular when you make a game that pulls in over a billion dollars in 16 days and yet are still refused credit. And yet that is what is happening with Vivendi SA, the ... [»] |

| The bane of badassery | 
Noelle Adams - October 27th, 2011 | Arguably the biggest news at this year's BlizzCon was the official announcement of the 4th expansion to Blizzard's super-ultra-successful MMORPG, World of WarCraft.
"I don't play online PC games," you say. "Old game, old news," you mutter. "Inevitable," you groan. Well, this blog post isn't so ... [»] |

| Blizzard doesn’t want you to mod Diablo 3 | 
Darryn Bonthuys - October 26th, 2011 | I don’t know about you guys, but my copy of Diablo 2 has to be one of the most played titles in my collection. That massive box, with the big grinning skull staring back at me still sits proudly next to other games on my shelf, partly due to some fantastic mods that kept the action flowing, long after the main campaign was finished.
With Diablo 3 expected next year, we’re pretty certain ... [»] |

| Blizzard finally confirms their fourth World of Warcraft expansion | 
Darryn Bonthuys - October 24th, 2011 | After months of speculation, denials and running out of the conference hall to make a quick getaway whenever the question was asked, Blizzard officially confirmed their fourth expansion for their long-running MMO World of Warcraft, the Mists of Pandaria.
Detailing a new land, race and adventures that take place there, players will also have access to the Pandarians, creatures modelled after my favourite mascot ... [»] |

| Jaw-droppingly incredible Diablo III cinematic | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 24th, 2011 | I’ll admit - at the risk of being the recipient of a hurled shoe to the face - that I’m not all that much of a Diablo fan. There’s just way, way too much clicking. How do you move? By clicking. How do you pick up that shiny new loot? Yeah, more clicking. So how about combat, then? No prizes for guessing even ... [»] |

| Diablo III Beta Diary Part 2 – A Bad Apple Spoils The Bunch | 
Nick de Bruyne - October 3rd, 2011 | In my previous (and first) Diablo III diary, I rambled on a bit about my new metro-sexual hero, some story elements and also somehow managed to compare Diablo to ex-girlfriends.
In part 2 I take a bit of a look into the visual and performance side of things, including what kind of machine you will need to run it as well as drooling ... [»] |

| Diablo III delayed to next year. Surprised? | 
Geoffrey Tim - September 23rd, 2011 | Diablo III’s closed beta is currently underway - our own Nick is busy with it and you can expect his impressions soon. You might imagine that the game would be nearing release, and that you’d be able to join in the click frenzy this year as Blizzard intended.
I’m afraid not, Diablo fans - as the game’s been delayed to ... [»] |

| Blizzard fuelling Diablo III’s console fire, says controls are better than PC | 
Geoffrey Tim - September 22nd, 2011 | Blizzard’s main staples have increasingly become PC only. While Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have all graced consoles before, their newest iterations are all chained to the click-centric mouse-and-keyboard confines of the PC. Real-Time Strategy games are undoubtedly best using a mouse and keyboard; analogue thumb-sticks aren’t particularly well suited to panning over maps at speed - but Diablo’s different. As a ... [»] |

| Activision wants more from Blizzard in the next three years | 
tdomf_c16f9 - September 9th, 2011 | Do you remember in the summer of 2010 how PC gamers got excited about the leaked Blizzard release schedule? Well the rumour mill is again starting to churn.Blizzard may be one of the finest game developers around, with their mega popular franchises that have built a dedicated following over the years, but they’re not the speediest of developers. They’re the guys that like to take their time, only releasing a game when they feel that its finally done.
