StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty’s Evil Easter Egg

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty’s lava-filled planet of Redstone III has a hidden secret, a guest appearance from another Blizzard-created game. Nestled at the far edge of the map is the Lord of Terror, Diablo, stranded on an island and surrounded by molten lava. (So that’s why they call it the Devil’s Playground…) He’s unclickable,…

It’s Blizzard Deal Day On Amazon

So what if Blizzard only has three or four current games – that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be excited by a Blizzard-themed Amazon.com Gold Box day, right? Man, no wonder Kotick fired me. Amazon’s video game Gold Box deal days generally focus around a certain theme or platform, but today’s deals are all Blizzard. Well,…

Torchlight Review: The Fate Of DiabloCraft

What do you get when you assemble a development team of Fate creator Travis Baldtree, Blizzard North co-founders Max and Erich Schaefer, and members of the former Flagship Studios’ Mythos team? You get Torchlight. To be honest, Torchlight hadn’t originally made it into our fall reviewing schedule, being a budget-priced game in a season filled…

Diablo III’s Witch Doctor Conjures Up Memories, Concerns

Played for a bit at last week’s Gamescom, I found my short time with Diablo III’s Witch Doctor initially exhilarating, but over time it left me questioning what exactly I liked about Blizzard’s famed franchise. The Witch Doctor, Blizzard tells us, dispatches opponents with “terrifying precision, assaulting his victim’s mind and body with elixirs and…

$300 Diablo Statue Rages Against Price (And Apples!)

Here’s the finished version of that ridiculously expensive Diablo III statue we showed you a little while ago. It’s now available for preorder, with an expected release date of Q4 2009.

NOW Are You Happy With Diablo’s Art Style?

You thought the hub-bub over Diablo III’s aesthetics was over? It’s not over. That said, Blizzard have moved on from the “hurt deep” stage, and are now in the “coping through humour” stage. Responding to some commenters making jokes about including unicorns, rainbows and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the game, Blizzard’s Community Manager…
