  • Blizzard Christmas

    Blizzard sent an email Happy Holidays card, which is totally awesome.

  • Starcraft II Map Editor Can Do RPGs, FPSes

    Starcraft’s map editor allowed users to create their own maps and just generally do a lot of cool things with the game (this mostly resulted in the creation of about a million different Starship Trooper maps). Well, Starcraft II’s editor is going to be even cooler. At BlizzCon’s StarCraft II gameplay panel, they showed off…

  • Blizzard Reveals 4th Diablo III Class, The Monk

    Blizzard announced the 4th Diablo III class at Blizzcon this weekend. The Monk is described as a fragile, fast moving melee character, in contrast to the Barbarian which is more of tank. The class uses a fighting system different from the other three class, adding a bit more depth to the melee moves. Each Monk…

    So, I totally want to play this game. Kotaku also has a nice write-up of the first seven single player missions (it has spoilers).

  • Starcraft II Delayed Until 2010

    Today Blizzard officially announced that Starcraft II will be delayed until sometime in 2010, citing the development of the newly improved Battle.net as the major reason why we won’t be seeing the game in 2009. I think everyone kind of, sort of, knew that Starcraft II was going to be delayed, it’s Blizzard after all,…

  • Sam Raimi To Direct Warcraft Movie

    Yes, I knew there was going to be a Warcraft movie. What I didn’t know? Sam Raimi is going to be directing it. No word on when to expect the movie, or really any other major details (though there is some more information about the movie here). I have some concerns, mostly revolving around the…

  • Starcraft II’s Tech Trees

    I think I want to play as Terran, no other unit looks as radical as Thor. And now I know exactly what buildings I need to create them…6 months ahead of time. The Terran and Zerg trees are below…

  • Diablo III Announced

    I know this news is like a week late, but it’s too important not to post something. Blizzard finally announced Diablo III last week at their 2008 Worldwide Invitational in Paris. Sure, it only took, what eight years, but that doesn’t matter. In fact, I kind of like the fact that Blizzard didn’t just pump…

  • BlizzCon 2008

    Blizzard announced their annual BlizzCon gaming convention today. Tickets are $100 each, I think I would totally do it if it wasn’t in California. No video game related cool stuff happens on the east coast for some reason. Which is total crap. The whole press release is below…

  • Starcraft II Producer Video

    Watch a Starcraft II video featuring producer Chris Sigaty. I wonder if my hair would look that good if it was long.
