  • Starcraft II Campaign Videos

    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.

  • Blizzard Acquires Diablo3.com

    Blizzard recently acquired the Diablo fansite diablo3.com, now the natural question is “Will Diablo 3 will be coming out anytime soon?” Maybe, but I doubt it, it’s Blizzard we’re talking about here…Starcraft 2 has been in the works for 10 years now…but at least this is a step in the right direction. Diablo 2 is…

  • April Fools’ Day and Video Games

    April Fools’ Day…it’s always the same in the video game world. You are guaranteed to see plenty of ridiculous news stories that are just so obviously fake, but are still totally awesome. I think it’s pretty cool how everyone decides to do it, it’s become a tradition at this point. Blizzard is one of my…

  • Starcraft 2 Zerg Video / Fact Sheet

    I always loved playing as the Zerg, something about beating an opponent by swarming them with tons of units was always fun. I can’t wait to hear “Spawn more overlords” over and over again…Starcraft was super awesome. Also, everytime I see a trailer for Starcraft 2 it looks better and better, I’m giving this game…

  • Blizzard “Announces” New MMO

    In a recent forum post a Blizzard community representative (Drysc) “confirmed” a new MMO from Blizzard. No, it is an unannounced Next-Gen MMO. And that doesn’t mean an expansion for World of Warcraft either. I’m not sure it’s really an announcement when a community representative mentions it on a web board, but it’s still something.…

  • Vivendi Games and Activision Merge

    Sunday Activision and Vivendi Games announced a merger between their two companies. Vivendi will be the majority share holder, purchasing $1.7 billion in Activision stocks. The whole deal will be worth roughly $18.9 billion dollars. The new name for the company will be Activision Blizzard, which is a pretty unoriginal name if you ask me.…
