A presence more sinister than any demon hangs over Sanctuary….
It watched from the shadows as a hero of nephalem lineage struck down Diablo, the Prime Evil, and trapped the demon lord within the Black Soulstone.
It waited in silence as the mortal armies of Sanctuary crushed the leaderless remnants ...
Not directly Blizzard related, but if you also play games over EA's new Origin service, this might interest you.
According to EA's EULA for Origin, they have the right to spy on your PC, which applications are installed, make a profile of this and monitor which websites you visit.
You know what other software does the same ?, yes that'd be spyware
The entry in their EULA involved:

Diablo 3 beta gameplay videos have finally surfaced around the net. The video shows off all five of the different character classes which are the Wizard, Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, Barbarian, and the Monk. The gameplay is quite reminiscent of Diablo 2 which is good news for gamers who are looking to return to this franchise after so man...
Remember when you first heard stuff like how either Steam or StarCraft 2 require you to be online for authentication purposes? That the process to play or utilize either service offline can be a bit circuitous, but at least it's still possible to be offline. But, Diablo 3 differs in that you must be online to play at all -- not just for authentication.
Executive vice president of game design Rob Pardo notes that the wealth of improvements and features Diablo 3 brings to Battle.net ...
A post on Battle.net Poland, spotted by CVG, has outlined Blizzard’s line-up for their Gamescom showing in Cologne next month. StarCraft 2?s first expansion, Heart of the Swarm, will be available for attendees to play on the show floor for the first time in Europe, and fans will get their hands on Diablo 3 as well.
“We have prepared for you,...

THIS WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH ... or you get a refund, buy yourself some humor tablets!
Every Thursday, Australian Eastern Standard Time, a new game video review is added.
Why is this worth noting? It is hilarious at times, funny at other times, also boring, and always very well written and presented.
It is the equivalent of say the English The Guardian read and performed by Python John Cleese ... funny walk included.
It is presented by Englishman Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, now hiding in...
In Diablo III you will be able to hire 'followers', computer controlled NPC's that you can hire as you could in Diablo II

As usual with Blizzard, there is no solid release date for the eagerly anticipated Diablo III.
In the comments he made to the New York Times, Diablo III game director Jay Wilson didn’t reveal much about the game’s release date,
but he had this to say about its current development state:
“We’re definitely in the home stretch. We’re crunching. This is when the magic happens.”
We’ll let you know ...

Mark your calendars, because a few minutes after 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 21 one batch of BlizzCon tickets will sell out and a few minutes after 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 25 another batch of the $175 tickets will sell out.
That's if history is any indication of how things will turn out for sales of tickets to BlizzCon 2011, being held this year on Oct. 21 and 22 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
There’s also a benefit dinner being held on Oct. 20 at $500 per ticket (BlizzCon admission in...
Well, it’s official: the next few years are going to be extremely interesting for Blizzard. World of Warcraft is still enjoying its success atop the MMO genre, and StarCraft 2 is still raking in plenty of cash. Blizzard hasn’t made it a secret that they are hard at work on a brand new MMO, codenamed Titan, but with so many high-priority properties on the go, it’s hard to imagine what could be earning so much of the team’s energy. According to a recent interview, Blizzard feels that Titan is t...
Not many developers can boast three hugely successful franchises, but with Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo, Blizzard can do just that. Unfortunately, the popularity of the first two series may be why the highly anticipated third entry in the latter is being delayed. Diablo III was announced way back when the fate of World of Warcraft's future and Starcraft II's success was uncertain. But with the exceptional sales of WoW's expansion, Cataclysm, and Starcraft II's explosion in the e-sports scen...
There’s no telling how many WoW subscribers will migrate to Diablo 3, but instead of ignoring the fact, Blizzard is choosing to embrace it.
It would be an understatement to say that publishers spend a great deal of time juggling release dates, trying to maximize profitability and avoid direct competition. When a company has just two or three major releases in a year that soon pass out of the public eye, there’s little reason to worry about one game sabotaging the other. But Blizzard is fac...
...But they're willing to pay, if you're lucky. Today they've announced a new contest that we think is worth checking out.
Grow up on Starcraft? Counting down the minutes to the release of Diablo III, having worn your Diablo II disc down to a mere sheet of plastic? Do you treasure your World of Warcraft subscription above all else (including food and rent)? Well, this little bit of news might just interest you.
As part of Blizzard’s ongoing 20th anniversary extravaganza – catch the mas...
“The leak took place on November 29, and shortly thereafter, Blizzard China’s general manager, Ye Weilun, was said to have been fired, or at least to have resigned. However, the Marbridge Daily reported that some Blizzard sources have suggested that Weilun’s departure was long in the works and was unrelated to any data leak.”

There’s this guy who says that Blizzard’s next massively multiplayer game is “a total ball to play”. He says the game, code-named Titan, is “the type of game that will have a very long life, much like World of Warcraft has”.
This guy is biased. He’s Paul Sams and he works at Blizzard. He’s the chief operating officer of the makers of World of Warcraft. Should we trust this man?
His quotes come from a recent interview with trade site Gamasutra, in which he describes Titan as “the most am...
20 years after founding one of the biggest names in gaming, Blizzard’s co-founders have put together a video in order to thank their fans for making them who they are.
It’s incredible to look back and see how far the gaming industry has come in just the past few years. Looking back, it’s amazing to see just how far some companies have come.
It’s a wonder to think that the gaming Goliath that has come to be known as Blizzard was, 20 years ago, just another small company created by two men ...
Sad, but true, Activision isn't planning on Blizzard being ready to release Diablo III this year.
During this week's year-end investor conference call, the publisher cautioned investors that the sales and profit estimates for 2011 didn't include any major game releases from Blizzard.
During the call, Activision COO and CFO Thomas Tippl stated that with no current release window for Blizzard's Diablo III, the publisher "felt it prudent" to omit the game from its 2011 financial outlook nu...
Your Battle.net account is slowly becoming the commodity that represents you as a Blizzard gamer. Slowly but surely, your Battle.net identity is going to morph more and more into a social profile. World of Warcraft's armory website was the prototype. The new WoW community site takes things one step further. Over time, Battle.net could look like a Blizzard Facebook, as you friend people on the site, communicate in and out of game via a unified mailbox, and share screenshots and information wit...
Diablo III has been teasing gamers for a long time now, as it has been in development since 2001. It has gone through multiple iterations and seen drastic revisions. Finally, Blizzard has locked into the design and style they want, and Diablo III is getting closer to release. For those curious as to what the game could have looked like, we have an entire gallery of screenshots from the cancelled 2005 version of Diablo III.

In a financial conference this week, Blizzard Entertainment, publisher of the wildly popular Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo series commented that it has no current plans for a 2011 game release. Which is to say that highly anticipated action-RPG Diablo III is getting bumped.
Additionally, the news squashes rumors that Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, the second installment of Starcraft II, will see release in 2011, but essentially confirms it for 2012. Blizzard said they did not want to n...
We’ve come to the conclusion that we have zero interest in Blizzard’s gaming portfolio. Perhaps our ambivalence stems from our console background — as opposed to PC — but either way, the seemingly inevitable announcement of Diablo, Starcraft or Warcraft on PS3 would do nothing to excite us.
Of course, Diablo in particular has been on PlayStation before. It launched on the PSone in 1998. Speaking at DICE , executive Mike Morhaime brought up the subject of Diablo on consoles, stating there’s...
Twenty years is an eternity in the games industry. Few studios last anywhere near that long before either being consumed within a publishing company, or closing down entirely. Formed this week in February 1991, Blizzard Entertainment (then known as Silicon & Synapse), has not only survived, it has become one of the most powerful names in the industry, its name forged with Activision's to form the industry's largest publisher.
The compay's big brands – Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and World ...
