Oh, you crazy kids and your clicky-clicky loot games. In the wake of Diablo III's official announcement, it seems that fans of picking up crap that a skeleton dropped simply can't wait for the PC roleplayer to arrive, and are filling in time with the Diablo Battle Chest.
Diablo Battle Chest collects the original Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction along with two hint guides in one handy box, providing fans of the Blizzard series with everything they need to catch up. It currently rests atop the mountain as Amazon's top-selling PC game, but you better hurry if you want one -- at present, there are but three left in stock. Oh noes!
I'm guessing this Diablo stuff is a big deal, right?
[Cheers, Zulu]

I understand the sports hate (sorry Samit :) ), but PC games deserve a 'lil love too.
Now back to your wagglefests and RRoD and last-gen-is-now-next-gen console games.
Don't flame me; I own all 3 consoles and a gaming PC I built myself. Just lookin' for a little parity, that's all.
Not hatred per se, but some people here act like clicking a mouse isn't hard work.
YOU HEAR ME STERLING? MOUSE CLICKING IS HARDCORE! MACROS AND HOTBARS ARE TOO!!!11! RESPECK MY MAD CLICK SKILLS!
In fact I didn't ever think that until I read that flame-bait post. Chill the fuck out people, this is getting retarded now.
Also, I'm thinking of going and getting the same Diablo set because I only ever played it at a friend's house because I didn't actually own a computer when it came out. We had some pretty serious marathons with that game!
I'm looking forward to this. I never play DI, and I played DII a bit but never finished it. I need to go dig around some boxes of stuff to see if I can find my old discs.
There's a line between the two? Really?
As easily entertained as ever, now I see why MGS4 is so popular!
I've ignored the series up until now, and it seems my gaming intuition served me well. It's not BAD, but all the stuff I found likable about it is done bigger and better in WoW. I'll play it a bit more, but I think this style of play is way past its sell-by date.
