Deckard Cain is such a fun addition to the Heroes of the Storm roster. As Chris mentioned before, he really does seem like something you'd expect as an April Fools' joke, but Blizzard made it work. The iconic Diablo character has joined the...

If there's one story that won't to go away, it's the nagging rumous that Blizzard's dungeon-crawling sequel Diablo III is headed to the Nintendo Switch. Today, more wood was thrown onto that particular fire via a listing on U.K. online reta...

Just last week, Blizzard doled out one of the biggest teases in recent memory, trumping a mere character preview for one of their several competitive offerings. They posted a Diablo nightlight and the words "Sweet dreams," leading many to b...

It doesn't seem like StarCraft is pushing two decades, but these anniversaries have a way of creeping up on us. If you were at all into the beloved sci-fi strategy game back in 1998, I'm sure you have vivid memories of sneaking in late-nigh...

[Update: Well, I guess I should of stuck with my initial impressions, as Blizzard have since stated that the tweet is NOT meant to tease a Switch game of any kind. A spokesperson humbly offered that "We can assure you we’re not that c...

Blizzard have announced that The Darkening of Tristram event, held this time last year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Diablo, is set to return to Diablo III in January.The Darkening of Tristram was a nostalgic event that allowed playe...

[I always considered Metal Gear Sold something of an action/suspense/horror game...and it looks like I'm not the only one! Sir Charles of Shred takes us through his childhood in having to face his fears through three key games he experience...

Roguelikes are becoming a hot commodity in gaming. What was once a unique way to experience an old genre is now a common indie crutch to pad out an otherwise thin experience. We’ve seen absolute classics utilize elements from roguelik...

Blizzard is setting expectations for this year's BlizzCon and if you're a Diablo fan, here's the rub: "while Diablo will be on the show floor, we won't be making any new Diablo announcements. There will be a time for that at some point in t...

While Blizzard is known for their tried and true support of their legacy games, even 14 years into some of them, there's a limit. By way of a forum post a Blizzard official has reminded folks that if you're gaming on Vista or XP machines, s...

You'll be able to score double XP this weekend in Diablo III. So if you're looking for a chance to level that new Necromancer, here you go! Blizzard announced the double XP weekend as an apology for a problem with rolling out some hotfixes ...

Just like the ability to change your PSN name, we've been waiting for an "appear offline" function for a long while for Blizzard's various online games. Say what you will about the feature and how it's "not needed," but as a former hardcore...

The Necromancer has risen again. Again and again (like that NSFW Wu-Tang joint), actually, as it was featured in Diablo III as an Act 1 mini-boss and a fully fledged character in Heroes of the Storm. The class is immensely popular, and...

While initial fan reception to Diablo III wasn't exactly glowing, people seem to have come around to the game after the release of its expansion, Reaper of Souls. Much to my surprise, the Necromancer class wasn't added to the game for that ...

With the Starcraft Remastered announcement, lots of fans have gotten their hopes up that Blizzard may be working on remasters of other classic properties. One of the biggest in their catalog is Diablo 2, a game that many feel has yet to be ...

We aren't getting Diablo IV at the moment, but Blizzard is keen on still keeping the game relevant with more bite-sized content drops. That includes the upcoming Necromancer character (which comes with its own host of minor changes), a...

With blood and bone and a trusty scythe, the Necromancer gets shit done. The best way to prove that to you is with a GIF like this:

Reading the name Pylon: Rogue before heading into this preview gave me a few ideas. What if this was about a rogue traffic cone who, while kids are crossing the street, decides to move and cause a horrible accident? I may need psychological...

Windows XP was the defacto operating system for a very long time. I remember immediately upgrading in 2001 and not really thinking about changing until I eventually tried out Windows 7 in 2010. The removal of MS-DOS was pretty big, but the ...

So the Diablo III anniversary patch hit all platforms yesterday, including consoles, and it brought the limited time Diablo I event into the fold. Yes you heard that right -- it's a limited time thing, and will happen every Januar...

Yes, Blizzard is still patching Diablo III. In a related move, GameStop has decided to discount Diablo III across all major platforms, bringing back the historic low price for the 2012 title (2014 for the PS4 and Xbox One). This is a g...

As was foretold in prophecy, Diablo's minions have begun invading Blizzard's other games as part of the 20th anniversary celebration for Diablo. Hearthstone's event began earlier today, and it pits players against Diablo II's Dark Wanderer ...

[Update: It's out!] Diablo just turned 20, and although we didn't really get a whole lot of fanfare out of BlizzCon outside of an event and a new class, the former is coming very soon as a result of the upcoming 2.4.3 patch. As previou...

Diablo released on December 31, 1996, meaning that today is the 20th anniversary of the game that wore out a million left mouse buttons. There will be events commemorating the release in all of Blizzard's games, and the developer also ...

It's hard to believe, but the original Diablo came out 20 years ago on December 31. I remember thinking it was strange that such a huge game was coming out after Christmas, even then. My first time playing was at a friend's dorm room a...
