While the core Warcraft III experience was somewhat intact, the Reforged edition of the game opened to a thud earlier this year in late January. Numerous issues were abound, most notably the unfortunate decision to morph the origi...

Blizzard has had a rough several years. It needs to hunker down and completely rethink its gameplan, especially after making mistake after mistake...after mistake. For some, Warcraft III: Reforged is another blunder to add to that pile...

Warcraft III: Reforged should have been a feel-good story for fans, but Blizzard dropped the ball – hard. It's going to take a lot of time and energy to redeem this remaster and attempt to change the narrative. A recent patch (Version...

Warcraft III has aged like a fine wine. It wasn't just the progenitor of the MOBA genre (which still exists in a thriving state), it also rules as a standalone strategy game. Its marriage of RTS army macro-management and hero micro-manageme...

We don't have to wait much longer for Warcraft III: Reforged – it's launching for PC on January 28, 2020. It'll be playable through the Battle.net app, and the standard edition of the game costs $29.99. In a blog post, Blizzard said i...

All too often in game development (or film, for that matter, RIP old Dr. Who episodes), you hear about "lost" archival masters. It's why I'm so into preservation: you hate to see it. Well thankfully Blizzard pretty much keeps everythin...

[Update: Blizzard shared during the opening ceremony at BlizzCon today that all BlizzCon pass holders will get beta access "by Tuesday."] At last: Blizzard is starting the Warcraft III: Reforged beta. This remake is such a long time coming....

From sea to maelstrom-swirling sea, Reddit user Rhianolord managed to tweak a near-perfect map for World of Warcraft Classic using Brady Games as a source. Not only is the art incredible, but it's also practical, as the map shows off u...

BlizzCon 2019 is scheduled for November 1-3 this year, and we can expect a whole host of announcements from Blizzard's standard stable of games, which now includes Overwatch. While all eyes are on a potential Overwatch sequel, we'll probabl...

Diablo appearing on GOG was one thing, but I'm unreasonably excited to revisit Warcraft's humble beginnings. As of today, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition are available digitally on the site. You can grab them ...

Soulcalibur VI's character creation tool is an absolute riot. If you need proof, scroll through this list of player-made fighters. Some of them are legitimately neat but most of them are just weird as hell. Definitely do not stop until you...

It's been a week of pure outrage. Outrage over the fact we're this late with the Nintendo Direct information and couldn't correct the course of time with our oily bodies. So, while we question the decisions that were made up until this poi...

Fans were stunned after yesterday's announcement of Warcraft III: Reforged. Not only did Blizzard remember that Warcraft was once a strategy game, but they were going much farther in updating the classic than last year's StarCraft: Remaster...

The World of Warcraft Classic demo is out today for BlizzCon attendees and Virtual Ticket owners and you can play it right now. It features two zones (one for Alliance, one for Horde) from levels 15-19, which, back in the day, was a he...

Warcraft III Reforged was just announced at BlizzCon and it set the arena on fire. The game will be heading to PCs in 2019 while a demo is now available on the BlizzCon floor. The demo will feature the "Culling" mission, which is arguably t...

The whole catalyst behind the conflict of the new World of Warcraft expansion is Azerite. As a powerful new substance born out of the battle with the Burning Legion, pretty much everyone wants to get their hands on it, Alliance and Hor...

Californian studio Blizzard Entertainment are certainly not shy when it comes to pumping out the merch for their catalogue of successful video games. Until now, non U.S residents have had to put with some brutal shipping charges - as well a...

Blizzard's digital CCG Hearthstone got a major update today, adding 136 new cards with its new Witchwood expansion, and removing 314 from standard play. The shift comes as the game transitions from the "Year of the Mammoth" to the "Yea...

Warcraft III is a masterpiece, but over time it kind of just fell into a black hole of the various custom maps that it birthed, most notably DOTA and all of its ilk. And after nearly 16 years and some mild recent-ish updates, Blizzard has s...

My wife and I love cooking. Baking...it's a slow work in progress (and many pro bakers would tell you it's a lifelong process), but we dabble, and are getting better every year. It helps if you're spurred into action by video game themed ma...

When touring Blizzard's headquarters for the first time, I came across several giant statues that adorned the halls that showcased a few of their most iconic characters, including Tracer, which they were immensely proud of given that she wa...

Today sees Blizzcon 2017 up and running, with many announcements expected regarding Blizzard's range of popular titles. But even before the opening ceremony, exciting news is coming out of Cali, such as the unveiling of this mammoth statue ...

I'll resist a tired "do you feel old joke" as much as I can, but it's hard to believe that Warcraft III was released 15 years ago last month.  A year later Blizzard would drop the Frozen Throne expansion, which would fundamentally alte...

Blizzard has settled on Thursday, August 10 for Knights of the Frozen Throne. This latest Hearthstone expansion contains 135 new cards, including hero cards, which transform your heroes into Death Knights with modified powers. There are als...

As officially announced on-stream at HCT Shanghai, Blizzard's next Hearthstone expansion is Knights of the Frozen Throne, complete with an ascent up Icecrown Citadel, 135 new cards, Death Knights (as you'd hope and expect), and Lifeste...
