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...

You'd think that after playing World of Warcraft for nearly 13 years I'd be tired of it, but I'm still plugging away at the Legion expansion. I'd also happily give this NES demake a go, if it were real that is. YouTube channel Rkade Soup re...

Last month, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night celebrated its 20th anniversary. 20 years ago, a game regularly seen on Best Of lists, showed the world that there was still demand for rich, intense 2D action in an era where everything was ju...

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 ...

The Warcraft film is a weird phenomenon to unpack. On paper, it was successful -- it grossed over $433 million worldwide, more than twice its $160 million budget. That's usually enough to cover marketing costs (double), but this one is an u...

I have a lot of fond memories from the launch of World of Warcraft. I was never huge into the Warcraft series, but I loved the art style and the lore behind each entry. Getting to play a constantly evolving plot inside of a massive world wi...

I'm not one for needless remasters of titles that you can still buy. To me, they almost make me feel stupid for investing so much money and faith in a developer. The Uncharted remaster, especially, is just plain better than the originals, n...

There were a lot of great discussions about the Warcraft movie when it was released back in June from both sides of the equation. People have been clamoring for Blizzard to make a film for over two decades, and now, it had finally secured D...

The Warcraft movie that released earlier this summer was unusual for many reasons. Critics found the plot hard to follow, but praised the innovative tech that made the non-human characters lifelike and sympathetic. Perhaps the stranges...

I think Legion is the most fun I've had in World of Warcraft since Lich King, and it's just as well as a new app is coming today that allows players to track and order their followers around on both Android and iOS. It's pretty ba...

Gul'dan, a name pretty much everyone knows by now because of his appearance in the recent Warcraft film as well as Heroes of the Storm, now has his own animated short. Blizzard is crafting a new series called "Harbingers," which s...

Having played World of Warcraft since Vanilla (off and on after Lich King), it's amazing to see how each class has changed. And before Legion drops next month, it's about to get one of its biggest class shakeups yet. As of today, ...

As you may have heard, the Warcraft film bombed in the US. But as you also may have heard, worldwide gross actually matters now, and because of China, it's far and away the highest earning video game film of all time -- and it's s...

In its second week in the US, the Warcraft movie had a massive dropoff in ticket sales (a 72.7% drop), which is one of the largest of all time for a film hosted in over 3,000 screens, but that doesn't matter --it just surpassed $377 million...

In the US, the Warcraft film can pretty much only been seen as a bomb -- at least when it comes to its opening weekend. It's expected to make $24.3 million at the box office this weekend (against a budget of $160 million, not including mark...

Hi, Destructoid! I'm back again to let you know that we just reviewed Warcraft over at Flixist (Yes, Dtoid has a sister movie site. Yes, we're awesome. Yes, come read our words.) In case you didn't know Warcraft is a movie based o...

So uh, that Warcraft film? Poor Duncan Jones. Well, maybe not "poor" Duncan Jones as it seems to be such an international hit that the studio will make a profit on it (note however that films generally need to gross double th...

The first handful of Warcraft movie reviews were not positive and as more opinions are weighted, the reviews have actually gotten worse. The movie still isn't out until June 10 (though there's an IMAX showing here in San Francisco tomorrow ...
