It’s been almost 12 years since the release of Diablo 2. During this time, a lot of things can change. New challengers had entered the ring and tried to reclaim D2’s throne. None of them succeeded. Players have been waiting patiently for the next part of this legendary series and although Diablo 3 was revealed a couple of years ago, its development had started in 2001. This means that it’s been in development for eleven whole years. And frankly, during its development we’ve seen lots of changes. From a gritty, dark and gothic hack ‘n slash fest, Diablo 3 became a cartoon-ish and easier to the eyes’ action RPG. I seriously don’t know if Blizzard was influenced by Torchlight or WoW, however, D3 looked more serious and adult back then. Continue reading Diablo 3 PC Preview→
I’m pretty sure that a lot of you were disappointed with Diablo III’s new, ‘cartoonish’ art direction. Thankfully, there is an FXAA Injector Mod for it and you can see below the difference between the modded and the vanilla version. The FXAA mod works as a direct3d post processing filter, making the game look sharper, have less saturation, add a slight bit of a (silver) sepia tone, slightly lowered exposure, slightly raised gamma. On the left of each shot we have the modded version and on the right the vanilla. Those interested can download the FXAA mod from here. Enjoy!

All hell has broken loose when Blizzard’s community manager, Bashiok, tweeted that Diablo 3 would not support chat channels. We can’t see anything wrong with that – as PC gamers can use Teamspeak and other similar programs – but it seems that a lot of you got annoyed by that. And naturally, a lot of Diablo fans started complaining and thought that Blizzard have turned their back on them. Well, good news everyone as Bashiok was wrong and public chat channels WILL be available in Diablo 3. In fact, they’ll be in an upcoming beta patch so PC gamers will get to see and play around with them really soon. Continue reading Hooray. Diablo 3 WILL have public chat channels; coming soon to the beta via a patch→
You know what? Color-blind gamers have the right to enjoy each and every game. Most of them can’t distinguish the difference between green and red hues but that doesn’t mean that they are bad players or that they are not as hardcore as most of you. And thankfully, Blizzard’s upcoming action RPG game will be quite friendly to all color-blind gamers, as the game is built with those gamers in mind. Continue reading Diablo III will be ‘color-blind’ friendly; game is built with that in mind→
One of the coolest game modes of Modern Warfare 3 is definitely the Infected Mode. However, this mode was available only in private matches and was kind of frustrating to get in it. Thankfully, all this will change and Infected will find its way to our Playlists, as Robert Bowling has revealed that this game mode will be added to the Community Playlists this weekend on X360 and PS3. Naturally, the PC version will be slightly delayed but hopefully that delay won’t be long. This basically will end all those invitations that you had been getting from random players to private infection matches. And yeah, this new mode will be available to ALL players. Continue reading Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Infected Mode to be added to the Community Playlists this Sunday→
Aaaaaaaand here we go again. Activision has released a new video that showcases the content of the RADNET Edition that will be available only to X360 and PS3, and to make things worse, the company has just announced – via the game’s official FB page – that the PC version will be delayed to July 24th. Oh yeah, another delay for another multi-platform title.

Activision has released a new Map Pack for Modern Warfare 3, that is currently available only to the CoD Elite members. The first Map Pack includes two maps, ‘Liberation’ and ‘Piazza’, which are free to download for gamers that have a premium Elite membership. But what about those non-Elite gamers? Well, apparently they’ll have to wait a whole month, as the first Collection of these new maps will be made available to them in March. Continue reading Modern Warfare 3 – First Map Pack for non-Elite members will be available in March→
I know, I know, the latest trailer for Call of Duty’s ELITE service is cheesy as hell. But we were surprised to find out that the classic MW2 map, Highrise, would return in a new map pack for Modern Warfare 3. Sad thing is that PC gamers will have to wait a little bit more as console gamers will be the first ones to get the new maps. In the following video, and at around 0:50, the Highrise map can be easily spotted, though it looks more like a mix between Highrise + Saffron City from Super Smash Bros. No ETA has been announced as of yet for this new map pack. Continue reading Classic MW2 map, HighRise, will return in Modern Warfare 3; hinted at the latest Call of Duty ELITE Trailer→
