Blizzard has rolled out a new patch for the beta version of Diablo III and here are its v.0.5.0.8059 notes, where lots of changes were made and RMAH is currently disabled. Blizzard has temporarily disabled the currency-based auction house in order to resolve an issue affecting successful bids and buyouts.

Target.com has listed Diablo III for a February 7th release

We’ve seen various release dates for Diablo III, so here comes a new one from another online shop. According to Target.com, Diablo III will be released on February 7th. In case the date rings any bells, it’s the Valentine’s day and – wait for it – it’s on Tuesday. Now this could be possible, as most major game releases are happening on Tuesdays. However, we are uncertain of the date as Blizzard hasn’t announced any official one, so take that with a grain of salt. Point is that Diablo III is indeed coming on the first quarter of 2012, so get ready everyone! Continue reading Target.com has listed Diablo III for a February 7th release

Darker colors in Diablo 3; FXAA Injector saves the day for those seeking for a grittier look

Admit it, you were disappointed with Blizzard’s decision to include brighter colors in Diablo 3. We bet that most of you wanted a grittier look and here comes FXAA Injector to save the day. In case the name rings any bell, we informed you about this Skyrim mod a few days ago as it enhances the game’s graphics with some amazing results. YouTube user ‘Pyloneer’ went ahead, tweaked and got it working for Blizzard’s hack n slash, so make sure to get it while you still can. We should note that at this point, we are not 100% sure if something like this is allowed by Blizzard or whether they count it as a “hack or cheat”. So use it at your own risk. Continue reading Darker colors in Diablo 3; FXAA Injector saves the day for those seeking for a grittier look

Diablo 2 – New Patch Released

Blizzard released a new patch for their acclaimed hack n slash action RPG, Diablo 2. Yeap, you read that right. Blizzard is still supporting this bad boy and this latest patch fixes numerous bugs, including the annoying duplication method and the one which allowed players to stack their auras in an unusual way, rather than Blizzard had intended. In addition, Mercenaries can now use multiple auras at the same time. Continue reading Diablo 2 – New Patch Released

StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis is a mind-blowing fan-made CG movie

Chris “Freespace” Ciocotisan and StarCraft Legacy released a few days ago a new, fan-made cinematic called StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis. StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis depicts several scenes from the events occurring before and during the Brood War era. It was created, like First Contact, to cinematically recreate canonical lore scenes from the games, the books, and other parts of the extended universe and hopefully, for 7 minutes and 30 seconds entertain you, by taking you once more into the heart of the war-torn Koprulu Sector. This is a drooling CG cinematic – albeit the characters’ animations that are not up to the standards of Blizzard’s CG movies. Still, for a one-man work, this is simply fantastic. Enjoy!

Diablo III – Black Soulstone Cinematic

As promised, Blizzard released the new CG trailer for Diablo III and let us tell you that it looks phenomenal. Well, this is Blizzard we are talking about so it’s only natural to be impressed by these cinematic trailers. And I’ll be serious on this; Some might say that they can’t wait to get their hands on it, but my thoughts were quite different. Personally, I can’t wait untill we get games that look as spectacular as this one. We are seriously stuck right now – partially due to consoles – and seriously now, imagine the potentials when we get graphics plus environment destructibility and interactivity like those that are featured in this CG trailer. Oh boy, I just hope that I’ll live to witness such thing. Continue reading Diablo III – Black Soulstone Cinematic
