The Dichotomy of Diablo 3: Offline vs. Online
Jun 21st
Diablo 3 is a great game. It has a fantastic art style, fun combat system, and an addictive loot system. Played co-operatively with friends, it’s a blast. But, it is also a game with some fundamental issues. Diablo 3 is being torn apart by a schizophrenic design that tries to cater to diametrically opposed play-styles, doing neither extremely well and discouraging adherents of each.
The dichotomy centers around the design of the game in regards to it’s online functionality. Diablo 3 is both a single-player game and a quasi-MMO. Building on their first attempt with Starcraft 2, Blizzard have attempted to More >

The Walking Dead Escape At San Diego’s Comic Con International
Jun 10th
Everyone always talks about their zombie plan, an idea of what weapon best fends off the undead, or where they will run/hide in a zombie apocalypse. Of course, outside of playing the part of a brain hungry walker in the occasional zombie walk, you’re generally not going to get a chance to test out these plans…unless, perhaps, if you live in Miami. But joking of bad drug trips aside, the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, has a game to truly test your undead survival skills.
