	Diablo III
By BetaWar, On 28 Jun 2008 For those of you who haven't already heard the news (I know I just heard today, about an hour ago). Diablo III have finally been confirmed by Blizzard. At this point there isn't a ton of stuff on the site, but there should be enough to keep people intereted for a while. If you wish to take a look at the Diablo III portion of Blizzard's site here is a link: http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/index.xml From the looks of the site and the gameplay trailer it is fairly safe to say that they have enhanced their 3D engine (though as they are using Havok, as with StarCraft II, that was not even a real question - the graphics will be better). At this point there are only 2 character classes that you can look at on their site, the re-though Barbarian, and the Witch Doctor; thoug you can be sure that there will be some spell caster class and probably a Paladin, which leaves 1 class for speculation. Something new and nice with Diablo III is that all the classes can be played as either Male of Female, meaning you can choose if you character is a girl or boy. In the previous games you had to settle with what were provided in terms of gender. After watching the gameplay trailer it is fairly evident that the environment will be a lot more interactive. There are now breakable walls and other interactive portions of the environment to have fun with. The game will be taking us back over explored territory and through previous dungeons in search for answers, and as everyone hoped, to kill off evil. Here is a quote from Blizzard on a brief (and we mean brief) overview of the game: "It has been twenty years since the events of Diablo II. Of those who faced the Lords of Hatred, Terror, and Destruction in the battle over the fate of Sanctuary, there are few still living who can bear to remember the horrors that the Prime Evils wrought upon the world. And of those who did not witness the terrible events firsthand, most believe the stories to be little more than myth. But something evil is stirring once again in Tristram, and it may already have claimed its first victim: Deckard Cain." Sadly, at this point in time there is no forseeable release date for Diablo III. [View Full Thread] Read 24 Times \| 2 Comments

	Myst remade for Nintendo DS
By BetaWar, On 11 May 2008 Since the game (Myst) first came out it has been acclaimed as one of, if not, the best strategy adventure games of all time, and has since then sold over 13 million copies. Now Nintendo has gone through and remade the game for the Nintendo DS. Here are some key features: Immerse yourself in six worlds (“Ages”) that for the first time include the totally new ‘Rime Age’, a new Arctic world for DS players to explore as they endeavor to uncover clues and solve the mysteries of Myst. Newly re-mastered Video, audio and new music. Solve a multitude of puzzles which will challenge your skills of perception and thought. And Unravel hidden mysteries that will reveal the dramatic events of the islands past. New interface – The game uses the stylus as the key method of interaction and takes advantage of the dual screens to enhance game play. The upper screen provides information and allows players to view magnified images while the bottom screen is used to access mini-tools and navigate throughout Myst. New mini-tools - Players have a new arsenal of tools at their disposal including a magnifying glass, camera, notebook and map. - Magnifying glass – With this tool, players can closely inspect clues and items as well as interact with them. - Camera – The camera allows players can take a snapshot to use for future reference. - Notebook – Players can keep notes in their diary as they travel through Myst. - Map – The map can aid in exploration by pinpointing key locations. Original soundtrack – The players experience is enhanced by new music and sound effects that add to the realism of the game. Myst does, however, exclude some of the features that many have come to think of when playing an adventure strategy gaem. There is no inventory, no death, no dialogue, and no instructions. It is all about the player and their mind... FOr more information on Myst for the DS please check out the game at Nintendo.com [View Full Thread] Read 139 Times \| 0 Comments
