Diablo III Pushed To 2012 - Beta Extended

Diablo III release date pushed to early 2012 and Blizzard Entertainment extends beta test, plus details on how to get into the now extended Diablo III beta

Blizzard Entertainment announced last Friday that the expected launch window for Diablo III, the next title in the company's critically acclaimed series of action role-playing games, will be moving into early 2012.

"While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year. We were too." said said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "However, this week we pulled together people from all of the teams involved with the game to decide whether we felt it would be ready before the end of December, and we grudgingly came to the conclusion that it would not. Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that lives up to our expectations and yours as well, we should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different elements of the game."


"With every game we make, the temptation is always very strong to launch as soon as possible. However, we didn't put so many years of work into Diablo III to release a game that was almost ready," said Morhaime. "The beta test is going very well, and we look forward to making the most of the extra time we're taking to deliver an experience that lives up to our vision for the game and the expectations of our players. Next year is going to be an incredibly busy one for Blizzard, and we hope an incredibly fun one for Blizzard gamers."


Blizzard will use the additional time to extend the Diablo III closed beta test, which began September 20, potentially adding more testers than initially projected. Players who have an active Battle.net account with any Blizzard game attached to it should visit Battle.net account management to opt in for a chance to participate in the beta test.

Interested in signing up for an advance look at Diablo's coming invasion of Sanctuary? To be eligible to participate in the Diablo III beta test, you need an active Battle.net account with any Blizzard game title attached to it. If you don't already have an account, it's easy to create one. Once you've set up a Battle.net account, or if you've already got one, you can access it by visiting us.battle.net/en/ and clicking the Account button on the upper right. To opt into the beta, click the Games & Codes section of your Account Management page, and then select the Beta Profile Settings option from the drop-down menu. You'll be prompted to download the System Check beta opt-in application; running it will opt you in to the Diablo III beta. If your system specifications change, you can run the System Check application again to update your information.

Unfortunately, running the System Check application doesn't guarantee a spot in the Diablo III beta...

About Diablo III

Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Review

Review of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, see what we thought of one of the most anticipated fighting games of 2011

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is an incredibly colorful, fun and aggressive fighting game, that contains a great amount of admired characters from the previous installments of Marvel vs. Capcom, but also adds a few new faces to the roster. This time around some very abstruse heroes and villains were introduced, witch will for sure please the longtime fans for the comic book world. But what is less pleasing is the shortage of game modes, if you are looking for a game with a variety of fighting experiences, this is not the game your looking for.

Gameplay:
The game play is absolutely amazing, if you have ever played MvC 2 you would know that it wasn’t the easiest game to play, in fact it was pretty complicated. Well not anymore MvC complex controls have been reduced so that it will appeal to a more broad audience, now just because the controls have been toned down doesn’t mean that you don’t need skill to play this game. Trust me this game is not button mash friendly, you will have to practice but it wont take long for even the most casual gamer to pick it up.

The online Gameplay on the other hand is not up to par, from what I have experienced most games lag or disconnect all together unless it is a private match between two friends. Im sure the People at capcom will be pushing out an update soon so don’t let this be a reason to not purchase this game.

Dead Space 2: Severed DLC Hits Tomorrow

Dead Space 2: Severed extends the Dead Space 2 story with the haunting story of Gabe Weller, two stand-alone single-player chapters

Have you finished Dead Space 2? Are you already screaming for more? If so, you’re not alone. Visceral Games has the answer with an all-new digital download pack -- Dead Space 2: Severed. Releasing tomorrow, March 1, Dead Space 2: Severed extends the Dead Space 2 story with the addition of two stand-alone single-player chapters. This digital pack will take players through the haunting story of Gabe Weller, who fans will remember from the award-winning game Dead Space Extraction. As a security officer, Weller comes equipped with a one-of-a-kind security suit and an upgraded, more powerful Pulse Rifle that will help him unleash his own blood-curdling adventure across the Sprawl. Lurking behind every corner is another bloodthirsty monster but the big surprise for Weller (and fans) is the return of the Twitcher, a grotesque enemy who first appeared in the original Dead Space game.

Dead Space 2: Severed will be available March 1 worldwide on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network in North America for $6.99 or 560 MS Points. Dead Space 2: Severed will be available March 2 on the PlayStation Network in Europe.

Heralded by critics worldwide as the first big blockbuster of 2011, Dead Space 2 pushes the limits of action, horror and terror. After mysteriously awaking in a sprawling, massive city orbiting around one of Saturn’s moons, hero Isaac Clarke again finds himself thrust into the middle of a relentless Necromorph outbreak. Surrounded by the screeching cries of undead monsters and the haunting drum of echoing noises, Isaac plots a course through The Sprawl. Dead Space 2 is noted by critics worldwide for delivering an epic terror experience that takes players on an explosive thrill ride filled with intense action and spine-tingling scares through deep space.
