Game Over - Diablo III

Evil has been dealt a serious blow this day. Heros have ventured forth to both Hell and Heaven in their journey to destroy all seven Lords of Hell, and they succeeded. But now that the journey has been completed what were the costs of evil’s destruction? As usual this entry of Game Over will have a number if spoilers in it, so should you be brave enough you can delve forth, otherwise finish the game and then come back.

E3 - Press Conference Viewings

E3 is a little under 2 weeks away at this point, and with it comes a number of press conferences from the leaders in the video game industry. Too bad many of us (yours truly included) don't get to actually attend these conferences.  So how will we watch them instead? Well many companies will either live stream the conference themselves or have partnered with a cable channel to do it (such as G4 or Spike TV).  As I find / get links for the streams I will place them in this post, which will be moved to the top of the site each time I update it.

Xbox - June 4 @ 9:00 AM PT

Ubisoft - June 4 @ 3:00 PM PT

Playstation - June 4 @ 5:30 PM PT Preview, 6:00 PM PT Press Conference

Colorado Cutthroat Tournament - Pre Denver Comic Con

Over the weekend Colorado Cutthroat has put on a tournament at the Microsoft store in the Park Meadows mall as a pre-game celebration for Denver Comic Con. Unfortunately I was unable to stay for the whole tournament, but that did not stop me from taking a few pictures. The games that they had in tournament form were Soul Calibur V, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Tekken X Street Fighter.  The play area had the primary tournament was on the big screen in the store and they had several other game stations set up for people not in the tournament to play. Based on how this was setup, we have a lot to look forward to at their Denver Comic Con showing.

Diablo III Breaks Sales Record

This really did not come as a surprise to me, or just about any one else, but Diablo III has broken the record for PC game sales in a 24 hour period. In the first 24 hours of the game being on sale they sold 3.5 million copies. This number doesn't include the 1.2 million copies that people got with their World of Warcraft annual pass subscription. That means approximately 4.7 million people were ready to play on day 1. Over the next week that number grew to 6.4 million users. Congratulations in the record Blizzard, and in being able to have so many bugs at launch and still have people love you.

But have they arrived in time to save creation? And more importantly, is it any fun to play?
