After a long wait,
Blizzard finally announces another chapter in maybe their most successful franchise:
Diablo III.
They say it is too soon to announce a release date, and all we know is that the game is in full 3D (using a custom engine and
Havok physics) and we'll have 5 classes (the two already known are the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor). Players will be able to choose the gender of their character regardless of the class (as seen in
Titan Quest) and gameplay-wise things do not seem to be that different.
Watching the trailer and remembering what we saw from
Starcraft 2, I don't know about you, but I pray everyday so Blizzard doesn't pull an
EA on us...
Shellshock rejected (again)
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails,
Eidos's follow-up to 2004's
Shellshock: Nam '67, has been rejected by the tossers at the OFLC. This means that both kids and adults cannot buy the game in Australia if it does not meet the requirements for any rating, the highest one being MA15+.
According to Eidos, the game centers on the use of psychological horror and fear. It is now a possibility that every country in the world is able to get the hands on a copy of the game, except Australia. If an adults-only rating actually existed in that country, it would become available there.

ATARI Biopic Starring Leonardo DiCaprio
Paramount Pictures has secured rights to produce a period movie based on the dawn of video game industry. Following one of the most successful video game company through the prism of life of its founder,
Nolan Bushnell.
Taking its cue from the script written by
Brian Hecker and
Craig Sherman the film will allegedly feature
Leonard DiCaprio as Bushnell himself. It is currently uncertain how much truth there is to this statement. Perhaps
DiCaprio will take a much smaller role or will limit his involvement with just a producer credit.
You all might already know that the history of ATARI has already been captured on film by one of its game designers,
Howard Scott Warshaw. You can purchase four episodes of
Once Upon Atari at
