Diablo III drops May 15th

I can still remember playing Diablo with my friends via modem back in the days. Doing so was the coolest thing because internet wasn’t that fast/popular/accessible back then. With the dawn of online games, however, I must admit my Diablo addiction was put to rest.

The announcement of Diablo III’s release, though, somehow put the spark back. I missed the game all of a sudden.

Diablo III: Barbarian

Though they were once misunderstood as simple, bloodthirsty invaders, the long and noble history of these proud people is now rightly acknowledged. And therein lies the greater tragedy here, for those of us familiar with the nobility of the barbarians remember too what they call their "vigil", the concept that lay at the very heart of their culture. The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect Mount Arreat and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall roam the land without honor for all eternity.


If there are any barbarians left alive, they must truly be without hope. Perhaps this is the genesis of the rumors of monstrous things reported to resemble the barbarians in size and ferocity, but that are in reality nothing more than unreasoning, inhuman beasts. Could the destruction of not only their home but also their very beliefs have actually brought this magnificent race so low?

After so long a time, Blizzard finally comes up with a new release for its Diablo title. But although news about Diablo III have been circulating around, no one seem to know when it will exactly hit the market.

Aside from the bad news that there will be no more Necromancer class, and the good news of the Wizard class addition, here's what to expect on the new Diablo III:
