Diablo GoG Edition Review
April 10th, 2019 Carl Williams How do you review a veritable classic? There are not many titles that fit this category – Super Mario 3, Pac-Man, Doom, etc are all classics that even non-gamers know about. Diablo is another title that fits that genre rather nicely. I know that term is quite subjective but for a lot of gamers, these […]

December 21st, 2017 Brandon Weicks On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, ten lords a-leaping I could have gone two different ways with this entry.

Blizzard Answers Fans with Diablo II on PC – June 29th, 2000 – Today in Video Game History
June 28th, 2016 Carl Williams When Blizzard released the original Diablo it was a completely different time in gaming. Internet was just becoming a thing that everyday people had access to. Magazines still ruled so it was required to get early builds of the game out to publications. Gamers had a slightly lower expectation of games on PC. That did […]

Today in Retro Gaming: Darkstone (PS1)
January 28th, 2016 Michael Crisman Point, click and slay. The PlayStation version of Darkstone was derided upon its release in 2001 as an obvious cash in, a shameless derivative, a poor man’s Diablo clone–roundly ignored by just about everyone. It wasn’t until later that people realized Darkstone was a solid action RPG experience, and it’s that mistake we’re out to […]

Rogue Style Role Playing Game Powder Ported to Sega Dreamcast
April 5th, 2015 Carl Williams Powder is a Rogue-like role playing game for those that don’t know. “Rogue” games are all about the randomness, the not knowing what to expect around the corner or just off in the darkness.

December 11th, 2014 Carl Williams Diablo, the original one, was released quite a while back, December 1996- nearly 18 years ago. Back then, HD was not around, at least not in North America (I believe it was thriving quite well in Japan), but that has not stopped a dedicated game hacker from creating an HD version of Diablo. Not only […]
