Ye of Little Faith
Blizzard has finally unleashed the video game announcement of the year. I have to admit that I was stunned when I first saw it; for the first moment, I suspected that it may even have been some kind of cruel joke. But after watching the 20 minute gameplay trailer (easy to find on the site), I'm more than convinced that Diablo III is real.It's also amusing to reflect upon Kotaku's reactions to the teaser back when it was still in progress:
When Blizzard started up with the teasing again, plastering the official site with a frosty teaser, Diablo III desperation got the better of a few folks who were interested in having their hopes crushed under the boot of the house that World of Warcraft built.
At the time, these words did sound reasonable to me. Diablo III was hardly the first thing that sprang to my mind when I saw ice breaking away, especially with the Wrath of the Lich King still needing a release date. Looks like the Diablo fan-boys were spot-on, though.

I'm quite impressed that D3 will be released simultaneously for Windows and Mac. Full commendations to Blizzard for making great games, and thinking of all PC gamers. Or at least as many as possible.
As for the released footage, it looks good. Even the teaser was done well. I look forward to the game when it comes out.
