Oct 19th
Review
The Diablo Battle Chest is the complete Diablo saga in one box. It includes Diablo, Diablo II (the fastest-selling PC game of all time), the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion pack, and the official Diablo II strategy guide from BradyGames. The combined retail value of everything in the Diablo Battle Chest is more than $70. The Diablo Battle Chest makes the perfect gift for someone new to the action-RPG phenomenon, or for the hard-core Diablo fan that wants the (more…)
Blizzard prepares for ‘Cataclysm’
Jul 2nd
World of Warcraft maker files trademark application for dramatic disaster term on everything from computer games to greeting cards.
It’s safe to assume Blizzard has some big deals on its slate of unannounced projects, but new filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office suggest one of them is particularly dire. Game industry sleuthing site superannuation today unearthed a trio of Blizzard applications filed last Friday, each covering various uses of the word “Cataclysm.”
One filing covers the use of the term as it relates to computer games and mouse pads. The second seeks to lock up the name for use in entertainment services (specifically online games), and the third covers a wide range of ancillary uses, including comics, strategy guides, coloring books, stickers, greeting cards, manuals, and art prints.
While the “Cataclysm”–a violent upheaval or tremendous flood–could fit within Blizzard’s key franchises like Diablo or Warcraft, it could also be tied up with a fresh property. In May, the developer confirmed that its long-awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game follow-up to World of Warcraft will be based on a new intellectual property.
While the trademark filings give away the fact that Blizzard has designs for the term, they do little else. It’s not uncommon for trademarks to go unrealized, as was the case with previous filings like Activision’s Guitar Villain or Blizzard’s own Diablo II: Salvation.
When asked for comment, a Blizzard representative told GameSpot, “We appreciate the interest, but we don’t have any details to share at this time.”

Diablo 2 Patch 1.13 download PTR Very Soon (Diablo 2)
Jul 1st
Bashiok the Diablo 2 Community manager says that a Diablo 2 patch 1.13 download PTR is soon available!
The Warcraft III patch is now on the Public Test Realm (PTR) and testing is progressing. Once that patch is released work can shift back to Diablo II and the 1.13 patch, and we’ll be working to getting that patch up on its own PTR as soon as possible. This could be a matter of weeks. Once it’s up and in a testing state for all of you, it’s then going to be a matter of ensuring the features are good and it’s a solid patch. The more people we have testing the patch and providing valid feedback, the better the patch will be, and hopefully the quicker it will be released. So that’s my challenge to you. You’ve been waiting a long time, you want an awesome patch, you want a reset. To get all that, we need good solid testing and feedback, reproduction steps for bugs, detailed descriptions of issues or errors, etc. So once this goes live on the PTR, I expect some crazed-youruinedtheeconomy-testing.
