Diablo 3, New game play footage finally arrives.

Though its short it is from the new closed beta so it does show what the beginning should look like when you first load up the game.
This video focus's on the monk who just tears through the enemies in the early game unlike d2 where even the lvl 1 monsters took several hits.
He is also blinding the monsters with every hit, seems a little too powerful though this could only be for normal difficulty, nightmare and hell could be much worse.
The effects look good and having voice acting though the game will be a big improvement.
If your thinking about Diablo 3, check out the video below!

Uncharted Golden Abyss

Possibly one of the best games that will be released for Playstation Vita is Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Nathan Drake in another of his adventures will have the full power of Sony's portable to help you on your way.

With amazing graphics for a portable, Uncharted: Golden Abyss has beautiful special effects to be seen and with textures and general graphics of the highest quality.
With the game running you can use the touch screen for in-game actions and also the device's accelerometer to keep balance for Drake for example.


Let's see the official video of Uncharted: Golden Abyss that will be released for Playstation Vita and realize that we are really talking about the next generation of portables.
Though from what we have seen with the underselling of the 3DS maybe we can’t expect to much from the PlayStation VITA.
Finally the market will speak.

3D Active glasses for $600

WHY! 600$ for crap!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/19/vuzix-wrap-1200vr-video-eyewear-does-3d-with-head-tracking-for/
A simulated large TV screen at only 720p and a lower HZ rate?
for $600 you can buy a 32" passive 3D TV and just use it as a monitor with local dimming and a much better viewing experience. (the glasses don't have local dimming)  Also if you want Passive 3D glasses they are only $10 a pair. And they come with a nearly unlimited viewing angle which is what your paying $600 for.


I cant see this technology catching on at all $600 a pair for essentially being the same as passive glasses is a joke. With autosteroscopic 4 or 5 years from production Passive is the way to go!

Diablo 3! Skill tress out.

Check them out here, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk or here.
Frankly I'm surprised at the lack of total skills compared to d1 and d2. Now granted some low level skills in d2 were only worth putting 1 point in some others say static shock, weapon masteries etc..... were a must have late game.
Now I'm not sure which game came up with the rune spell system first but, well diablo 3's recent change kind of feels like a less well implemented http://www.pathofexile.com/ (path of exile) Rip off.
I like the idea to socket spells to make them your own, but with out different effects for each socket and only having 5 sockets which all pretty much do the same thing. I doubt we will see the same variety of characters we did in d2.
The Witch Doctor does look pretty fun though I must say.
It's looking to shape up to be a nice game, with starcraft 2 well recived, can diablo 3 make the same kind of comeback? Blizzard showed us that they can make old games new and good but the latest WOW expansion was notably bad. With some many high quality games coming out for the Arpg genre (path of exile, Blizzards own SC 2 mods, League of legends, and I'm sure more I forgot that people will tell me about). Though built in from launch PVP with definitively help.
