Diablo&nbsp;III then.  It sure looks good. Blizzard have always been great at movies and they seem to deliver here also. Their website design is also top notch and this new one offers quite a few goodies for fans, the best of which is, I think, the journal area. So kudos for that also. There's a certain WoW vibe evident in the screenshots but during actual gameplay it's not so noticable and it maintains a nice, dark and gritty look even though these ...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">https://forums.joeuser.com/316651</guid><link>https://forums.joeuser.com/316651</link><pubDate>Sun, 28 Sep 2008 4:14:38 AM -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-09-28T04:14:38-04:00</pubDateParsed><title>Diablo III</title></item><item><author>erathoniel</author><comments>https://forums.joeuser.com/319508</comments><description><![CDATA[&nbsp; Cortex Command is an awesome game.

It's fast, frenetic, and strategic, with resource gathering and management (gold), and a lot of action. It's a fun game, and it recieves a Teen rating for Medium Violence on the VCGW rating system.
