Gaming is a hobby endorsed by many gamers around the world, and because of this fact, there are literally thousands of games available. Blizzard is one of the big boys when it comes to pc games, and today I will be talking to you about their newest game Diablo 3.  Anyone who plays even slightly will know about the Diablo series. It is very unlikely to not have. Diablo has been a foothold for action-Role Playing Games and has been an inspiration to many similar games known as Diablo Clones (see Torchlight). But what makes Diablo 3 stand out? Easy, the fighting and the treasures. Diablo 3 is a game where you start up and quickly get into the action, slaughtering enemies and finding loot. Let's kick this off with talking about the graphical aspect shall we. Diablo games are not famous for their graphics, but for their combat. With that being having been said, Diablo 3 does have pretty decent graphics but they instantly shrug off their edge as soon as you change the view distance. The spell visuals are great and are varied a lot between the different player classes, and there is a lot of different monsters.  Gameplay is where the game really steps forward. Diablo 3 has some of the best game-play in our time, in any game period. It is great fun when you get in a game with three other friends and just start killing demons like there is no tomorrow. Champion monsters and Unique monsters can be great fun too, as some variations of them are harder than the actual game bosses. This is because Champion monsters and Unique monsters are special demons that have powers named "affixes". These affixes grant demons special abilities like electrical damage, bonus life, freeze, and many other things. Enemies start out with one affix and go up to a maximum of 5 in Inferno mode. Treasure Goblins are a fantastic addition to Diablo 3. The best way to refer to these demons is “moving treasure chest” or “Piñata”. The reason they are called that is that Treasure Goblins appear randomly in dungeons and pose no threat to the player, but the party can make the decision to slay them for a reward. As soon as they are hit, the Treasure Goblins will start sprinting all over the map, dropping things along the way. If you manage to kill them they leave behind a big lot of useful items. The problem is that if they are not slayed in time, the Treasure Goblin will spawn a portal and escape. The official description said by Blizzard for the Treasure Goblin is: “He'll randomly and rarely appear in dungeons, but when he does you'll want to beat the candy out of him as he'll drop progressively better loot with each hit. Don't let him escape!”. If you are the type of gamer that plays games for their PvP (Player versus Player) aspect, you might want to wait before buying Diablo 3 as PvP is not available yet (as of writing this article). It should be released soon however. Sound and dialog is amazing in this game. The speech is very professional and is voiced by renowned voice actors such as Paul Eiding and Michael Gough. All text in Diablo 3 is voiced, even minor dialog such as background chatter.  Overall I recommend Diablo 3 to pretty much everyone who has ever loved games. It is everything you want and more, and you can increase your fun simply by starting a session with other players. For more posts about Diablo 3, please check my blog over at Diablo 3. We regularly update the site with news regarding the game, guide reviews, patch notes, etc. You might also be interested in one of the guides listed in our Diablo 3 Guides page.
