Diablo III

Diablo III: Who cares?

How can one define the word replayability? Well, I think that ten years of community playing and company support could indicate that a game is highly replayable. I'm of course talking about the forefather of hack & slash games, Diablo II. One could argue that the game's replayability rests on the shoulders of the following middle option, which is both a blessing and a curse:

Starcraft 2: Terra-Tron. April Fools day unit

In what most probably is an April Fool's Joke, Blizzard announced the new Terran unit, Terra-Tron. The unit is a really big compilation of other units and acts and works like a transformer robot.

It is obviously a publicity stunt since all game characters are bound to conform to the rpg standards like wizard fighter, rogue etc. The new video, by the way, looks like it has a more dark environment than the previously released videos that caused controversy over diablo hardcore players. Here is the video:
