Everyone loves broken street dates, I mean, it’s a chance to play (and if you’re a sadist, spoil) any game before it’s official release, and happens about fifty times a week.

Coincidence? Bullshit? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that every time [...]

Ripten is so prepared! Our swag is in hand, and we just got done watching the opening ceremonies here at the Anaheim Convention Center. The game plan was to live blog it all, but it was essentially over before we knew it. The BlizzCon 08 opening ceremony was short, and to the point. A Diablo [...]
