Diablo III announced. Nice. It looks pretty amazing, especially the gameplay video. Loved the destructible environments.

I must say I am disappointed that Blizzard has stayed on the conservative side in terms of design with their updates to Diablo and Starcraft. Diablo will be interesting since World of Warcraft has a lot of Diablo-like qualities. I have no doubt, however, that they will be incredibly fun, addictive and polished games. Blizzard is the top of the class when it comes to game development - nobody does it better.

I used to like Bethesda, it being the developer of Morrowind and all. Over the past few years however, Bethesda progress upwards as a (pretty good) game company came to a grinding halt, and its progress is now somewhere between stagnant and half past dead. Still, there's a growing sense that someone at that company forgot to take Ritalin the morning they announced that isometric games are dead and that PC gaming is dying.

To confirm their position on the manner, Bethesda has:

* Completely reimagined Fallout to look like a Post-Nuclear version of Oblivion, much to every gamer's chagrin
* Pissed off the majority of their fan base with ignorance, arrogance and misunderstanding of the Fallout franchise
* Signed shoddy deals with game journalists (what journalists?) to limit the flow of information with regards to Fallout 3
* Compounded their mistakes with lies towards the fan base about how the game isn't anything close to being (Oblivion with guns), despite the fact that several of those (journalists) confirmed that the game does indeed feel that way.
* Had a guy who has no idea what he's talking about represent the company
