New DVD releasebrujas, cueva, diablo, mexico, postehki

By the end of The Old Ways, we’ve learned a few things about Brigitte Kali Canales’ Cristina, primarily that she’s been lost for much longer than the movie lets on. Sure, she finds herself captive in a village in the outskirts of Veracruz, Mexico, but she wasn’t any closer to home as a reporter in Los Angeles. In fact, Cristina admits in one of the best scenes of the movie that she’s always felt displaced anywhere she went, that she doesn’t think there’s a home for her, which is why she’s run away from her life in order to find…

Why Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 Won’t Fix Blizzard’s Biggest Problem

New DVD releasebiggest, blizzard, diablo, overwatch, problem

While some gamers have spent the last few years speculating that Blizzard’s string of public problems (which includes layoffs, botched remasters, delays, employee departures, and a series of PR disasters) meant that the company was in serious trouble, a recent report from IGN seemingly confirms that the company is at least struggling to maintain its culture and standards just as new financial issues make the upcoming releases of Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 2: Resurrected more important than ever. If you haven’t read the report, please be sure to find the time to do so. It’s a…

After years of waiting, Blizzard is finally releasing a remake (or remaster, as seems to be the preferred wording) of Diablo 2 that you might have a chance to play early if you’re one of the lucky few who receives an invite for the game’s upcoming technical alpha. While it’s understandable that you may be wary of another remake of a classic Blizzard game after Warcraft 3: Reforged, everything that we’ve seen of Diablo 2: Resurrected so far suggests that this will indeed be the Diablo 2 update that fans have been begging for. In fact, there’s a chance that…

Why Diablo 2 Resurrected Could Be a Problem for Diablo 4

New DVD releasecould, diablo, problem, resurrected

The reveal of Diablo 2 Resurrected didn’t exactly catch fans by surprise (the project has been rumored to be in development for a while and was leaked ahead of the announcement), but there’s something undeniably exciting about seeing Blizzard finally revisit what many consider to be the finest ARPG ever made. Even better, much as it was for World of Warcraft Classic, Blizzard and newly acquired developer Vicarious Visions, the team responsible for the brilliant Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake, is committed to preserving the original Diablo 2 experience as much as possible. “This isn’t a remake,”…

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 3 Review: ¡Diablo!

Netflix, New DVD releasediablo, episode, lucifer, review, season

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 3 “Things have changed up in Heaven.” Workplace relationships in the real world typically prove challenging for all involved, and television writers continue to draw on the compelling conflicts that often arise out of these situations. The Moonlighting Myth has long been dispelled, and putting a television couple together doesn’t necessarily mean a show loses its edge and ultimately its audience. Good writing prevails.  That said, Lucifer may be heading down a path that’s been travelled too far, too long, and at this point in the series’ history, completely unnecessary. The…

It’s been a long time since Blizzard has updated us on the status of Diablo Immortal, but a new trailer reveals some fresh gameplay footage for the controversial mobile title. This trailer features some of the same footage showcased in the Diablo Immortal trailer that Blizzard quietly released as part of the BlizzCon 2019 celebrations, but it focuses much more on the game’s UI and some of the details of its six currently available character classes (Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard). The UI and other visual elements are arguably the biggest takeaways from this new footage. As…
