Microsoft’s Slimmer Xbox 360 Consoles
July 14, 2008
Apparently there is some talk about a Microsoft idea for advancing their console in terms of making is smaller and more affordable. As research develops they are improving their motherboards and chip sets. This reflects lower prices for the consumer and easier production of more powerful equipment as seen in 2005, their original model used a Xenon motherboard was replaced with a smaller model which consequently, though not readily visually apparent, shaved the model down in size and upped it in efficiency. Does this mean Xbox will be debuting an amazing new design and throwing a party? I doubt it as this is just hearsay, however it almost seems inevitable as technology maintains its ever shrinking size and growing power.

Diablo III
July 14, 2008
Diablo fans have been waiting a long time to fight evil again. I can personally relate to them because fighting evil in the world of Diablo is direct and simply yet satisfying and certainly a blast. Fans will be happy to know the look of the series stays true to it’s predecessors despite the transition to 3-D and many new tricks have been added to enhance the game-play. In addition to 5 classes, some of which are returning (such as the Barbarian) from Diablo II and some of which are new, (such as the Witch Doctor) players will still be able to duke it out against Diablo’s minions together employing some very fun attacks and spells. The game features destructible environments, puzzles, lethal enemies and “a near endless supply of items” tied together with creepy environments, disgustingly fun gore and intense sound effects. While there is no official release date from Blizzard (which is something we are learning to expect from them) hopefully in roughly a year we’ll be able to sharpen our axes and summon the elements to battle burning hells once again.
