One of the unique abilities of this class is its capacity to transform into a Runic Robot. This form allows for additional devastating magic and attacks that are particularly useful in melee combat, making the Champion very effective at soaking up damage.
Warlock:

Our bad! That’s the word from on high at Blizzard after Tuesday’s flubbed launch of Diablo 3 left paying customers worldwide unable to play the single-player RPG for lengthy stretches. The studio claims it simply wasn’t prepared for the volume of players that bombarded the gates of Sanctuary, and to make sure no further issues crop up, the launch of the Diablo 3 real-money Auction House has been delayed indefinitely.
Posting on the Diablo 3 forums, Blizzard apologized for the server...

Dedicated Diablo 3 players have already discovered the secret level that we all knew would be hidden away somewhere in the game. The Diablo series has a history of such things, with rumors of a secret cow level than never panned out in the first game leading to the inclusion of an actual secret cow level in the second game. Moo Moo Farm is no more in Diablo 3, however. It’s been replaced by Whimsyshire, a colorful land filled with deadly unicorns, stuffed teddy bears, and flowers.

Not everyone knows all things about all MMOs. Once in awhile, a rank amateur joins the legion fans surrounding the MMO-niverse. In our latest look at The Secret World, we check out the game through the eyes of a n00b. See what she thinks and then leave your thoughts in the comments.
My wife’s not what you would probably call a “gamer”. Sure enough she’s played games over the course of her life, and she’s once sported a healthy (but passing) interest in social games....
The Pride of Taern: Dripping with Nostalgia
Posted by MMORPG on May 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment
The Pride of Taern is a new game with a retro look that will attract a lot of folks who wax nostalgic about the 90s. We've given The Pride of Taern a look and have a first preview for you. Check it out!
To help us remember just how "OMGAMAZE" the 1990s were, is The Pride of Taern: an isometric MMORPG with the tagline "I can't believe it's not Black Isle." This Polish creation is dripping in so much nostalgia, antiquated design, and end-of-the-millennium funk, that...
Warlock: Master of the Arcane Review
Posted by GameSpy on May 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment
If you walked past my computer monitor and saw me playing Warlock: Master of the Arcane, I wouldn’t blame you if you mistook it for a fantasy-themed total conversion mod for Civilization 5 at first glance — it’s that similar. But so what if it shares a lot in common with one of the best modern-day turn-based strategy games?
