Grim Dawn is already funded on Kickstarter. The open-world action RPG is going to be finished. That’s cool. But, if you feel the need, giving Crate Entertainment more money will result in an even more fully-featured game. Not convinced it needs it? Check out our hands-on preview of Grim Dawn and make your decision. I think you’ll make the right choice. Just make it quick, there are less than two days left to donate.
As of this writing, the Kickstarter has just broken $430,000 pledged....
Diablo 3 and Whimsyshire: The Land of Killer Unicorns
Posted by GameSpy on May 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment
“You think Diablo 3 looks too cute and cuddly? Well, how about now?” That seems to be the response from the Diablo 3 team with their creation of the land of Whimsyshire, which is some parts “cow level,” and most parts a fun little jab at all of the early feedback of Diablo 3’s first batch of screenshots from a couple of years ago. According to the Diablo 3 Wiki on IGN, here’s how you can unlock this secret world full of rainbows and teddy bears:

Blizzard Apologizes for Rocky Diablo 3 Launch
Posted by GameSpy on May 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment
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 It’s been replaced by Whimsyshire, a colorful land filled with deadly unicorns, stuffed teddy bears, and flowers.

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?
