LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

Diablo III Open Beta Begins Today At Noon!

Posted on Friday, April 20 @ 01:47:36 Eastern by

Everyone with a valid Battle.net account will have the chance to put Diablo III through a self-proclaimed "three-day stress test" starting today at noon, 12:01 pm PTD, until Monday, 10:00 a.m. PDT. The point of the open beta is to ensure as smooth, non-laggy experience as possible when the game finally arrives May 15. You can download the client here.

The open beta will allow players to team up with friends and play all five heroic classes up to level 13. Unlike invited closed beta testers, however, stress test participants won't have access to post in the beta forums or be provided with Beta Bucks to test the currency-based auction house.

Players in Korea (hopefully not "Korean players" in general as the official FAQ states) won't be able to be a part of this beta. To make up for that, they will receive a separate, invitation-only closed beta test where they can play with those in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

    I can just imagine the face of the poor Korean sitting in front of his computer in New York when he reads Korean players are not allowed. He will be sad.

    Korean player will proxy IP, play anyway. Earn 1000 beta bucks.
    Actually, beta bucks are worthless since they brought out gold AH in beta. Gold you can at least use and accumulate by playing.
