It's Coming!

OMG! Diablo is back! After 10 long years! 10 years! Blizzard Entertainment finally announced the next installment of Diablo. For those of you who don't know Diablo is a "hack and slash" Role-Playing Game (RPG) first released November 30 1996, the game was nothing but minless clickfest. Click to move, click to attack, and click to open chests. Click, click, click, click, click. Despite the simplicity, what can't be denied is Diablo's wide-ranging impact on the gaming industry. The game birthed the action-RPG genre as we know it. And in my opinion i could say that Diablo is the Godfather of all hack and slash-RPG.
The new installment features fully rendered 3D environment (yeah! the grafix!!)
New skill system (skills can be hot-keyed from 0-9 or f1-f10, just like in MMORPGs)
Interactive environment, use the walls to kill the mobs, sweet!!
Character gendering, can choose male or famale (im not sure about a male amazon though, hehe)
New classes, they didn't anounced how many because the site shows only one, the Witch Doctor.
It's time to kill Diablo, again. I mean seriously when will he die? He was killed in Diablo I, he's soulstone was destroyed in Diablo II and now he's back in this sequel. Oh well.. ^___^
The release date of the game hasn't been announced yet, but rumors in some forums say it will be released in 2009. I still have time to upgrade my PC :p
