Diablo is back! (Sort of)

I just read from several gaming web sites that Diablo III is now in development and they showed off a number of screens and even a game trailer! How sweet is that? To gamers worldwide, Diablo was the one of the best action CRPGS (computer role playing games) to come out and spelled endless hours of fun, whacking away at monsters, solving quests and getting fantastic loot and items. Sure the gameplay was repetitive but the thrill of getting magical and unique items was the fun part. After close to 7 years, Diablo returns and this time ( from the initial splash page at Blizzard.com), it looks like the Lord of Terror is bringing the pain to the Gates of Heaven itself and as usual, you stand in his way.

The first screens and game trailer I saw was the barbarian whacking away at some baddies. The isometric view was intact but I think everything else got upgraded. Graphics was swell and animations were crisp.

Check out this artwork from Blizzard.

Check out the trailer at http://www.gamespot.com/. It looks awesome.
When is it coming out? Well, Blizzard didn't say anything about it but I think a lot of Diablo II fans will wait with bated breath for this game to come out.
