Thursday Games #17: Diablo 3

In just five days, on May 15, 2012, Blizzard will be releasing for everyone the full version of Diablo 3, the long awaited sequel to the highly acclaimed Diablo series. Announced almost four years ago (as Blizzard is absolutely notorious for pushing back release dates over and over), the game has been generating anticipation for regular Diablo fans, and new fans that play other Blizzard games.

In the dark fantasy realm of Sanctuary, a new group of heroes must take up the mantle of their predecessors and save Sanctuary from absolute chaos and destruction at the hands of evil (though, it would seem that "absolute" chaos and destruction would only be one step from their current situation).

If you are excited for the Diablo 3 release by Blizzard, or if you are a new fan to the series, you can be prepared with some excellent, high definition wallpapers:

Thursday Games #14: Halo 4

Halo 4 is looking to be huge, but not quite so big as its predecessors. It is surrounded in ominous promises and the vaguest of description by 343 Industries, the development team that Microsoft chose to replace the original creators of Halo, Bungie, after their choice to end their involvement in Halo (and Master Chief) at Reach.

The Xbox 360 game Halo 4, which is planned to be the eighth game released in the entire Halo franchise, will start a new trilogy by the name of "The Reclaimer Trilogy," and despite Bungie's wishes, will bring back the forgotten Master Chief and his trusted AI, Cortana.

The game is slated to be released in time for the holidays this year, but that should (of course) always be taken with a grain of salt. Though they have released a strong set of art and ideas, the information to actual gameplay and plot has been kept minimal. Whether this is because they haven't panned it all out yet, or because they want to keep it a secret, is still up for guessing.

In the meanwhile, though, you can get your Halo on with these high definition wallpapers featuring the main protagonist of the sci-fi series, Master Chief; the smart-mouthed AI partner, Cortana; and more!
