Wrath of the Lich King Opening Sequence So for you people who are WoW-aholics, here is yet one more little thing to wet your whistle for the new expansion release. The opening cinematic for the expansion. Let me say, like all the others, it is beautiful. It has me more than pumped for this new expansion. The only thing I have to fault it on is that there still is no gnomes in their cinematics. Except if you look close in the undead army scene. Read More...

Blizzard announced that they would be selling a Blizzard Authenticator a few weeks ago; the Blizzard Authenticator is a small device that is attached to a keychain that has a small display that will generate a 6 digit number once you press a button on it, this number changes every minute. The number is a 1 time password and cannot be reused so key loggers are useless because of it.

Your account still has the same log-in and password, but without the 6 digit number that follows, a hacker cannot get into your account. Read More...

After a 7 year wait from the last Diablo, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Diablo 3 was announced today at Blizzards Worldwide Invitational.
