Diablo III Opening Cinematic

Posted on Dec 11, 2011

During the Spike TV Video Game Awards last night, Blizzard premiered the full opening cinematic for Diablo 3. The video doesn’t really show much in terms of storyline until the very end, but I won’t ruin it for you. Also still no mention of a release date, which is now just annoying.  Common Blizzard, spill [...]
