Video Diablo creator David Brevik stirred up quite a storm the other day with comments the former Blizzard North designer made about Diablo III. While his criticism of the game was fairly mild, the response from current Diablo team members was harsh.

The release date of the highly anticipated MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic has been made public. Bioware and LucasArts have confirmed the official release date for video game to be December 20 in North America and December 22 in Europe. The release date was revealed at the Eurogamer Expo in London.

"I come from the orcs, we eat with spoons and forks, we love to eat our pork!" That's the sound of a male orc in online roleplaying behemoth World of Warcraft. In China, it may also be the sound of an orc male working on the chain gang, by which I mean an actual Chinese prisoner playing an orc male in Blizzard's mega-MMO to rack up very serious (and very real) coin for Chinese prison guards.

As if the idea of 100% voiced dialogue trees wasn't ambitious enough in an MMO property, word has now come out that EA and BioWare are expecting to have two million subscriptions for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
