What Does the Industry Think?:

"Get out of here! I'm in Act Three you idiot, trying to retrieve my body from those damn Steel Scarabs in Tal Rastafari's tomb! Stop bothering me!"
~Gerry Brucyk, PC Gaming World Magazine

"People need something to do while they wait for the upcoming free Nox expansion pack don't they?!"
~Hecubah, Westwood Studios

"See, he's the Lord of Terror. His brother Mephisto is the Lord of Hate and Baal is the Lord of Destruction, right? Now, me, I'm the Lord of Murder. We have the same mum but different dads you see. I'm also the player's brother in Baldur's Gate right? That means anyone who has played Baldur's Gate is related to Diablo himself! Cool! …. Please buy Icewind Dale."
~Sarevok, Black Isle Studios

"Diablo II has hit one million? Wow! We really should have a review up by now. Where is that review... Bub? Are you doing it? No? Blimey!"

Finally, all the crazy Anne Rice reading vampire fans can get their mitts on newly updated version of Activision and Nihilistic's technology demo Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption. The patch adds the fan demanded 'save anywhere' function, cleans up some of the multiplayer gaffes but doesn't cut the hours of needless dialogue at all. Hopefully it also expands the role of this young lady in the game (see picture below). Get the patch at the Activision site.

Former Ion Storm staffers once reportedly said of John Romero's Daikatana: "You can't polish a turd." Eloquently said. Romero tries to anyway with a 44MB patch that reportedly fixes all the obvious problems but leaves the game as crappy as it ever was. It still sucks but hey, at least it's finally finished, right?
