The first time fans heard about World of Warcraft: Dark Riders was at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con. Chris Metzen, Christie Golden, and Hank Kanalz (DC Comics) showcased several upcoming products at the Warcraft, StarCraft & Diablo Swag Show Panel held there. It’s...

Blizzplanet Review: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

Posted on March 15, 2013 | 6 Comments
The StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm single-player campaign has shattered all my wild expectations. Even all my predictions based on the “Vengeance” Trailer were utterly wrong. Wings of Liberty had a great story, but Heart of the Swarm is simply awesome. That on itself is a feat, considering it is the Zerg episode in the StarCraft II trilogy, and zerg do not talk, right? Kerrigan the Queen of Blades has several supporting characters that...

The very first eBook spun from Blizzard Entertainment was Diablo: Demonsbane by...
