I only ever played Diablo 2 through the online ladder myself so I suppose I'm used to that, but that's rightly a sticking point for some would-be players.

Sadly, while the console version can be played offline, on PC it still can't. Most of Diablo 3's wonkiness has been patched up or patched out (see you in hell, Auction House!) over the years, leaving a pretty swish click-click-clicking action-RPG. Diablo 2's Necromancer class will arrive in D3 next year, bringing his skeletal hordes with him. This is coming in time for Blizzard to, yup, start releasing more paid add-ons that aren't included with this edition.

Twenty years have passed since the Prime Evils were defeated and banished from the world of Sanctuary. While I no longer own physical copies of any games, the 'Battle Chest' name still warms my heart a little with memories of excitement at buying those big old boxes filled with Blizzardy treats. And if you have waited four years for this, nice: after years of patching, Diablo 3 nowadays is good stuff. Blizzard have launched the Diablo 3 Battle Chest, a bundle combining the base game and its expansion, Reaper of Souls, with a small discount. If you're one of those 'I'll wait for the Game of the Year Edition' folks, good news: Diablo 3 now has one.
