Diablo 3

Date played: May 20th and 21st
Platform: PC
Time played: 345 minutes
Session fun rating: 10/10

Blizzard is really good at making pre-rendered cut-scenes...
Well, Act II was awesome and Act III is shaping up to be just as cool. I don't want to spoil much but me and my witch doctor friend beat the living shit out of the messed up creature in charge of Act II, Belial. The fight itself was pretty cool, forcing us to move constantly to avoid poison pools and AOE attacks. We also killed another boss in Act III, a giant spider lady thing. We chopped her to bits by just spamming stuns and damage...

The highlight of my long session has to be the CG cinematic between acts II and III. Blizzard really has a knack for making the most cutting edge, coolest looking stuff out there. My character is also progressing nicely, at a strong level 26 and some 230 dps or so, he seems to be doing well for himself. This game addictive like a slot machine. Except it's the slot machine isn't covered in blood, guts and limbs...
