Your game is hosted on Battle.net servers and unfortunately can be subjected to lag. While it is understandable that Blizzard incorporated this element as a means of DRM, and as a broadband user I have no problem with it, it is unfair to exclude the thousands of fans that will miss Diablo 3 simply because they do not have access to broadband internet. As of this point Diablo 3 features no pvp though it will in the future, so unfortunately I can’t comment on this part of the game.

Diablo 3 will run on a decent computer, if your willing to turn off the bells and whistles you can run it on something really modest though things may slow down when you get to the crazier bits. Diablo 3 is available on OS X so if you have a boner for Apple you’re in luck.

Diablo 3 was well worth the wait and to everyone who will dismiss the game for its departures from past entries I implore you to give it a chance. In fact I dare you to conquer nightmare and tell me you hated every second of it!
