Blizzard’s released a new trailer which shows the full opening cinematic of Diablo III, which aired during the recently concluded Video Game Awards 2011. The trailer gives you an idea about how it all started and what kind of forces you’ll be facing throughout the game. It looks pretty good. Diablo III is due out sometime in 2012 exclusively for PC. You can watch the trailer after the break.

Say whatever you want about Activision Blizzard, but one thing’s for sure: gaming’s premier publishing powerhouse is never boring. Whether it’s Bobby Kotick tying the industry to a table and rambling on about his diabolical plans to suck the fun out of development or the recent Infinity Ward fiasco, there’s never a dull moment in the house that Modern Warfare added an extra wing onto.

Today’s Q1 2010 financial call was no different, and as a result, did not disappoint. See all the fireworks after the break.

The first reviews of Tony Hawk: Ride have started to trickle in, and sprained ankles and bruised egos seem to be the name of the game here. Well, mostly. So, is this the large plastic, skateboard-shaped nail in the Tony Hawk franchise’s coffin? Let’s take a look.

• Game Informer – 5.75/10
• G4 – 1/5 (!)
• Planet Xbox 360 – 9/10 (!!!)

G4 and Planet Xbox 360 both conducted their reviews at a day-long event last weekend. According to G4, though, they had plenty of time to finish the game.

If you happen to come across any more reviews of Tony Hawk’s latest effort, drop us a line and we’ll add them to the list.

11.5 million’s not a number to sneeze at, but Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick thinks Blizzard’s next MMO can go even “broader” than that. He briefly spoke about the untitled, un-detailed, un-everything-else-traditionally-associated-with-a-game MMO during the recent Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco.

“What we’ve announced at Blizzard is that we have Starcraft [II] coming, Diablo has been in production…and a new, unannounced MMO that has a little more broad appeal,” he said.

Broader than WoW? The real world is doomed.

If a number of listings from major US retailers are to be believed, then yes. GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy all have Modern Warfare 2 listed at the PC-unfriendly price of $60.

Only Walmart’s still asking $50 for Activision Blizzard’s next cash cow. But no one ever tells Walmart anything. It’s not cool.

We’ve sent an email over to Activision to confirm this expensive turn of events.

Thanks, Joystiq.
