10 Most Anticipated PC Games of 2012 - #2 Diablo III

2. Diablo III

Why it might be good:

• Diablo III is to the Diablo series what Starcraft II is to the Starcraft series: it's one of the most anticipated games ever
• Experience the dark fantasy world of Sanctuary once again, where angels are at war with demons.
• Blizzard are known for releasing well polished games (although it must be said that Starcraft II wasn't exactly up to their usual standard)
• The runestone concept sounds choice. You get to modify your abilities and even their appearance through the use of runestones.
• Followers which are similar to Heroes in Guild Wars.
• PvP arenas which are similar to Guild Wars.

Why it might be bad:

• The new graphical style may not appeal to the hardcore fans of the original two games
• Potions now have a cooldown which is different to the previous games where you can quaff them like there's no tomorrow. Remains to be seen how this will affect gameplay.
• The Auction House sounds like a sneaky way of introducing micro-transactions for the game.
• No Matt Uelmen to score the soundtrack
