Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

Warcraft III: Reforged Releasing Soon (Jan 28)

Just a quick note here to let you know that Warcraft III: Reforged is going to be released on Jan. 28. It's not that far away, yet it feels like it's been a while since we've heard anything about it. I don't recall hearing anything about it at this year's Blizzcon, which comes as a surprise now that we have this release date. Maybe I missed something, after all I was only playing attention to Diablo IV anyway.

You can buy a digital version of the game for $30 (which is $2 per mission) or spend an extra $10 to get some bonus stuff. See the link below for more info.

Is anyone planning to get this at launch? I'm not sure myself. I've played all of Warcraft and Warcraft II,... Read All

I'd put this up there as one my favorite games so this is a day one purchase for me. Not sure about pre-ordering but i'll but it when it comes out. I wanted to replay it recently so i'm saving that for this new version.

The pre-order special extra version gives you skins in the Reforged version so I wonder if you can unlock skins or if there is some kind of DLC store for this one? If they go fairly big on multiplayer for this they could be adding a bunch more DLC to help support it post launch.

I can't decide whether or not I'd want to spend the extra $10 for skins. For me, it might not be worth it, because I don't usually play any Blizzard game. Right now my favorite is Diablo (III for me), but I've played it plenty enough and don't have much desire to play it again. So I think it wouldn't be all that worth it to pay extra for skins. As for someone who plays more Blizzard games, I think this could certainly be worth it. Skins are cool. I'm not really against buying them, as long as their inexpensive and worth it. This game is on the more affordable side of gaming now. I can understand why someone would want to pay a little more just to help support a game they love. As for getting it at launch, I might not, because I already have my gaming planned out, which may last into February, March, or later. So, I might wait. If I do wait, I'd certainly be interested in seeing what you or anyone else has to say about it.

Yeah, haven't decided on skins either. I usually don't care but i'm open to changing my mind later.

A Game That Reminds Me of the Holidays

12 years ago I got Warcraft III as a gift for Christmas. After I got it I immediately started playing it for the remainder of the holiday break. The game experience was so awesome for me that for the last few years around the holidays I have wanted to play Warcraft III again. Somehow when the Christmas tree goes up, my mind returns to Arthas epic struggle as a Paladin to Death Knight. I need to aquire Frostmorne and see his turn to a lieutenant of the Undead all the way to becoming their leader. Its just one of those odd things I associate with the holidays.

That all said, a few days ago I dusted off Warcraft III and have started playing though the campaign and have... Read All

It's impressive that you can still buy it new 12 years later for more than bargain bin prices. That's staying power.

I have a similar association with the Spider Man game that came out around the same time as the first movie, but actually based on the comics. I didn't expect to like it, but I was so into it. Every time I'm visiting my parents for Christmas, the music pops into my head.

Blizzard games seem to keep Dat price tag for longer than most. Plus they are still fun, years later.

Diablo II Battle Chest: $19.99 on Amazon. That game came out in 2000.

Yep. People still playing it too. I never really fell for Diablo 2, but it still has a pretty large following.
