SCREENSHOTS

 


T
he StarCraft II developers just released beta versions of three new Blizzard-crafted custom games made using the versatile map editor. These three mods offer players a variety of inventive twists on the gameplay of StarCraft II:

  • StarJeweled — A puzzle/strategy game in which you must match gems of like colors to unleash your forces across the battlefield.


  • Left 2 Die — A co-op survival/strategy scenario in which you and a friend play as a group of terrans trying to hold out against swarms of zerg by night… before venturing outside of your fortifications to eradicate the infestation by day.



  • Aiur Chef — An eight-player free-for-all in which you race to collect the special ingredients needed to cook the most delectable dishes of the Koprulu Sector.

The beta versions of these mods are now available to all StarCraft II players as free downloads on Battle.net. For more details or to learn how to try out the beta versions now, click the link below.

T
he demons of the Burning Hells use a variety of insidious tactics when battling the heroes of Sanctuary. Some charge head-on into combat, while others dart through the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. Some hurl bolts of dark magic from afar, while others summon hordes of lesser minions to do their dirty work for them.

To learn more about the challenges you'll face when fighting the fiends of Diablo III, check out the new Encounters article on the Diablo III website. It details several of the tricks and tactics you'll come up against throughout the game — and serves as a primer for would-be demon-slayers preparing for Diablo III.
