Hearthstone - the collectible card game that could convert you
Blizzard's Warcraft-themed Magic rival is no Lost Vikings, but it might be the next best thing.
As a rule of thumb, I don't like cards, unless they're against humanity or possibly involve chips. I never played Magic: The Gathering or collected sports figure memorabilia, and always managed to quietly sneak out of any room where gin rummy was being played. I've also never played World of Warcraft.

Diablo 3 on consoles: hell or high water?
Jeffrey plays the PS3 game at PAX and finds that one man's loot is another man's soot.
Diablo 3 on PS3 and PS4 is a pretty big deal for Blizzard, as it marks the first time in two decades that the wildly popular strategy and MMO developer has made a game for consoles (not counting a couple of ports made by third parties). As such, it seems to be targeting a different market: one that prefers a more action-focused, one-to-one, button-to-attack approach over the more distant experience of lording it over your avatar with a mouse.
