Superannuation is reporting that Blizzard filed three trademark registrations for the title "Cataclysm". What is it? Nobody knows for sure yet, but the trademark did indicate that it covers "computer games, paper-based products (comic books, trading cards, coloring books), and online games." Sounds like they're getting ready to build a merchandising empire with this one.

The fans are not pleased with Blizzard's decision to not have LAN multiplayer in StarCraft II. And as with any other dissatisfied fans, they went online and created a petition to convince Blizzard to do otherwise.

Planning a LAN party to celebrate the launch of StarCraft II (whenever that is)? You can still do that, but you'll all have to be connected to Battle.Net first. Blizzard has confirmed that the upcoming RTS game will not support LAN play to further build up Battle.Net as the multiplayer solution for their games. That, and to combat piracy.

If you've got qualms about the StarCraft II delay, blame it on WoW. Speaking to Eurogamer, the guys at Blizzard reveal that the reason we've been waiting so long for StarCraft II is because World of Warcraft held it up. Details after the jump.

The title says it all really. Hopefully we'll get in on the StarCraft II multiplayer action later this year. Check out the video after the jump..

So earlier we reported about the threat  issued by Activision Blizzard Boss Bobby Kotick to Sony about the possible pullout of his company to publish games on the PS3 and the PSP if Sony does not cut the price of the PS3 and reduced its licensing fees. An SCEE representative then gave a short response about the matter but refused to comment any further. Well here comes Playstation spokesman Patrick Seybold to the rescue.

Activision Blizzard President and CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement earlier that he plans to abandon Sony's PS3 and PSP platforms unless Sony drops the PS3's price and reduced its licensing fees. Sony's reaction: we're not reacting on that one.

We've been hearing quite a number of updates on StarCraft 2 - which is fully fine and understandable, precisely because its beta is scheduled for this summer. But what of the other blockbuster title we're also waiting for? You know, Diablo III? It's time to refresh those  memories with the aid of these scrumptious screenshots released by Blizzard. Check them out after the jump.

We all know that the StarCraft II beta is all set to run this summer, although we do not know a specific date for it yet. Now thanks to an email sent out by Blizzard this weekend, we now know that it's near -- very near.

Sony is taking credit for the existence of the hottest MMORPG around, World of Warcraft, saying that had it not been for their Everquest, WoW would not have existed to wow the gaming world as it does today. Lead designer Ryan Barker shares some choice words on the matter.
