Diablo III's real money auction house, which in case you're just joining us refers to a place you can use actual cash to buy and sell in-game equipment, has been delayed again, and this time Blizzard isn't saying when it'll be ready.
For the first 20 levels or so, Diablo III is like skiing down a gently sloping hill, one you’d label whatever comes before “green” at an actual resort. I’ve been worried about this for 20 levels now. I’ve also been a little bored.
Surprise, Diablo III sold to the moon and back since its release last week on Tuesday, May 15, says developer/publisher Blizzard in so many words.

Diablo III on a MacBook Air? I know, it’s like asking Steve Rogers to fight the Red Skull before guzzling the super serum, what with the Air’s low-speed Intel CPU and anemic Intel integrated 3D graphics. Still, other players had me hopeful enough to give it the old college try.
I’d rather talk about playing Diablo III, but since I’m working on a poky-band smartphone connection that makes playing much of anything online a lurching debacle, let’s talk about Diablo III‘s always-on requirement, or digital rights management, or hacker-repellent — or just “Blizzard’s albatross,” as I’m sure some of you would rather it be called.

Have a spare vacation day? Good, because tomorrow, May 15, is the day that two eagerly awaited sequels are being released: Diablo III and Max Payne 3. Let’s take a look at each one and help you decide whether either one (or both) are worth your hard-earned money.

It’s finally happened, after years of nail-biting and speculation — Diablo III arrives on May 15 pretty much worldwide for Windows and Mac-based computers. The price: $60. Let your loved ones know, warn your employers and clear your schedules, folks.
