Diablo 3 - Hands On, Videos @ Shacknews

Describing their lasting impression of Diablo III as one of "absolute pleasure", Shacknews has a writeup from some hands-on time at Blizzcon:

Inside the ruined church, zombies of every sort rambled out of their holes, as is expected in a Diablo game. The difference now is that there is more variety to the combat, in every respect. Ogres wait inside small culverts, bursting forth in ambush. As you fight, the environment is destroyed all around you, providing a great sense of total carnage.

In fact, as laser-focused as the original Diablo games were in the realm of combat, I dare say this sequel has appropriately been improved in that arena. Playing as the Barbarian, slamming zombies with crushing Bashes and axe strikes, the screen shakes violently. 3D zombies are hewn apart in a way that 2D sprites couldn't be, bloody spraying everywhere. Even leveling up causes a huge explosion, rocking the area.

They've also got around 5 minutes of gameplay videos, showing off the newly revealed Wizard class (and check out the official site update, as well, with 5 streaming videos of Wizard spells).

Thanks, Kris!
