Blizzard Entertainment announced
that the multiplayer ladders for StarCraft 2 are locked in preparation
for Season
4 of the popular eSports game. This does not mean that you can
no longer log into your Battle.net account and play multiplayer matches
on the
ladder. You can still take full advantage of Blizzard’s matchmaking
system to
find players around your own skill level. What this does mean is that
you can
no longer move between leagues or divisions in the current Season 3
ladder.

regulatory bodies for approval, and the British Board of Film
Classification
(or BBFC) has announced that a collector’s edition of Diablo 3 has
passed
through their process with no cuts to content required.

Mainstream media has a short memory and Steve Jobs is mostly being remembered for his work creating recent Apple products like the iPad. Gamers are likely to remember Steve for the many hours of play spent on the Apple II, or Macbook laptops, and even big blue G3 towers (with round mice that had one giant button). These brought us endless joy with games by Mac-friendly publishers like Blizzard and Bungie. Our PC department shares some of these Mac Gaming Memories:
