GameShark | PC | News | 3rd Annual BlizzCon Confirmed

Blizzard has confirmed plans for its third BlizzCon gaming convention, to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on October 10th and 11th. BlizzCon is a celebration surrounding Blizzard’s Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo franchises. In response to the demand to accommodate more attendees, this year’s event has expanded from two convention halls to three.

“Whenever we’ve been able to meet and interact with Blizzard gamers from around the world, it’s been a great experience for us,” stated Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re looking forward to seeing even more of our players at this year’s BlizzCon and delivering another entertaining and informative event for them.”

BlizzCon will offer a wide variety of activities to help all attendees get the most out of the two-day event. In addition to serving as a gathering place for the different Blizzard Entertainment gaming communities, attendees will be able to enjoy features such as a silent auction, hands-on time with upcoming releases, costume contests and more.

This turn-based strategy offering, a remake of sorts of the 2004 game, is a good value at 20 bucks and packs a surprising amount of finger tapping strategy.

The only critical flaw with Mass Effect is the amount of unrealized potential in a game that gives us the first truly great sci-fi RPG in more than a decade that didn't depend on a franchise property. It has action, it has a compelling story and it even has a little heart. It's the type of game that every RPG fan should play.
