BlizzCon 2008: In-depth Diablo 3 hands-on
We were happy just to be able to return to the world of Diablo after seven years since the Lord of Destruction expansion set was on store shelves, and it was worth the wait. Find out everything we could during our exhaustive hands-on after the break, and be sure to check out the galleries below that show off in-game screens and concept art. Plus we're sticking that gameplay footage in again, because it's the only way we can enjoy Diablo until there's a beta, or some sort of miracle occurs.

The incredibly strange and delightful Fallout 3 launch party
Click me to boost the size.
Bethesda is throwing a radiation-hot launch party for Fallout 3 next Saturday in Los Angeles, complete with even more Vault Boy retro graphics. The party features headline music by the Foo Fighters, and it's hosted by Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Odette Yustman, Ben Harper, and it's being co-hosted by the Bethesda / Zenimax board of directors, which includes bigwig producer Jerry Bruckheimer, bigwig CBS president Les Moonves, bigwig MGM president Harry Sloan and and bigwig baseballer Cal Ripken, Jr.
That's an odd mix of folks to kick off this post-apocalyptic video game, but given the current state of the economy, maybe everyone is embracing impending disaster and learning to love the bomb. Joystiq will be on-hand to take photos and collect thoughts about Fallout 3. Plus those frolic-inducing spirits sounds pretty damn goon.

Also included will be a 16-page prequel comic illustrated by Mortal Kombat co-creator, John Tobias, as well as extra videos of some sort. But just look at that cover!?
And if that isn't enough to relieve your wallet of an extra $10, the Kingdom Come artist's work will also be included as a seperate, removable print, which you can watch come to life in the video above while waiting for Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe to drop in from the Outworld this November.

Sakura joins Street Fighter IV's console-exclusive cast
In addition to the previously confirmed Dan and Fei-Long, Joystiq's TGS crew will have a chance to play as two new additions to Street Fighter IV's home-only roster on PS3 and 360: Sakura and Seth, the arcade version's end boss.
Fan-favorite Sakura originally hails from Street Fighter Zero 2 / Alpha 2. She's the second confirmed female character exclusive to the home version; the other is slinky British special-ops officer, Cammy, who was the top choice in a poll on Capcom's site, ensuring her inclusion in the port.
The game's producer, Yoshinori Ono, has reaffirmed to Famitsu that a number of tweaks and fixes he had previously mentioned will make the home version of SFIV a more balanced offering compared to the coin-op. Ono also alluded to other additions for the console port, including a training mode. "It's more of a [Street Fighter] 4.1, you could say," Ono told the magazine.
