With developers Blizzard specifying that it'll be 'seamless' (which we're assuming means drop-in, drop-out) same screen (rather than split screen) multiplayer, we're already polishing our gauntlets in anticipation. We've long had a soft spot for adventuring games at Everybody Plays (which is part of the reason we were so disappointed with the similar Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale), so the idea of forming a party, bashing some monsters, and exploring the game's expansive world with three friends in tow, all from the comfort of our sofa has us sold.

One of the first shots of the PS3 version. But perhaps what has us the most excited about Diablo 3 is the news that the console versions will be playable in four player, same console co-op.

With five character classes to choose from, that move slightly away from your standard fantasy game fare, you can choose to be a Witch Doctor, Wizard, Monk, Barbarian, or Demon Hunter, each of which comes with their own strengths, weaknesses and special powers. With controls that have been designed to be as easy to use as possible, combined with the addictive levelling, quests, and looting that role playing fans love, Diablo's been designed as one of those games that's easy to pick up and play, but tricky to master. Making its way across from its incredible success on the PC, where it holds the record for being the fastest selling PC game to date, Diablo 3 is a hack-and-slash fantasy role playing game that treads the gap between challenge and accessibility.
