Way back on April 1, 2001, Blizzard released a new screenshot of the upcoming Diablo II expansion, showing off its stunning 800x600 graphics. Ahh, memories.

And it was hosted on PlanetDiablo.com. I was about to snark that no one uses "Planet [GameName]" as a website name anymore, but GameSpy has Planet Unreal, Planet HalfLife, Planet Medal of Honor (the most awkward sounding of the bunch), and probably some more. Snark withdrawn.

Yeah, GameSpy had tons of "Planet Whatever" sites back during that era of the web.

Titan Quest (and TQ Immortal Throne) are great, while waiting for Diablo III.

Nothing ever set a mood like Diablo (I)...I hope they work that magic again.
