Rumors are like wildfire, all it takes is one spark amidst dry grass and suddenly you have an inferno on your hands. Such was the case with the recent Dark Souls 3 rumor that claimed the much anticipated Dark Souls finale would not support 60 FPS on PC, despite this being among the first details revealed a while ago.

After a long delay Diablo 2 has finally received a new patch

Its been a couple of years since I've last played Diablo 2 (mostly due to Path of Exile hijacking my attention) , but I'm sure many will agree that its a game with very few issues to speak of.

But it seems that simply having very few issues isn't good enough for Blizzard as they have just announced the release of Update 1.14a for Diablo 2 which brings with it compatibility improvements and bug fixes. Here's the full list:

Ashes Of The Singularity is officially being released on March 31st

One of the most exciting features of Stardock's upcoming RTS, Ashes of the Singularity, are the battles which can span the entire globe and involve thousands of units at the same time, a feat that hasn't been attempted before.
