Having been a fan of the series since the release of the original Diablo, I couldn't wait to pick up Diablo 3 for the PS3. With most of PC gamers complaints about the game addressed by the developers, Diablo 3 for the Playstation 3 is thus far the most complete and well crafted version of the game. As ever, Blizzard's story telling is spot on, throwing straight into the thick of things. As a falling star crashes into the town of New Tristram, you arrive in time to help search for the landing site and uncover why the dead are rising from their graves. The game play follows the same tropes as previous games in the series, with a top down isometric view and hordes of undead things to slaughter and loot from. Character classes return with some new additions and playing them on a console with the analogue sticks is a pleasurable, and in some cases easier experience. As always with a Diablo game, looting is a huge part of what will make you keep coming back for more with a seemingly never ending treasure trove of weapons and armour waiting to be found and equipped. The level and creature design are superb, with sound effects such as sword slicing or demonic creature roars being just as amazing. With the console version comes a welcome addition of on the sofa co op game play, a feature missing from most games released recently. It is amazing to sit down with your friends and have them jump in or out of the game at will, with the game saving their characters for the next time they want to jump back in. The game looks great as well, although the frame rate can suffer when there are too many creatures on screen but this is something I haven't come across too often. Diablo 3 is an amazingly detailed and engaging experience that's well worth the asking price. It's a must have for fans of the series and a definite recommendation for newcomers.

Excellent game, very enjoyable, very addictive and love the online options!
