The lone news-scavenging wolf strikes again! The New York Times has posted (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/19/arts/19game.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) a collection of small blurb-sized previews of a number of popular E3 titles. Sure enough, on the second page (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/19/arts/19game.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1), Hellgate: London enjoys the spotlight.
Like Too Human for the 360, Hellgate takes many of its cues from Diablo, the archetypal action role-playing game. Unlike Too Human, Hellgate is being made by many of the top people who invented Diablo. Now reconstituted as Flagship Studios, they are making a game that is meant to be a science-fiction, 3D update on the Diablo concept: random dungeons, slot machine-style loot and a fanatical online community.
It looks like this is today's paper, so you collector-types might want to go out and buy a copy. The article is in the Arts section.
