Blizzard is focused on releasing two titles next year: "StarCraft 2" and "World of WarCraft: Cataclysm." Unfortunately for action RPG fans, "Diablo 3" is not in the cards. In an interview with Techland, Blizzard executive VP of game design, Rob Pardo, said, "I think it’s safe to say that, yeah, ['Diablo 3'] is not going to be out next year."

Metallica already has their own "Guitar Hero" game on shelves, but legendary metal heads have their eyes on the iPhone and iPod touch as well. Now they'll be staking a out space in Apple's App Store with "Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica" a spin-off of the high-profile series of mobile music games, with a greatest-hits-style lineup of tracks like "Enter Sandman" and "One," as well as a few other features for keeping tabs on the band that effectively make it a Metallica news app to boot. Check out the complete track list after the jump.

Disney's new surrealist surprise "Epic Mickey" keeps trickling peeks and info out into the Internet, and this week's big reveal is the much-hyped retro design treatment for the game's title mouse. While Disney villains in the game appear to be getting a stripped-down, animatronic steam-punk look, Mickey's design goes back to his early animation roots.

Activision has teamed up with Monster Energy Drinks to bring you a new kind of energy drink experience: The "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" Energy Power Maxxtreme 2. Actually I just made that title up, but you would totally drink that, wouldn't you? Truth be told, it's really just a re-branding of the Monster packaging with some "Call of Duty" thrown on there. But there is a benefit for fans apart from all-night, heart-racing gaming sessions.

The above pic isn't from "DJ Hero," but the below pic most certainly is. An inside source offered up a very slick looking promotional shot for "DJ Hero," which may have never seen the light of day had it not been for his or her tireless efforts. Like the A-Team, he or she has asked to remain anonymous, and we respect his or her need to right the world's wrongs from the shadows.

After taking a vacation through 3D gameplay in titles like "Sonic Unleashed" and "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games," Sonic the Hedgehog will be getting back to his roots in 2010. In a move credited to fan demand for a new 2D Sonic game, Sega has announced that he'll lose the third dimension and pick up hi-def graphics for his next game appearance, currently dubbed "Project Needlemouse."

We're deep in the heart of convention country this time of year, surrounded on all sides by QuakeCon, PAX, Games Com and, of course, BlizzCon, which is going down in Anaheim on this Friday, running through the weekend.
Rumors have already started spreading about the content of BlizzCon 2009, but apparently you guys aren't quite ready to get kicked in the gnomes quite yet, as there wasn't a whole lot of support for today's Twitter poll, asking what you're hoping to see out of BlizzCon 2009.
Personally, as much as I enjoyed "StarCraft," and as much as I appreciate how slick "Wings of Liberty" is looking, I've always been more of a "Diablo" guy. I'm not looking for a 2009 release date or anything, but some inkling that we'll be hacking and slashing sometime before next fall would be nice. Or, you know, a new race announcement, which seems more likely.
Oh, yeah, and it's probably about time for another "WoW" expansion. "World of WarCraft: Cataclysm" seems to be the likely fit, but hey, we've been duped before!

The 14th annual QuakeCon is off and running, and it appears there's going to be quite a bit to keep id Soft-lovers happy over the coming days. Just got in the official list of events and announcements, and it's packed to the gills with enjoyable stuff. Most interesting, though, is the amount of Bethesda stuff. Even though the ink is still fresh on Bethesda's purchase of id, there's still going to be a heavy presence from the publisher.
Check out the full list of events and announcements below:
Booting up your Xbox 360 today will result in an automatically downloaded update. Don't be alarmed, it's normal and it happens to a lot of people.
The download is the much-anticipated (though not quite as epic as expected) dashboard update, which includes a variety of usability improvements to Xbox Live. Here are some of the highlights:

You’ve got to hand it to Microsoft. In the weeks leading up to E3, the discussion surrounding the house of X was focused on precisely what they didn’t have. Where was their fall line-up? Where were the exclusives that have defined the console? Microsoft had them and then some.
Opening your show with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr instead of closing with them is the probably the most impressive show of corporate confidence in history. With the reveal of Project Natal, Microsoft’s new hands-free controller-camera, the house of green showed that this was no mere act of baseless hubris. They came to play.
