GameSpy - Should Diablo III have been first person?
I'll admit it. My first ever hands-on time with any Diablo game occurred just 24 hours ago, when my inexperienced Demon Hunter took his first fumbling steps into the Diablo III beta's dark and ominous dungeons. It took just three hours before I'd hacked and slashed my way to the main storyline's satisfying conclusion, but in that short period of time my eyes were opened to an entirely new perspective on a gaming world. As a lover of first person games, the isometric camera system in Diablo III felt very unfamiliar, and I inevitably wondered why Blizzard didn't make the leap to first person like so many other developers. This led me to wonder - should Diablo III have been a first person game, and what are the pros and cons of this approach? Let's find out.

How do you get to be a gaming "journalist" yet have not used iso before?
Thisexplainsconfirms a lot.
Wasn't there someone on here awhile back talking about how good gaming journalism is these days? And that just because they're young, doesn't mean they don't know the scene?
Oh yeah, here we go.
Yeah, that was funny. Especially since he's yet to give a single link to that mythical 25 year old writer who knows anything about games. (beyond the inevitable "DOOD! CALL OF DUTY IS TEH SHIT, BRAH!"
