There's little doubt that Blizzard's World of Warcraft can be addictive. Most of you probably know someone addicted to it. But we doubt you know anyone stupid enough to pay $14,000 to kick said addiction. More »World Of Warcraft Faction Changes Go Live

Blizzard's Starcraft was released in 1998. It's sequel, Starcraft II, won't be out until at least 2009. Why the hold-up? Blame World of Warcraft. More »WoW Has Been Down In China For Nearly Three Weeks Now
