Diablo II: Lords of Destruction

Tom's Review: I have to wonder if it's a good thing when a game that sucks away hundreds of hours actually gets better. Do I want to facilitate the Squandering of Time? And with a new act, new items, new classes, new interface tweaks -- in other words, Things I Really Have to Try --do I have a choice in the matter? "The Diablo II expansion is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

Mark's Review: I've played this game so much that my mouse-button finger is sore. Really sore. And my wife has no sympathy for me and refuses to pop open my beers because I've suffered nerve damage from playing "that damned game" as she refers to it instead of sacrificing my pointing finger while potting geraniums or building an addition onto the house or something horrifying like that. Is this a review? Maybe. Is Lord of Destruction a game? No, it's more like a lifestyle.
