A community portal about Blizzard Entertainment with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Blizzard Entertainment is an American PC game developer and publisher. Since its release of Warcraft in 1994, it has been one of the most successful game development studios in the world. Its headquarters are based in Irvine, California. The company has a history of largely overshooting release dates, to ensure the quality of their games.
