Diablo & Diablo II — Tristram.

The rest of the soundtrack wasn’t exactly bad, just very very subtle and low-key.

Warcraft II.

In honour of Blizzard finally announcing a release date for Diablo III. It’s really something when them getting a game done inside five years is actually something of an achievement.
