I wrote earlier that I tried Diablo III open beta. I decided to buy the game. Now I have "long" wait before the game is published. In the meantime I have been playing DayZ mod. It is the best Zombie survival game that I have played so far! There are still many bugs but it's been good fun so far.
I am not yet sure what class I will first choose for Diablo III. I tried every class during open beta. All of the classes were fun in their own way. Most likely I will start with Barbarian. Diablo is hack&slash game and Barbarian is made for that. Release date for Diablo III is May 15, 2012.

Day Z - Zombie invasion
Try to survive in an environment filled with Zombies and human players (many of them hostile). This is new mod called DayZ for Arma 2: Combined Operations. Everyone can kill you and when you die you will lose everything and you will need to start over.
Did I mention that when you start you don't have map, compass or even watch. You get a pistol and tap on the back. This is Zombie survival at its best!
Here is an instruction how to play this mod (Steam version).
1. You will need install ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead (and buy if you don't have them). ARMA II: Combined Operations includes both of the games.
2. Start both games once to make sure that everything is working (when the menu appears you can close the game,)
3. Make a folder named "@DayZ" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead. Make a folder called Addons inside @DayZ folder.
4. Dowload all of the DayZ Mod files into the folder you just created. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons\. Don't download the files in "old/" folder
5. Extract the files you downloaded. Use for example free 7-Zip. Use "Extract here" option.
8. Go to Steam and right click, properties, set launch options on ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead
9. Insert "-mod=@dayz -nosplash" and click OK
10. Open Operation Arrowhead and select to "Launch ARMA 2: Combined Operations"
If everything went ok you should see "@dayz" under "ArmA 2" on the right side of the screen. Select multiplayer and find the DayZ servers. Enjoy, be scared, frustrated, mad, happy and/or terrified!
P.S. It takes sometimes long to get into a server. The mod is in alpha state so except bugs and cliches.
If you got error message: "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted." there is a problem with the installation. Make sure that the files were extracted to folder X:\Folder you installed Steam\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons\
