The closed beta for Diablo III Beta kicked off a bit earlier today, granting a lucky few access to an early build of the much-anticipated dungeon crawler from Blizzard.
Here’s a couple of videos to show you what greets players when they first log in (below) and what the first 10 minutes or so of the Witch Doctor’s beta play looks like (above).

I liked roaming open moors and deserts in D2, exploring and uncovering the map.
