Diablo 1 easily ranks in the top 10 games I've ever played. The depressive, dark atmosphere is really unique, something that was lost in the sequel. Sure, there's more content and things to do in Diablo 2, but sometimes less is more, and that's why I prefer the original.
Also, if not for the proliferation of hacks, the freedom of the PvP system is something that is extremely refreshing when compared to all of the rules found in today's games. In theory, the game population could police itself since everyone was free to be as treacherous as they wished.
As for Diablo 3, I'm not really that excited for it. It looks like the art direction has gone the way of World of Warcraft, more in line with the cartoonish style of Diablo 2. Also, I'm not sure what else could be added to the Diablo formula to make for a better experience.
