Oh, hey, Metro: Last Light. Forgot you were there, tucked away in the memory slot reserved for games I look forward to playing in 2013. How are BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, and the mystery debut from Respawn Entertainment doing? Tell ’em I said, “Sup.” Man, there’s a bunch of you in there now, huh? Glad you decided to poke your head out, lest you wind up in the much less spacious memory slot reserved for games I once looked forward to playing. Lemme see what you’ve...

UPDATE 2: It looks like the problem was a bit tougher to suss out than Blizz thought. Servers will be under until 1:30 p.m. PST. Annnd… make that 3:30 p.m. PST. This is not looking good.
UPDATE: Looks like Blizzard is doing some work to fix the launch problems many of us have faced. According to a post in their forums, they’re doing “emergency maintenance,” which may cause some connection issues. In fact, yup, servers are currently down. They should have everything resolved...

Posted by 1UP on May 14, 2012 | Leave a Comment

For GameStop, this is another way for it to insert itself into the sale of digital...
