‘Diablo III’ Problems — Server Downtime, Log-In Issues Reported
As far as introductions go, Diablo III had a rougher time than we did in our atomic wedgie-filled first day of high school. Blizzard's PC lootfest came out Tuesday, cursed with overloaded servers and a bug that ended the games of some players lucky enough to actually play the game.
GameFly Fantasizes About Tearing GameStop Stores Apart
A little friendly rivalry keeps things spicy, but a seething, bitter grudge makes for real entertainment. GameFly steps things up a few notches in its game-trading grudge match with GameStop with a new commercial. Actors thrash an unnamed, extremely GameStop-like retail store, enraged over the fact that the clerk is only offering them $9 for their used game.
‘Silent Hill: Book of Memories’ Shelved Until October
Back in March, Konami planned on hitting us with a three-hit Silent Hill combo. But then things didn't go quite according to plan, with the new release Silent Hill: Downpour and the remake anthology Silent Hill HD Collection both garnering mediocre reviews and likely disappointing sales.

‘Lego Lord of the Rings’ Game On the Way? Sure, Why Not
At this point it should come as no surprise that any fantasy franchise is getting Lego-fied. After Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean have taken plastic brick form, it was only a matter of time until The Lord of the Rings followed suit.
Hybrid Ferrari Is Revving Out Of Concept Stage And Into Our Car Dreams
Leave it to Ferrari to make the hybrid car phenomenon seem more panties-dropper than tree-hugger. The Enzo, which is totally into pulling a three-way with gas and electric power, always seemed like one of those concept cars that was more of an oddball pet project of some self-indulgent engineer than something that would ever pull up next to us on the road.
