Metro: Last Light delayed to first quarter of 2013
Your return to Russia's subway system has been postponed until Q1 2013 (THQ's fiscal Q4). THQ's third-quarter financial earnings report revealed the new launch window for Metro: Last Light, the follow-up to 4A Games' claustrophobic, survivalist shooter from 2010. You can read our impressions of the ...
Metro 2033: Last Light E3 demo continues with underground train caper
When last we left the protagonists of Metro 2033: Last Light, they were knee-deep in the crummiest attempt at stealth ever. In this, the third installment of the game's E3 demo, they've exchanged their feeble sneakiness for far more noticeable acrobatic feats. Also: There's a murder ...
Metro: Last Light E3 demo rallies back for part 2
In the second part of Metro: Last Light's E3 demo, players are treated to what we're sure is a rousing Russian speech. Well, we're sure it's Russian, at least. Some of the rousing appears to be external to the speech. ...
Metro: Last Light preview: Once more, with feeling
THQ's Huw Beynon (that's pronounced "Hugh" by the way) calls last year's Metro 2033 "a flawed masterpiece." The Ukranian-developed shooter somehow managed to over-deliver on some of the rarest components and fail on the most obvious one; a mountain of wonderful flourishes toppled by a clumsy and ...
THQ confirms 'Metro: Last Light' as Metro 2033 sequel
Speaking this evening during an investor conference call, THQ CEO Brian Farrell confirmed that "Metro: Last Light" will be the title of the sequel to last year's gritty FPS Metro 2033. Last month, domain registrations for "Metro2033LastLight.com," "MetroLastLight.com" and "LastLightGame.com" ...
Steam weekend deal: Metro 2033 for $10
There's never been a better time to explore the dilapidated, mutant-infested subway tunnels of Russia's future, as Valve has knocked the price of Metro 2033 down to a measly $10 for the weekend. With savings like that, you could pick up an extra gas mask and some radiation meds. ...
THQ's Bilson: Metro 2033 'wasn't properly nurtured,' sequel to address issues
Last March, Metro 2033 snuck up on our reviewer radar and went on to earn respectable Metacritic scores of 77 on Xbox 360 and 81 on PC among critics at large. Though THQ CEO Brian Farrell characterized the title as "very profitable" for the publisher, it wasn't exactly burning up the sales ...
THQ asks for 'patience' as it tries to solve Metro 2033 DLC Achievement issue
When THQ's Metro 2033 was patched to support the "Ranger Pack" DLC something went wrong with the game's Achievements. The problem was first acknowledged on August 3 and noted as potentially an issue on Microsoft's end as of August 5. A couple weeks back the publisher told Joystiq it was still ...
Metro 2033 update preventing Achievements, THQ 'investigating'
THQ's sleeper subway hit, Metro 2033, was patched recently in support of the "Ranger Pack" DLC, but it appears the update clashed with how the game tracks Achievements. Conflicted reports suggest the patch prevents all Achievements in the game, or simply the ones from the Ranger Pack -- either way, ...
Metro 2033 'Ranger Pack' DLC coming to Steam and XBLM next week
THQ and 4A Games have announced Metro 2033's minimalistic DLC, the "Ranger Pack," will launch on Xbox Live Marketplace and Steam next Tuesday, August 3. The update will allow players to traverse the game in Ranger Mode, which "dramatically" reduces the amount of ammo you'll stumble upon but ...
