THQ Puts Devil’s Third On Hold

The next from boob loving, finger choking Japanese game developer Tomonobu Itagaki has been put on hold by publisher THQ. Devil’s Third was originally revealed in the summer of 2010 and since then very little information has been released about the game. We do know that it involved a storyline fusing Asian, American and European themes with a sci-fi twist.

THQ has stated that the game will not come out during the first quarter of 2013, meaning that we will have to wait until after April 2013 before we’ll see the game on store shelves.Read More

Blizzard was forced to perform maintenance on Diablo III’s servers at 5:00 Eastern Time this evening and as of the time of writing the game is still down, the game is expected to come back online sometime after 6:30 eastern.Read More
