Must say this was an interesting week filled with demons, zombies, bullet time and then some. Chock full of links, videos and images of last week’s top stories from the week that was.

The Day of Error 37
Diablo III hits stores and millions of players were plagued with the notorious “Error 37” that prevented many from logging in the game.

Closing Time – The final DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2 has been announced
On Wednesday May 16th, 2012, the last DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be available and will include two new episodes entitled: Snow’s Story: Perpetual Battlefield and “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess”. In a nut shell, “Snow’s Story” has Snow “engaged in battles at the Coliseum after being separated from [Serah].” Playing through this episode unlocks Snow as a party member. Similiarly, playing through “Lightning’s Story” also unlocks a Final Fantasy XIII-2 version of Lightning to add to your party. However, since this episode touches upon the main story line, basically the battle between Lightning and Caius, you’re highly encouraged to play the game prior to playing through “Lightning’s Story”.
