Metro, other THQ games unavailable for Impulse pre-order due to 'uncertainty of delivery'
Pre-orders of the PC download version of Metro: Last Light have been removed from Impulse, GameStop's PC download service. In addition, no other upcoming THQ games are available from the service, though released games can still be purchased."Essentially, due to THQ's current financial situation and uncertainty of delivery, in order to protect our consumers we removed the ability to pre-purchase that specific game," GameStop vice president of public and investor relations Matt Hodges told GameSpot, referring to Metro.Bids for the now bankrupt THQ's assets are due January 22. Either the company will be purchased outright, or its assets will be auctioned starting January 23.Pre-orders of physical versions of Metro and other THQ games, for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, remain active on GameStop.com.

Metro Last Light launch copies include Ranger Mode as 'Limited Edition'
If you pick up Metro: Last Light promptly upon its March release rather than waiting for a free copy from Facebook, you'll be rewarded with some extra stuff. Launch copies of the game will be packaged as a "Limited Edition," with bonus Ranger Mode DLC and a "Ranger" loadout packed in. In the previous game, Ranger Mode meant less ammo and more damage.Starting December 18, you'll be able to pre-order the LE on PS3 through the PlayStation Network – which really calls its limitedness into question – and get a free copy of Homefront and a Metro PSN theme. That's Metro: Last Light, not "Metro" the Microsoft UI, of course.
Metro: Last Light's Genesis trailer is sad, cheer up with free 2033
Metro: Last Light's title is slightly misleading, since there's really nothing "light" about the game at all, at least according to the latest grim, Bible-quoting trailer. Hey, we never liked being happy anyway.Along with that uplifting video, THQ is offering a free Steam key for Last Light's predecessor, Metro: 2033, to each person who "likes" the Metro Facebook page from December 11 - 16, while supplies last. There's only so much room in the THQ digital vault, after all.

Metro: Last Light dev removes multiplayer, focusing resources on single-player
Metro: Last Light will no longer include a multiplayer component when it launches early next year, developer 4A Games announced today on the game's official blog. Multiplayer had previously been revealed soon after the game's 2011 announcement, something the blog notes was "probably a mistake.""Throughout the development of Metro: Last Light a small, dedicated team had been working on a number of multiplayer prototypes," the entry reads. "After E3, we decided to fold this multiplayer team back into the main group and focus 100% of the studio's resources on the single player campaign. As a result, Metro: Last Light will not ship with a multiplayer component." 4A Games believes that the game's single-player campaign is "what the fanbase cares about the most."Whether multiplayer will be added post-launch as DLC or an update is uncertain. "Right now we're 100% focused on the single player campaign and not thinking beyond that. We don't like throwing away work though, it's a project we could potentially return to after Metro: Last Light ships."%Gallery-157492%
Creep through Metro: Last Light's 13-minute gameplay demo
When we visited THQ's E3 2012 private meeting rooms, small-ish areas were cordoned off for intimate engagements with each of the publisher's games: Metro: Last Light, Company of Heroes 2, and Darksiders 2. Rather than seeing the games on the dance club-esque show floor, THQ employees slowly and calmly lead attendees through demos, which certainly helped me to get a better grasp on the finer nuances of each game.I mention this because the Last Light gameplay seen above is what THQ showed during E3, and it was super creepy. Do yourself a favor and snag some headphones, turn out the lights, and watch this alone.
Metro 2033 sales reach 1.5 million
It's no secret that THQ's Metro 2033 "wasn't properly nurtured," but the game's cult status has translated into over 1.5 million sales since its launch in March 2010 across Xbox 360 and PC."[Metro 2033] released to critical acclaim and disappointing sales. The reality is, back then, THQ didn't market the game and we're very aware of that," said Rich Williams, SVP of Global Marketing at THQ, during an investor meeting this morning. "We're absolutely committed to marketing [Metro: Last Light] appropriately."
Metro: Last Light is not a Wii U title for now, THQ confirms
Metro: Last Light is not in development for Wii U, THQ global brand manager Mark Madsen told Digital Spy.Last Light was included in a Nintendo promo reel for the Wii U at E3 last year, a move Madsen said wasn't premature. "No I don't think it was a bit too early [to show the game at E3]," he said. "As we got along in the development process, we just really wanted to focus on what we knew, focus on PS3, 360 and PC."Last Light may not hit Wii U, but if it does "it won't sim-ship with the other SKUs." At the moment THQ and developer 4A Games are unsure about "what we can do to maximise the code for the Wii U," Madsen said.
Metro: Last Light live-action trailer counts down to armageddon
In Metro 2033, we saw the effects of nuclear war 20 years out. In Metro: Last Light's latest trailer, we see that world ending, missiles and all. We'll thankfully have lots of time to prepare for the apocalypse given the game's recent delay into 2013.

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 train.
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.
See two minutes of Metro: Last Light's E3 demo
We know that not all of you have played Metro 2033, which, despite its problems, is still one of last year's best games. We get it. There are absolutely some janky flies in that otherwise delicious soup, and some of you just don't have a strong enough stomach. It's fine. But after watching the above two minutes of pre-alpha gameplay (the first in a three-part series) from follow-up Metro: Last Light, it looks like this may be a stew that you won't be able to resist slurping down. Just look at the physics when Artyom shoots the pot! You can practically feel the soup sloshing out of it! In closing, who's ready for lunch?
