It has been rumored for the better part of the week, but now it's concrete. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is coming to PSN, Xbox LIVE, PC and iPhone very shortly. And it's no surprise - the remaster of the first has proven a massive success.
"The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition really resonated with gamers young and old" said LucasArts' President Darrell Rodriguez. "We're adding even more great new features in this sequel and can't wait for classic Monkey Island fans and newcomers alike to experience perhaps the most beloved installment in the franchise ever."

You read right. More server maintenance - this time to add new hardware. A truckload of it, hopefully. The official word from DICE is "Tomorrow, 12th March, and Saturday, 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST, EA will take the servers down, this time we will come up with even more hardware with more capacity to handle all the BFBC2 traffic."
8:00am GMT means 6pm AEST (7pm AEDT) for Australians. It's promised that once completed we will "experience an improvement to your online experience". Let's hope so! Thanks to Joshuayu101 for the heads-up.

For those who didn't know, you haven't missed out quite yet - closed beta sign-ups are still available, but get in quick...
Voodoo Extreme is reporting on a post made in the Multiplay UK forums. VE3D detail that "all GSPs will switch off all public and privately rented Battlefield: Bad Company 2 servers after eight hours of inactivity, in an effort to reduce load on EA's crash-happy master server".
This would mean if you haven't had a single player in an 8 hour period, the server will need to be manually started again. Rather inconvenient. However DICE have responded on the EA UK forums saying "this is inaccurate", followed by this explanation...
Great Idea.

wtf?
I have an idea for some family photos already... might take a few...
