I read that, its really too bad. I know there are other games who are having their servers shutdown also.

But any post involving Holy Grail is good

Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 3, Mirrors Edge, Motor Storm, Resistance 2, Rock Band 2, Soul Calibur 4, Valkyria Chronicles

Well just like starting up a small business, most will fail.

As for Hellgate, it suffered greatly from lack of polish (too many bugs etc.) and lack of content to justify a monthly fee.  Put it next to a free-online game such as Guild Wars and Hellgate just doesn't make the grade.
