I gave Diablo 3 a grumpy review this week, which surprises even me, considering that right after I finished writing that review I went home and played Diablo 3 deep into the night. After having already spent a week of late nights playing the game in order to write the review, you'd think that I would celebrate having finished writing the piece by getting a full night of sleep - but no.

After seeing my (mostly gamer-populated) Facebook feed filling with excitement about StarCraft II midnight launch parties yesterday, I decided to check out my own city's offerings. I headed to the Gamestops at the Prudential and Coolidge Corner and took a few pictures (see above slideshow).
