PC Version of Trine PatchedNovember 05th, 2009 at 8:19 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

US PlayStation owners may have just gotten their hands on Trine, and it might need a patch, but PC owners have had the game for a good four or five months now.  Southpeak has released a patch for the retail edition of the game bringing it to version 1.05 and it fixes a variety of bugs.

Most of the fixes are for bugs, but there's a few technical optimizations to make the gameplay experience a lot smoother.

Operation Flashpoint 2 Skirmish Mode DLC Announced, Title Update TooNovember 04th, 2009 at 12:50 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Codemasters has made good on their promise, and officially announced the first content pack for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.   The pack is called the Skirmish pack and features two new cooperative missions for four players as well as four new maps for competitive play.  There's also a new sandbox mode called Island Tour which can be played cooperatively.

 The new co-op maps are called All Round Defence, which looks to be a survival mode type map with support and attack helicopters as players defend a fortified complex against waves of PLA; and Uphill Struggle has players trying to capture a bunker under heavy fire from hillside reinforcements.

Yes, Lilith's phase walk now works correctly.

Steam Adds Native Windows 7 SupportOctober 29th, 2009 at 7:18 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

If you're a fan of Steam and happen to be running Microsoft's recent Windows 7 operating system, you're in for a treat.  The latest Steam update adds full native Windows 7 support for features like jump lists and process bars.

What does that mean?  Seen above you'll have quick access to recent games, mostly co-op ones in my case, quick online tasks as well as one click access to all the tabs.  The best part is Steam doesn't need to be running to take advantage of these features.  Finally while Steam updates, the task bar icon will show the progress in real time.  Suddenly your Left 4 Dead and Dawn of War 2 sessions got a whole lot easier.

Xbox 360 System Update adds WPA2 Wireless SupportOctober 29th, 2009 at 8:18 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

You may have received a system update when firing up your Xbox 360 console last night, but don't get excited, it isn't THE update.  You know, the one with Twitter, Facebook, and Last.FM support.  

Instead the update is for users of the Xbox Live Wireless Adapter.  It adds WPA2 encryption support to it's settings allowing for more compatibility with home networks.  We have to think that releasing such a small and minor update now, means the widespread release of the bigger update is still a few weeks away.  

"All Hallow's Eve" in Gears of War 2 This WeekendOctober 26th, 2009 at 5:20 PM by Marc "DjinniMan" Allie


"Ain't no candy here, ugly!"

Sounds like Epic is *ahem* GEARING up for a fun Halloween.  The Gears of War 2 "All Hallow's Eve" event begins Friday morning, and will likely keep you glued to your Xbox 360 all weekend.  The fifth title update for the game is available today, fixing some bugs and exploits.  This weekend, XP earned in competitive multiplayer (the tricks) and Horde mode (the treats) will be doubled, allowing you to earn those achievements and the respect of your peers just that much faster.

Horde mode won't be the same ol' thing, though.  How does "more Boomers" strike you?

'Splosion Man Title Update and Avatar Awards are LiveOctober 26th, 2009 at 3:34 PM by Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin

We love 'Splosion Man. We really do. Good for a lazy weekend or tough-Achievement-gathering, this gem from indie dev Twisted Pixel had one major flaw in our eyes: online co-op laaaaag.

Devs to the rescue! Not only does today's title update supposedly fix this issue, it also finalizes support for Xbox Live Avatar Awards, such as virtual t-shirts. This update has been a long time coming, but we're glad for it. Don't forget to use the meetup forum to test out the online co-op!

Madballs Updated on Steam with new Achievements and ContentOctober 19th, 2009 at 8:53 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

The PlayBrains folks have sent along word that Madballs in...Babo Invasion has been updated on the PC and now includes some spiffy new content.  Two new weapons have been added to the game; the B*D*I* Slicer and the Scored Striker.  Both weapons are primarily for multiplayer, but may be used in the game's co-op mode.

Along with these weapons there are five new achievements available, though every one is for the game's versus mode.  Finally, the good news for PC players, is dedicated server support for the game!  There's even a link to download your own dedicated server and host your own ballin' parties.

Operation Flashpoint 2 DLC and Title Updates PlannedOctober 16th, 2009 at 12:27 PM by Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin

In our review of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising this week, we made mention of some glitches and the lack of weapon customization, and also the scarcity of multiplayer maps (only two maps per each of two modes). Codemasters is working on all of these bullet points already, citing title updates and planned downloadable content. 

We’ve got some very ambitious plans with DLC – our first pack is coming up in a matter of weeks. We’ll also have title updates coming up because once the game’s out there, we’ll need to get feedback from the people who are playing it, and if need be make a few adjustments and tweaks.

This was from Sion Lenton, executive producer at Codemasters, during an interview with the Telegraph. According to him, weapons or maps -- or both -- are coming down the pipe in a matter of weeks.

`Splosion Man Title Update is Live, Contest is Soon, PAX Goodies for SaleSeptember 01st, 2009 at 9:00 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

If you're fixing for some Splodin, you might notice a title update when `Splosion Man fires up.  Great you're thinking, finally the avatar awards and fixed lag issues are taken care of.  Sorry, no awards here, no lag fix to see.  Instead the update fixes a leaderboard exploit and clears off some cheaters who abused it to get obscene high scores.  This might be why your co-op score pales in comparison to quite a few people out there.

The leaderboard clearing application, called Splodenet, is quite an amazing piece of software.  Just take what its designer had to say.
