Fable III is out and about and it looks like a lot of fun. If I could wrestle the controller away from my fiancé then I might be able to give the game a go. Until that time I’ll have to just watch from the sidelines and sulk. That or I could wait for one of the game’s bugs to …

Fallout: New Vegas has been plagued with some horrible bugs and glitches since its release last week, leaving a very bitter taste in the mouths of many. A PC patch was released over a week ago and now the updates for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are finally available for download over their respective online services. Even though Bethesda Softworks …

Earlier this week, I posted that a patch was in development for F1 2010. What I didn’t know at the time was how badly the game needs a patch after browsing through the Codemasters’ forums. To say some F1 2010 owners are unhappy, is akin to saying World War 2 was a tiny skirmish- a gross understatement. Last Updated: October …

Yesterday saw the release of one of the most anticipated games just about ever, StarCraft II. It’s been a pretty successful launch, particularly considering how unpredictable its platform is. Success! As with all large releases though, it’s not without its flaws, bugs and issues. In inimitable Blizzard fashion though, they’re on it. they’ve also updated the recommended specifications required to …

I was busy browsing around, reading random gaming articles as I’m prone to do when I’m supposed to be working, when I stumbled upon the official known issues list of Borderlands. This list is quite extensive and I was actually shocked to see how many bugs there are on all 3 platforms. This got me thinking… Last Updated: October 28, …

I think we need to add a new category to the gaming awards this year as Need For Speed Shift has been shipped with the most obscure bug ever spotted. Apparently it is possible for your Xbox 360 version of the game to crash while attempting to connect to the PlayStation Store… now either EA are telling us that Sony …

While a lot of us have been enjoying Gears of War 2 this week, there are many fans out there who do not feel the same way.... Pump-Action Peanut Lobber While it becomes pretty obvious from the start that Gears of War 2 is far from perfect in terms of bugs and glitches, the main beef seems to be with the weapon balancing and how the games pace has been slowed down significantly. A lot of "Shotgun Bunnies" as I like to call them, are not happy with the fact that the good ol' shotty has been nerfed (weakened) significantly, especially since the introduction of stopping power has already made it so difficult for shotgun runners to get closer to their enemies.... If you rev up a chainsaw and walk towards someone you can walk through a whole bunch of lancer fire and even a take a couple of shotgun hits without too much issue, leaving the enemy almost defenseless against your incoming saw attack. A glitch in the matrix We have heard that glitches like the "crabwalk" have already been discovered as well as some issues that we have personally experienced with players starting rounds with no weapons in their hands, as well as the inability to select a different one or pretty much make any use of themselves whatsoever. Leave the matchmaking to Cupid With Gears of War 2, Epic also decided to switch from the simple multiplayer and lobby interface of the first game and change over to a matchmaking system not unlike the ones seen in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.... A lot of the fun was had in the fact that there was no real lobby, maps would load up one after the other and everyone was able to have fun playing the game, or enjoy chatting to their friends if they were out for the round.... I am going to assume that the reason that dead people and live people cannot chat to each other after each round is simply a bug and not a choice made by Epic and I hope it gets fixed soon.... Once the host accepts the settings, you sit through another loading screen to get to another lobby, which allows map, character and team selection (no invites can be sent from this lobby).... After the loading is done you are taken into the map but still sit in a lobby waiting for textures (and if needed, bots) to load up as well. After all of that, you then get given a 10 second countdown to the start of the match, as if everyone wasn't ready 2 minutes ago. This new lobby system really breaks the flow of the game and has frustrated some players to no end.... Gears of War 2 is a fantastic game, however there are no doubts there but it has become heavily apparent that Epic needs to make a few major changes to the game if they want the game to be as addictive and successful as the first. While a lot of people played the original Gears of War's multiplayer right up until the day of the sequels release, this weekend, only one week later had a lot of people on my friends list playing other games and even some who had jumped back into Gears of War 1 to get a bit more of the action that they are used to. If Epic are smart, they will listen to their fans because no matter which way you look at it, it is them who will keep the game going strong for years to come. While I personally do enjoy the multiplayer I do have to accept that deep down, it doesn't have the same appeal as the first game and I do kind of wish that they would release a patch to change a couple of things.

To all of you who like me, are putting a great deal of time into Far Cry 2, be warned. Reports are popping up on the internet that a bug in the Xbox 360 version of Far Cry 2 is causing the game to freeze at around about the 62% mark. It is obvious that a ton of frustration can be caused by this bug, so I suggest that you keep your eyes and ears open for news on a patch. At the moment, it seems like the best option is to start saving quite often before you hit that mark so that if the freeze happens, you can start from only a short time before and hope that it doesn't happen again. We will keep our eye on this one and report any news of any upcoming patches, so stay tuned.
