Fat Princess Fixes, New Map Coming Soon

Fat Princess New Pork City Map Screen

I haven’t touched Fat Princess since I made the switch to the PS3 Slim. It has nothing to do with the actual game, but the fact that all online statistics are tied to your game save which cannot be moved between consoles. The news that the game is receiving a major patch and a free new map might have me starting over in my quest to fatten up that royal chick.

Titan Studios has been beta testing New Pork City for a while and it looks like a solid addition to game’s lineup of maps. To go along with the new setting, there will be major gameplay tweaks, character balancing, and scoring updates. It’s too much to list right here, so hit the jump and check out all the changes.

The patch is coming soon, so keep firing up your copy of Fat Princess and see if you can download all the new goodies.

Call of Duty: World at War Gets Patch and Free New Map

Call of Duty 5 Screen

Calling all CoD:WaW players, Activision is dropping some free content on your today. A new daytime varient of the Makin map is included in today’s patch, which fixes all kinds of stuff.

While free content is great, it’s not like Activision is really blowing the doors off with this. While a new lighting variant changes the gameplay a bit, it doesn’t provide a totally new setting.

If you want to see all the changes from the patch today, head on over to the Call of Duty site.

New Halo 3 Map Cold Storage Screens

Halo 3 Cold Storage Screen 1

Bungie let loose two new screens of the upcoming Halo 3 map Cold Storage. The map was debuted at a recent MLG event and looks pretty cool. It’s a remake of Chill Out from Halo: Combat Evolved (yeah, the first one). At this point, I’m not sure I’d buy more Halo 3 maps. I haven’t really played much in a long time with all the other great games that have come out.

Check out the second screen after the jump.

Army of Two Getting Free DLC

Army of Two 1

Are you playing Army of Two? I think most people have moved on to bigger and better things, but some of you still might be co-oping your way to greatness. According to Unscripted 360, EA Montreal will be bringing a pair of campaign maps our way for the cool price of nothing.

Free maps is always a plus and I think will be received well. It might even pull gamers back from GTA4 or Call of Duty for some more gold coated guns. You know you want that bling.

Halo Map Recreated in Unreal Tournament 3

DM-Wizard Map

The great modder Zubren has done the unthinkable. Well, I’m sure a lot of us thought of it, but none of us had the skills to actually do it. Zubren recreated the Halo map Wizard in Unreal Tournament 3.

This is a remake of the Halo map named Wizard. This was a great close quarters map and I felt it would be right at home with Unreal Tournament 3. This also has full bot pathing so you can play singleplayer without having to find a server with someone hosting this map.

The modding community around UT3 is exploding rapidly with some great content. This one is available for both the PC and PS3, so get downloading.
