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.

US gamers who like to rock out in flOw can now download a patch for the game to enable Trophy support. If you still play the game, which I haven’t touched in a very long time, and need to get Trophies to feel better about yourself, fire it up and see what you can get.
The patch should be available for Europe in “next couple of weeks”, according to developer thatgamecompany.
While I applaud developers supporting their titles, I can’t help but think the resources could have been used elsewhere. Trophies are cool, but they aren’t the end-all-be-all that some people make them out to be.

I heart Fat Princess. While the game has been plagued with multiplayer lag and connection issues like a large number of recent PS3 releases, it’s still a damn fun game. Titan Studios whipped up a patch to fix all the problems you’ve been experiencing in a timely manner and it’s now available for you to download. Fire up the game and get her all fixed up.
Our review will be coming shortly for Fat Princess. Could I have reviewed the game prior to the patch? Sure. Do I think waiting a week to give a better representation of the game was a better decision? Yes, I do. Make sure to check back early next week for our full review. Based on the first sentence here, you can get a general feel of how the review will go.

The online team at SOCOM have been hard at work to make Sony’s best military shooter game, well, more playable. Plagued from the onset with bad servers, connectivity, and bug after bug, the game is starting to really take shape and make me want to play it again. Here is all the info for the new patches. 1.5 should be coming our way soon and 1.6 is supposed to be major. Expect a lot of new changes in SOCOM: Confrontation and expect to see me back on when they do.

Firing up MLB 09 The Show on your PS3, you’ll be prompted to download the newest v1.07 patch. Weighing in at 19mb, the patch fixes a couple minor issues.
Most importantly, the patched fixed a bug where replays at the end of the game weren’t working properly (as well as some minor Replay Vault issues). We’re also hearing some Franchise and Road to the Show tweaks, but we’re unable to confirm.
SCEA did not respond by press time to confirm the full contents of the patch.

Have you gotten tired of people cheating, modding, glitching, and just generally being douche bags online in Call of Duty 4? So have Infinity Ward, who apparently haven’t completely given up supporting CoD4 (even though they’ve barely touched the game otherwise).
A new patch is now available to stop people from cheating in the game. How exactly were they cheating? Beats me, I stopped playing a while ago. I know a few of you out there are still addicted, which says a lot of the game. You’ll be prompted for the patch when you fire up the game, so download it and get your experience points the real way. Yeah, I’m talking to you.

I played the shit out of Killzone 2 multiplayer when the game first came out, but I really haven’t touched it since because I got a little bored with it. The game is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but the very limited amount of weapons and zero vehicle support makes the game a little stale.
Some of the big changes of the 57mb patch include being able to invite people from your friends list (finally) and 3 new “Hardcore” rankings being added. Check out the full list of changes here.

No, not Don Mattingly, but it might involve baseball bats.
No, not Don Quixote, but there may be some insanity.
It’s a little bit of both worlds, it’s Don Mode for Godfather II, a free downloadable patch available the day the game is released, that will give players the Don Control multiplayer mode. You’ll have two players as opposing Don’s able to recruit other players and wage war on each other, with their single player in-game currency on the table. A few things that bug me about this are:
- Why a patch on the first day of release?
- Everyone will want to be playing as the Don.
But overall it sounds like a nice twist tying the multiplayer and single player campaign together and throwing a bit of strategy into open-world chaos. Press release is beyond the jump.

You know what? SOCOM launched really bad, but has picked up enormously with some solid patches. The game is a lot of fun now and the gameplay is finally solid. Slant Six is doing a good job with these patches. Version 1.41, dropping Monday, is bringing even more fixes.
- XMB presence – Medley Game information has been abbreviated, displaying all information required to identify the location of the player.
- Late Join ‘Hitch’ improvements – addresses the pause experienced by players when someone late joins a game.
- Navigating Screens With Large Clans – slow down issue fixed
- Increased speed of fade at the beginning of the round.
- Quick Match
- Increased countdown timer in Quick Match Pre Game lobby from 20 to 60 seconds.
- Enabled Quick Match team switching.
- Ranked, Unranked and Unranked Respawn games, each contains 6 different playlists: 3 8vs8 and 3 16vs16 players.
- Claymores can now be detonated when player is in the prone position
Slant Six also did some back end server updates to optimize latency and reduce lag. Overall, it should make for a much more playable game. With the game launching in Europe soon, they need to have it right. The launch was botched pretty good in the US, so Sony needs to do it right in Europe.

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.
