Even though Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released in June of last year, a few achievements-related bugs remained unfixed on the Xbox 360 version of the game… until now. Or well, in a few months. On their Facebook page, developer Terminal Reality announced that a patch for the multiplayer achievement glitches has been tested and is waiting to be deployed onto hard drives everywhere. Although the patch merely needs to be approved for distribution via Xbox Live, Terminal Reality believes that it will be released in this fall when the 360 will receive a firmware update.

If anyone playing Divinity II has had trouble with a certain quest dubbed “Charlie the Goblin,” allay your fears because Larian Studios has you covered.  The patch for this, and a few other minor bugs, should be available on Xbox Live right now.  Just start the game and access the update and you can play worry free.  Well, unless there’s another bug or two.  Then you can play worry-abated.  This is an Xbox Live only patch, so bugged players on the PC will either have to wait or are likely playing an already patched game.

Anyway, not much else to this news post.  Go kill/save Charlie already. And keep checking back at Spawn Kill for my upcoming review of Divinity II: Ego Draconis.

The FPS, Darkest of Days, released in September, has just released updates and a level-editor for the PC version of the game.

The game updates consist of “Instant Action” gameplay that allows players to choose their favorite weapons and travel back to past missions with the weapons of their choice. The update also included support for fourth and fifth mouse buttons, a mouse smoothing option, fixes for hardware specific OpenAL and ATI crashes, and new PhysX system software.

NBA Live 10 stepped up their game this year, as you can see in our review. With improved gameplay, graphics and presentation, EA has got the NBA Live series back on track and competing with the 2K series. Though the game was greatly improved from last year’s title there were some issues that held the game back. Some of these issues were addressed in the recent patch released today on the Xbox 360 and set to release on October 29^th on the PS3. The patch brings back the Backdown button, disabled the turnaround jumpshots when the player is outside 18 feet, improves reactions to loose balls, fixed some ball physics bugs and thankfully fixed the excessive turnovers in the paint. Check out the full list of gameplay enhancements and bug fixes.

Check out the list below of the very long list of fixes and updates that just went out.

The PlayStation 3 version of Ghostbusters has received a patch that allegedly increases the resolution to match that of the Xbox 360 version. The PS3 version of Ghostbusters suffered from performance problems and a lower resolution than the 360 version, but Atari claims to have fixed those issues with this patch. The patch also includes localization fixes and a fix for the PS3 Trophies because of a problem that prevented American and Europeans players from unlocking certain Trophies when playing with each other.

Atari says the patch is available today… so if it available, go ahead and grab it so your Ghostbusters experience isn’t as inferior anymore.

As some of you might already know, the first DLC pack for FN Round 4 was released today for the Xbox 360. For all you PS3 fans, you will have to wait till August 6th for the new content. The add-on will be available via the Xbox Marketplace for FREE! That’s right people, you can enjoy all the new Fight Night stuff free of charge. But don’t get too excited because the DLC doesn’t include a whole lot.

Okay I know many of you weren’t playing Halo Wars after you bought it thinking it was the next big shooter, but for those of you who are still playing it there are some nice changes coming to the console RTS. Many of the changes will help balance the game and hopefully reduce rushes that almost always occur in online matches. The best changes, in my opinion, are reducing Warthog Gauss cannon damage, increasing the health and damage dealt by turrets, and when self-destructing a building it now gives points to the opponents. The damage decrease of the Gauss Hogs and increase damage of turrets should help with the rushing issue. Giving points to opponents when self-destructing a base will allow players to get more points per match and allow them to rank up much quicker.

I would still like to see some tweaks to the Covenant units and their leader powers but I guess we’ll have to wait for the next update for that. I think the changes will force some players to come up with a different strategy and hopefully give everyone a better online experience. The patch is set to be released in the next couple of weeks, check out the full list of changes below.

Why is it that now-a-days no one can release a game that actually works out of the box?  The recent release of EA’s celebrated franchise sequel, The Sims 3, was no different.  After dodging the DRM bullet, the highly anticipated game was riddled with mediocre reviews by disheartened fans.  Among the complaints?  Several bugs that hampered gameplay.  Well, now you can fix that with a new patch.

The patch fixes several issues, including improving the speed of “Speed 2″ and “Speed 3,” which many had complained caused the game to progress agonizingly slow.  Additionally, this fix supposedly enables you to actually use the Turn Story Progression Off button, which means you don’t have to worry about your precious families being deleted by the game’s maliciously cruel AI. Without the patch, apparently this feature doesn’t work, causing you to lose families if you left their household.

No more super jumping on top of the plane in Dead Air. Pack an extra set of shotgun shells, ’cause the Tank ain’t havin’ it! Valve has issued a patch for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead today. Tanks beef up their strength by taking less damage from the auto-shotgun rape parties. And stop meleeing me now, I can pounce you anyway! Small HUD changes and other exploits have been taped up now, to keep out the exploit-y bunch.
