WoW Getting Level 30 Mounts

Remember getting your first mount in World of Warcraft? Getting to level 40 and then doing everything in your power to scrape up that 80-90 gold so you could be the guy proudly running past the walking folks in Stranglethorn? Well those days are coming to an end as Blizzard's latest patch notes reveal level 30 apprentice mounts. From the patch notes themselves:

Mounts at 30?! Yes, it's true: Apprentice Riding and mounts are now available at level 30. Training costs 35 gold.

Nice! That stretch between levels 30 and 40 always seemed to go so slow, but this should help alleviate things a bit. Now I've got to get onto the PTR and see what level 30 mounts look like. The 40 mounts already seem pretty sub-par to me, I can only imagine the level 30 ones are missing limbs.

Burnout Paradise 360 Bogart Resurfaces

Well that was certainly one hell of a long week. After Criterion recalled the Bogart patch for Burnout Paradise on the Xbox 360 due to the update causing frame rate issues with the game, the suggested somewhat wishfully that the fixed version would be available the following week. The process wound up taking a bit longer than expected after they submitted it to Microsoft on April 29th, but now it's finally online and working fine. Once again, Bogart is pretty much the patching and bug-fixing update that lays the foundation for the upcoming Cagney, Davis, and Eastwood content packs, which introduce new game modes, motorcycles, and a host of other nifty features to the game.

Latest by The Commissar: @PSWii60-Fanboy: There was this thing called Q&A - when your profits were on the line, strangely, game developers put more of an emphasis on it. Now that they can release now and fix later, corporate suits demanding X as release date more »

Rockstar Readying 360 Bully Patch

Rockstar's Bully: Scholarship Edition came out of the oven a little half-baked, with frequent lock-ups, audio glitches, and a generally poor frame rate severely ticking off gamers and downright horrifying the developers. Thankfully Rockstar was able to overcome the horror and get to working on a fix.
We are very aware of the problems some people have been experiencing with the Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition and have been doing everything within our powers to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. We will be releasing a title update through Xbox Live within the next week that we are confident will rectify the problem. We apologize wholeheartedly for the inconvenience that this matter has caused some owners of the game.
While I'm sure we all appreciate the rapid response, next time try to make sure your game works before selling it to people, 'kay?

game update

The Witcher Gets Enhanced

The best PC RPG of 2007 is about to get better. CD Projekt Red has announced The Witcher Enhanced Edition, an update of the game due out this May that seeks to completely quash any qualms players may have had with the original title - in essence, they listened to our bitching and fixed stuff. Small tweaks like shortening load times and increasing combat accuracy are just the beginning. The English language version of the game has been completely reworked to include text left out of the initial release, while the German version is getting redone voice overs. CD Projekt is adding over 50 new supporting character models to further immersion, with 100 new animated gestures added to make conversation flow more naturally. They've even redone the lip-sync system to make conversing more animated and lifelike. Along with all of the changes, the enhanced version will ship complete with the D'jinni mod editor, allowing you to create and share your own modules in the game, as well as two all new adventures from the dev team. Of course all of the new content will be available for purchasers of the original game in free downloadable form, but if you've not yet experienced The Witcher, May looks like an excellent time to give it a go.

An Update Is Available For This Post

For various reasons I got up very early this morning, and decided to poke around on the PlayStation 3 for a little bit. Download a trailer or something. I power up the system and drat, system update. Ah well, I get that started and switch over to my Wii, figuring I would take Ecco the Dolphin out for a spin. I head for the Shop Channel, and there it is again. System update. With a sigh I get that going. No problem. I downloaded a show on my 360 the other day, I'll just go watch that. Let's just say I am glad the 360 controller is sturdier than my wall. It's a system update hat trick! More »

Latest by TheLostSkeleton: It's more than a few minutes. Yeah, installing the patch takes but moments, but what about the time you have to play the game BEFORE patch? That's days, sometimes weeks or even months, where you're left with a broken game more »

Battlefield: 2142 Patch Asks You To Leave System Open To Hackers

Hey, even more reason to just love Battlefield 2142, EA and DICE. Sure, they are infecting you with spyware... I'm sorry, a piece of software that allows them to more accurately monitor in-game ad usage. Sorry, even worse! But hey, it's just spyware... not exactly like they're leaving the backdoor open to hackers. More »

Dead Rising Text Will Never Be Patched

Hey, thanks, Capcom! After oodles of potential zombie killers deprived of HDTV started complaining that the text in Dead Rising was so small that a single letter could be comfortably mapped upon the convexity of a single micron, there was great hope for a patch. More »

Where's the Madden Patch, EA?

When EA released Madden NFL 07, it was full of at least one bug that was a pretty astonishing screw up: players don't fatigue at all. Or are they? Apparently, the players are fatiguing, but the UI just doesn't even bother to register it. More »

The Tweed DS Lite Case. Yes, TWEED

This tweed (I'll say it again, tweed!) DS case is perfect for pedantic professor types who turn their noses up at pleather velcro cases, smoke a pipe, drink cheap pastiche and read loads of Stendhal. In short, here is Florian's DS case. Brian Ashcraft More »

Huge games deserve huge lists of bugs, and most of the fun of Oblivion is to be had by exploiting those bugs to skirt your way past some bonehead Bethesda design. More »
