Because without new Angry Birds levels, the games industry would surely collapse.
If you ask any serious game about the one thing they wish they had, chances are good they’d say, “More Angry Birds stuff.” Angry Birds is, in many ways, the best game ever made, and it’s ridiculous that anyone would play any other game. The immense depth, completely original concept and truly marketable characters set it above and beyond pretty much any other title.
If you, like the rest of the world, simply can’t wait to get your hands on new Angry Birds content, today’s your day. Or, well, March 7 is your day. Rovio, the luminaries behind Angry Birds have confirmed that the next groundbreaking update for Angry Birds Seasons hits digital stores on that date.
The new update, titled Cherry Blossoms, borrows a few themes from Asian culture. Beyond that, there aren’t many details available. But this is Rovio we’re talking about, so the new content is sure to be incredible.
I’m rapt with anticipation for yet another mind-blowing entry in what I would hands-down describe as the most compelling experience any gaming platform has to offer.
Thank you, Rovio.

Sony leaves players in the dark for 14 hours, starting tomorrow.
Sony has just announced that its online gaming service, PlayStation Network, will be pulled offline for roughly 14 hours tomorrow. The company confirmed this through the PlayStation Blog, where it wrote that PSN would be coming down for “significant maintenance.”
PSN will be down from 8:00am PST to 10pm PST—beyond that, there isn’t much information on what exactly Sony is updating or performing maintenance on. The company has yet to respond to press inquiries on the subject, but we’ll keep you posted as details roll out.
Sony will force log-out anyone on PSN tomorrow; no PSN users will be able to log in until maintenance is complete. The PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home will be inaccessible as well. Players will be unable to play online games or access their PSN accounts. Big bummer for anyone that just picked up SSX.
Speculation on the downtime ranges from Vita-related updates to the PSN/SEN transfer, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
What are you going to do with your downtime hours?

EA plans to include DLC download codes with series two of the Mass Effect action figure lineup.
Do you like Mass Effect? Do you like DLC? What about action figures? If you said yes to all three questions, then man have we got a deal for you. It looks like EA, the publisher behind Bioware’s upcoming space-RPG Mass Effect 3, has an interesting plan for delivering DLC to gamers: toys.
According to information posted by the Big Bad Toy Store, series two of the Mass Effect action figure series will come packaged with special codes, valid for special “in-game bonus content.” Every figure apparently comes with its own bit of DLC, so it’s safe to assume the updates are limited to weapons, armor and other small accessories.
Here’s a list of the figures coming in series two:
Miranda
Mordin
Garrus
Legion
There’s no information available on whether you’ll have to buy the toys to get this DLC, or if it will be made available to regular players without a penchant for plastic. In the meantime, it does seem to be a cool way to sell DLC – who wouldn’t want a mini Miranda on their desk?
Would you buy toys to access DLC?

Ó

The Australian government is finally addressing major problems in its game rating system.
We’ve talked previously about the massive problems with the way Australia’s government rates games. Because the country has no “Mature” equivalent rating, all games must be appropriate for teens in order to hit retail shelves. This limitation has caused some games to either be modified for the Aussie market, or made unavailable to Aussie players.
The Australian government is aware of the problem, and recently recommended a full review of their ratings system be administered to figure out how to best move forward. While the results from that review are still pending, the new Federal Minister for Home Affairs doesn’t seem intent on waiting around. Jason Clare, who now serves in the Minister position, confirmed via interview that a bill designed to establish a mature-equivalent rating would be introduced to parliament sometime next month. The new rating, known as R18+, will help developers bring violent and otherwise graphic content to Australian shores.
After the bill is introduced, it will have to pass first in the Lower House, then in the Senate. There’s no guarantee of passage, but even having a bill on the docket is farther than the Aussie government has managed to get in a long time.
Here’s hoping the bill goes through and our Australian friends can stop worrying about whether particular games will make it to their stores. Look for more updates in February, once the bill hits a vote.

Ó

Lag problems in Skyrim have made the game nearly unplayable, but Bethesda has a solution – two months after launch.
Skyrim launched on November 11, 2011, and since then has been the subject of plenty of praise. Some call it game of the year, some call it game of the decade and others just call it a good game, but one group of players isn’t really feeling the praise – PS3 owners. Thanks to an issue with the way the PS3 stores game data and a lack of foresight on the part of developers, many people playing Skyrim on the Sony system have experienced game-breaking lag.
The issue has been in the gaming press for the last couple of months, with Bethesda constantly noting that they’re trying to get it fixed. The first few patches for Skyrim came and went without a PS3 fix, and players are still running into the very same issue they had on launch day.
Now, two months after the game hit shelves, Bethesda thinks they may have a solution. Skyrim update 1.4, set to go live sometime this month, should address the lag issue PS3 owners have been complaining about. The patch is currently awaiting certification from Sony, but will be live as soon as possible.
It’s nice that Bethesda finally fixed the problem, but it certainly seems like they could have acted more quickly. What do you think?

Both L.A. Noire and L.A. Noire: Complete Edition are available for download as of today.
Love solving crimes? What about interrogating shady characters? If so, Rockstar has you covered. The company announced today that L.A. Noire and L.A. Noire: Complete Edition are both available on the PSN store, meaning you can get in on the joy of solving gruesome murders all without having to walk down to the local game store.
L.A. Noire includes the basic game as it was launched, and will run you $31.99 (thanks, discount!). The Complete Edition, which is priced at $34.99, includes the full original game as well as every bit of DLC that’s been released since the game hit shelves. Honestly, for $3 more you’d be crazy not to upgrade to the full version.
L.A. Noire wasn’t as well received as some of Rockstar’s other games, but it’s worth noting that they mostly put the game together after Team Bondi tried and failed. That being said, the game is still an interesting narrative experience, so if you’re looking for a way to kill some time over the holidays and don’t want to pitch for a brand new game, L.A. Noire could be the way to go. It’s no Red Dead Redemption, but it’s still pretty good by most accounts.
What did you think of L.A. Noire?

Valve drops a ton of new in-game items and a brand new map to celebrate its Australian Christmas event.
Love hats? You’re in luck, for Valve has officially dropped its latest Team Fortress 2 update, titled Australian Christmas. The update is packed to the gills with completely unnecessary items for your TF2 character, including more hats than one person could possibly need. Still, it’s fun to see Valve treating their game with so much love.
There’s a lot going on in this update, so you should check out the full list of changes if you’re interested. If you don’t have time, here’s a quick rundown on what you can expect:
New map –Foundry
New weapons
New hats and items from the Steam Workshop
All-new achievements
75% off certain items in the Mann Supply Co. Store
If you want to get in on the festivities, you’ll need to play Team Fortress 2 while the event is live. Some of the items can only be looted through “Nice” crates, which in turn only spawn while the event is active. So get on it – it’s not like you have any other games to play right now, right?

PopCap re-launches one of the most popular puzzle games ever made, complete with a free version.
PopCap has officially removed the older version of Bejeweled 2 + Blitz, replacing it with a revamped version that features elements from Bejeweled 3. They’ve also gone and dropped a free version of the game, which consists solely of the one-minute “Score Attack” mode originally found in Bejeweled Blitz.
The new game, which goes by the same title as the retired version, contains the Zen and Diamond Mine modes found in Bejeweled 3, plus Classic play. And since PopCap is known for keeping their products updated, it’s only fair to assume that new features will be added over time.
Bejeweled 2 + Blitz is currently available on the iTunes Store for 99 cents – if you’re into puzzle games and time-wasters, it’s definitely worth a look. People love to talk about Angry Birds as the start of the mobile gaming revolution, but Bejeweled is actually second on the list of best-selling mobile games of all time, lead only by Tetris.
If you do download the game, be sure to let us know what you think!

Rocksteady has addressed the DX11 issue that made the game unplayable on PC, but only for some players.
Poor Arkham City. It’s had a rough run in recent months – despite launching to rave reviews, the game has been marred by technical difficulties, especially when it comes to the PC. We reported a couple of weeks ago that Arkham City wasn’t necessarily working correctly with DX11, and at the time Rocksteady’s solution basically boiled down to “turn off DX11.”
But, thanks to Steam, we can now see that Arkham City has been patched by its developers, and that the DX11 issue should be mostly resolved – assuming you play on a 64-bit system. If your computer runs on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 or Vista, you’re still going to need to use DX9 until Rocksteady can get the next patch out.
Here are the patch notes, courtesy of PC Gamer:
Performance / hitching issues have been greatly improved for running in DX 11.
An issue with players running out of Video Memory or encountering a Rendering Thread Exceptions has been address. This was primarily affecting 32-bit Operating Systems.
A progression block after defeating Ra’s Al Ghul has been fixed. This was issue occurred primarily on lower end computer setups and described as Batman not readying his Reverse Batarang.
A crash that occurred when scrolling between the Character Bios and Arkham City Stories has been fixed.
A crash that occurred when selecting “Press Start” immediately when available at the Title Screen has been fixed. The issue was described as crashing/hard locking around the DLC (Downloadable Content) check.
Have you downloaded the patch yet? How’s it working out for you?

Nintendo has finally updated their 3DS handheld with all new firmware in an update pushed live across the globe early this morning. So what’s in store for gamers that download the update? For starters, 3D video recording. But the list of changes certainly doesn’t end there.
The 3DS’s new video-recording software allows you to take up to 10 minutes of footage – Nintendo has even included settings that allow you to make stop-motion or time-lapsed 3D films. You’ll also find a new quest for StreetPass, new panels for Puzzle Swap, and a special geographical map that unlocks as you run into new Miis around your neighborhood and the world.
They’ve even added achievements, though they’re calling them “Accomplishments.” Plus, the eShop now allows for continued downloads in sleep mode, and features support for the addition of demos. All in all, it’s a pretty meaty update for the 3DS. The 3D video thing is cool, but all of the other features are handy as well.
What do you think of the new 3DS firmware? Are you more likely to buy a 3DS now that you can record videos?

The sequel to one of the best-looking mobile games ever made has some serious problems on the original iPad and iPod Touch.
Infinity Blade II hit digital shelves yesterday, and while the game has earned praise from most fans and critics, some gamers haven’t been able to enjoy the game at all due to a pesky bug with older Apple hardware. Apparently, generation one iPads and older iPod Touches may experience performance problems when running the game, depending on how many apps you currently have installed.
Epic Games, the company behind Infinity Ward, is well aware of the problem and hard at work on a solution. The developer is aiming to patch the game “ASAP,” so keep an eye on your little blue App Store icon for the notification that an update is ready. The basic problem arose because Epic didn’t test the game on fully loaded devices, instead using test devices that had only the game and a couple of other apps.
As we know, iOS is prone to clutter and a large number of apps, combined with the hardware requirements of the game, are causing older devices to run out of system memory. There’s no official timeline on how long a patch will take, but I’d expect one within the next week or so.
Have you experienced any Infinity Blade II issues?

Fresh from the rumor mill – Xenoblade may be heading west, but only as a GameStop exclusive.
Gamers have been clamoring for a North American release of the epic Xenoblade Chronicles, but up until recently, Nintendo had been pretty firm in their refusal to bring the game overseas. As of today, however, the future of the title seems to be in flux, with NeoGAF reporting that Chronicles may in fact see a North American release, albeit as a GameStop exclusive.
The story broke as the result of a leaked internal screenshot from a GameStop store, and the chain has long been known for guessing/predicting release dates both correctly and very, very incorrectly. That being said, Nintendo seems to be stoking the flames of rumor, and has recently begun to add Xenoblade images to its Facebook page.
There has been no official confirmation from either GameStop or Nintendo, so we’ll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out. If the information does turn out to be true, look for Xenoblade Chronicles to hit shelves near you in April of 2012.
Would you like to see Xenoblade come to North America? Do you think making it an exclusive is the right plan?

If you love playing the same game in different settings, head to the Android Market/iTunes Store and buy Angry Birds, again.
Angry Birds has long had a lock on the mobile gaming market, though it was recently dethroned by Scribblenauts. Still, no game has sold quite as well as the bird-flinging puzzler, possibly due to its simple but incredibly addictive gameplay. Sure, we’ve seen games like Angry Birds before, but Rovio seems to have distilled the experience into a fine solution that’s easy to drink and tasty to boot.
The game is ubiquitous, penetrating all layers of pop culture to the point where even your non-gaming parents have probably heard of it.
Christmas is almost here, which means it’s time for our obligatory Angry Birds update. Angry Birds Seasons: Wreck the Halls is now available for download on the Android Market and iTunes Store, boasting 25 new levels, with each one being made available day-by-day until the 25th. The final level promises a showdown with Big Pig, which I can only assume is the primary bad guy in the franchise (I never finished the original).
If Angry Birds is your game of choice, you may as well download Seasons. If you’ve never played the game and want to give it a shot, it’s better to stick with the original and then move on to the more niched versions. It’s the same game all around, but the seasonal versions feel pretty cheap compared to the much more robust original.
What do you think of seasonal Angry Birds updates? Fun way to celebrate, or sneaky way to cash in?

We discussed Sony’s recent decision to change the game sharing limit from five games to two a few weeks back, and (judging from the comments) people didn’t seem too happy about the new policy. Regardless of booming customer complaints, Sony is moving forward with the plan and will take PSN down from 8am to 10pm (PST) tomorrow to implement the update.
This means if you want to buy games that still fall under the old five-game limit, you need to buy them before the service goes down tomorrow morning.
Sony is calling the 14-hour downtime “routine maintenance,” but it certainly seems like a long time for their online service to be off-limits. I don’t own a PS3 so I’m unfamiliar with their maintenance routine – please let me know in the comments if this is something they do frequently.
During the downtime, you won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, Account Management or create new accounts, and you won’t be able to access your account via the web. Here’s one strange thing though, Sony indicates in their official blog that “some users” may still be able to play online. Some?
There’s also a PS3 firmware update included in the maintenance, but details are scant. We’ll keep you posted as we get more information.
How do you feel about the new game sharing limits?

Pick up Rockstar’s crime thriller via digital download or in a store near you.
Sure, today is all about Modern Warfare 3, and Friday is all about Skyrim. But there’s some other interesting stuff happening this week, such as the updated “Complete Edition” version of L.A. Noire dropping for PC owners.
If you’re not waiting to slay dragons and running around in a cloud of bullets isn’t your thing, L.A. Noire may be just the title you need to get through the week. Especially if you haven’t already played it on a console system.
Here’s the breakdown on what the Complete Edition includes:
Full L.A. Noire game
DLC: Nicholson Electroplating
DLC: Reefer Madness
DLC: The Naked City
DLC: The Consul’s Car
DLC: A Slip of the Tongue
The PC version of L.A. Noire also included updated and improved graphics with higher resolution textures, in addition to full support for NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology. Pick it up from Steam, OnLive, Direct2Dreive or Amazon right now, or on Friday if you’re in Australia or Europe.
Do you have room for L.A. Noire in your November?

The biggest launch of the year is officially in full swing. Did you already pick up your copy?
Modern Warfare 3 is officially on shelves, with thousands of gamers lining up the night to pick up their copies before anyone else. I know for a fact that my neighbor picked up a midnight copy – the explosions started right around 12:45. Launch events across the country were packed with gamers eagerly awaiting their first chance to play the game through in-store tournaments and other special events.
The launch seems to have gone fairly smoothly, with Call of Duty Elite experiencing only minor issues due to the large rush of people joining up. Elite is only available on Xbox 360 at the moment, with the PS3 version being pushed live on a PlayStation Store update later on and the PC version still delayed indefinitely due to concerns over stat rigging. We’ll have to see how the service holds up once everyone is able to access it before passing judgment.
Review scores are starting to trickle in, with the game (at least the 360 version) holding down a high 90 score on Metacritic. Most reviewers seem to note that the game isn’t reinventing the wheel, but delivers so strongly on the promises of the franchise that it’s still quite a success for the fractured Infinity Ward team. Of course, there are very few reviews posted so that’s another thing we’ll have to wait on.
Are you playing MW3 today? Is it truly the “most anticipated game of all time?” Sound off in the comments if you can pull yourself away from the TV.

Despite rumors that the game had been shelved, Running With Scissors finally issues an update regarding the latest in their often-ridiculous Postal series.
The original Postal game was a top-down shooter with no real story. You knew that the main character had been evicted from his house, and was subsequently going berserk, but that was about it. Postal 2 was even more insane, with so much violence it was actually banned in some countries (read: Australia). Now, after a few years of silence on the topic, it looks like Running With Scissors is finally ready to return to the franchise.
The company has just announced that Postal III will launch in the Steam store on December 10th, bringing with it the return of the game’s main character, “Postal Dude.” Postal III takes place in Catharsis, and will presumably revolve around causing as much damage as possible in order to quell the rage that lives inside of you.
The press release on the game’s official site also indicates that it may be heading to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, albeit at a later date. Time is going to have to tell.
Anyone play the first couple of Postal games?
