Since the shaky launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar have been working hard almost 24/7 to fix all of the server issues, bugs and glitches resulting in loss of player progress, money, cars, and the gain of a generally unhappy player base.
Luckily though, Rockstar have done quite a good job to iron things out, and the newest patch fixes some of the last major current problems players are dealing with. Official patch notes have been listed below:
- +Fixes numerous issues that were causing vehicle loss and/or loss of vehicle mods
- +Fixes an issue where the incorrect car is replaced when choosing to replace a car in a full garage
- +Fixes an exploit allowing players to sell the same vehicle multiple times
- +Fixes an issue that caused personal vehicles to be duplicated
- +Fixes an issue where some players were unable to pay utility bills on an owned apartment or house

Despite previously being confirmed for a late 2013 release date, Evolution Studio's PlayStation 4 exclusive Drive Club has had its release delayed for 'early 2014.'
The game was scheduled to be available as both a free access game for PS Plus subscribers and a full version retail game, but both versions have been pulled back. Drive Club was planned to be one of fifteen games to be released upon launch, but since then both Watch Dogs and Drive Club have unfortunately been delayed, meaning we'll be missing out on two of the most promising titles at launch, and will have only 13 titles to play.
To set things in stone, Sony Worldwide Studios CEO Shuhei Yoshida made a statement on the official PlayStation blog regarding the Drive Club delay. In his post, he said that Drive Club "will be a truly innovative, socially connected racing game, but

More details have been given on the release date for the next NFS game, Need for Speed Rivals, and surprisingly it has now been confirmed as a day one launch title.
It was previously announced that Need for Speed Rivals would release around November for both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, but it has now been confirmed by EA to be released as a day-one launch title for Europe, and will be available a week after the US launch date of the PlayStation 4.
This means that if you're in Europe you'll be able to get Need for Speed Rivals on Xbox One on November 22nd, and for PS4 on November 29th.
For the United States however, the launch date for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of Need for Speed Rivals is November 22nd, which is one week after

Despite only launching with two different gameplay modes, Conquest and Domination, DICE have just rolled out an update to the Battlefield 4 BETA to add another multiplayer game mode.
The new game mode is named Obliteration and should be available to play on all platforms that currently support the Beta. (PS3/Xbox 360/PC)
In Obliteration, a bomb will spawn in a randomly selected location on the map, and two teams will fight to pick up the bomb and then plant it in one of the three team's objective points.
As you can imagine, the bomb spawn point will be incredibly hectic, and once the bomb has gone off at an objective point, both teams will then have to fight for a new randomly placed bomb on the map.
Once a team has destroyed all three of their objectives, they will win the game. Alternatively, the game will end after the timer runs down.
In the full version of Battlefield 4, there will be a total of seven different multiplayer modes and ten different

A new Xbox One software feature has been revealed by an Xbox rep at the EB Expo in Australia, and it adds a little extra personal touch to the Achievements system.
Often while playing on the Xbox 360, unlocking achievements can go unnoticed, and some games don't explain very clearly how achievements are unlocked, but this new software system will give gamers an insight into how they unlocked their achievements and got up their Gamerscore.
According to the Xbox rep, "The DVR will automatically record any Achievements that take place so whenever you unlock a Gamerscore it will automatically record how you did that so you can check it out later."
Obviously this isn't going to be a selling point for the Xbox One, but it's nice to have a few extra features here and there to add more personalization and attachment to your own gamer profile.
This isn't the first feature that

Despite not being released that long ago, Warner Bros. has unveiled the new Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition this week.
The Ultimate Edition will include all of the current available DLC, along with a copy of the original game.
The Ultimate Edition will also have a wider release than the original version, and will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. The release dates have been set for November 12 in North America and November 19 in Europe.
The extra content will include previously added characters such as Batgirl, General Zod, Zatanna, and Martian Manhunter.
There isn't any information on any improvements for the PlayStation 4 version, and it seems as if Warner Bros. have not taken the opportunity to release it for Xbox One.
The PS Vita version will be a slightly downgraded version to the console version, however the development studio behind the handheld port, Armature, is putting a lot of effort

In a big open world game that allows players to randomly kill each other at will, there has to be some kind of penalty to killing innocent players to stop the game turning into an endless large scale deathmatch.
Rockstar did something a little different to punish continued random killings in GTA Online, and general jerkiness could end up with some terrible consequences.
The first thing that can happen if you continue to be a jerk by quitting games, killing players and ruining other's experiences on GTA Online is that you'll start to be joined with other jerks just like you. If you keep it up, you'll be stuck playing in the time out corner of GTA Online with all the other naughty criminals who can't refrain from messing with other players.
If you decide to start playing nicely, you'll be freed after two real days, and after that point you'll be initiated back into average people society.
You won't be able to play with your friends after you get the 'bad sport'

Cash on GTA Online is a fine delicacy- If you want to make use of the best features in the game without spending real money on cash cards, there are certain things you can do to squeeze more money out of missions.
Most Money from Holding up a Store
The higher your rank, the more opportunities there will be to get a lot of money in GTA Online, but at a low rank, holding up a store is probably the best way to make money.
However, instead of forcing the cashier to hand you the money, shoot him in the head, and take the money from the till yourself by pressing right on the D-pad at the till. You will usually get more money for doing this and you don't have to risk getting shot by the shop owner.
From here you can open up your phone, deposit money into your bank through the maze bank website and step outside and get killed by the cops. Because you are still a low level, you'll only lose a portion of what you just stole on hospital bills. You can do

If you're still stuck on the first mission on Grand Theft Auto Online, we've compiled a few tips that have reportedly helped other users get past the first mission. Despite talk of terrible servers and bad gameplay, it seems that as soon as you get past the first mission with Lamar, everything is very smooth.
Here are some tips to get past the first mission on GTA Online -
Delete your Character
This isn't such a big problem at this stage because it's unlikely that you have any progress on your GTA Online character. To delete your GTA:O character, go into story mode, press the menu button and go to the Online tab. From here you will need to click on select character and you can then delete characters from both available slots.
Delete the Title Update
To do this, you will need to access your game's data from either Xbox Home or the PS3 XMB, depending on what platform you're playing GTA on. On Xbox 360 it is called
