Skyrim Patch Info

A new patch for Skyrim has been released which has so far only been updated on the Xbox 360. The patch will be downloaded once playing Skyrim on Xbox Live, and has ironed out a few issues with the game.

The patch has fixed bugs with Arnleif and Sons trading company, NPC duplication, and vampiric grip and exterior doors. The patch also includes some back-end code to make Skyrim play smoothly.

For PS3 owners, and Xbox 360 owners outside US or the UK, the patch won't yet be available to you, and Bethesda hasn't stated when these consoles will get the 1.8 patch.

The new patch should hopefully help the new Dragonborn downloadable

Bungie were very nice to the Halo Reach community, and were always fine tuning the matchmaking playlists to make players' gameplay experiences ever more improved. Bungie went as far as to change some of the weapon mechanics, which is a huge deal when applying this to an Xbox 360 game that had been out for over a year. 343 Industries hasn't mentioned any such game-changing plans, but they are adding and rotating the War Games playlists each week. Last week 343 added SWAT to the mix, which for many was a great relief, and it's quickly become one of the most played playlists on War Games matchmaking.

Next week 343 will be adding Team Snipers, which will be playable on Longbow, Complex, Solace, Ragnarok, Vortex, Exile and Meltdown. Similarly to SWAT, players will be able to choose between predefined load outs, although so far secondary weapons have not been included.

A few other changes have also been applied to matchmaking, and although there isn't anything too interesting, these

Saints Row the Third

If you haven't played the third installment of the Saints Row series yet, or you didn't want to buy the extra downloadable content the first time round, this may be a great time for you.

The Full Package pretty much contains what it says on the tin. The new premier edition will include the three extra download content mission packs; Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space and 'The Trouble with Clones.' On top of that, all of the DLC items will be included, as well as a bonus thirty new items, including new vehicles weapons and costumes.

The Full package was released in USA on November 6^th, and the rest

Black Ops 2 Miss Print?

For most, purchasing Black Ops 2 has been a smooth process, and gamers have gotten straight into Treyarch's new Call of Duty within minutes, but for some, their copy of Black Ops 2 didn't offer what was expected.

BioWare has estimated that around 1,000 people have fallen victim to a failed factory line and have received a copy of Mass Effect 2 instead of the second Black Ops 2 disc. A video released online shows a player putting in what looks to be the second disc of Black Ops 2 to only be greeted with a Mass Effect 2 logo on his PC.

Although this is just for PC users, some players who have purchased a copy of

Black Ops 2 Issues on PS3

Although it hasn't affected everyone, many players have complained about issues and bugs with their copy of Black Ops 2 on their PS3 consoles. Treyarch have recently released a patch to help combat this problem, although no official announcement has been given as to what is included, David Vonderhaar has sent out a tweet on twitter to give players a little bit of information. The patch, which is patch number 1.03 for PS3, "has some good fixes for commonly reported problems." According to Vonderhaar's twitter, it's also been stated that Treyarch will keep working to iron out all of the problems.

Next Uncharted Info

Thanks to the Australian Classification Board, we may have a bit of insight into what the next Uncharted game will be.

The new game is titled Uncharted: Fight for Fortune and according to the leaked information it will be a multi-platform game, although this most likely means a cross PS3 and PS Vita release, and seeing the Uncharted franchise's  loyalty to Sony over the years, it would make little sense to take away the games exclusivity to Sony consoles.

What's also new is that the game may not actually be released by Naughty Dog at all, and like Golden Abyss for the PS Vita, the game may be developed under Sony Bend. If this were to be

Halo 4 Info

One of the biggest problems with the Halo: Reach matchmaking was credit farming, and Bungie took it quite seriously. In Halo 4, 343 have revised the new experience system to make sure no one gets too far ahead, which is reasonable seeing as experience and Spartan ranks will now unlock players new equipment which are beneficial to playing better in the game.

Unlike Halo Reach, Halo 4 has had a pretty sturdy experience restriction straight into the game at launch, and this can limit the amount of experience players can earn a day whilst playing Spartan Ops and War games. Jessica Shea, community manager for Halo 4, wrote a message on Waypoint to explain the system

Halo 4 Sales Records

So by now I expect a lot of you have settled in with the new gameplay within Halo 4, and are slowly rising up the Spartan Ranks. But when I say a lot of you, it may be a lot more than you might think.

343 Industries have set quite a record in games sales according to VGChartz Estimates. VGChartz have given details about Halo 4's day one sales, and the numbers are quite astonishing. Halo 4 has managed to sell 3.1 million copies in total, which is the most any console exclusive has ever sold within day one sales. 60% of those sales, or 1.9 million units were

Borderlands 2 DLC Info

The president for Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford, has now confirmed that the next Borderlands 2 downloadable content will be available to players by the end of 2012. For those becoming bored of the main game and the 'Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty' DLC, you won't need to wait much longer for the new content, because it is very probable that we will see it within a month's time, or at least by the end of December.

Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, a leak by the PlayStation trophy system has revealed that the new DLC will be called Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, and will have three new gold trophies for PS3 players.

New Black Ops 2 Weapon Customization

One of the greatest things about Call of Duty's multiplayer has always been the amount of weapon customization, and with Modern Warfare 2, players could finally start to make their experience unique to their own gameplay style. In Black Ops 2, players will be able to customize weapons with attachments, and add perks to loadouts just like other games, but this time round Treyarch have added a lot of extra bits and pieces of customization that allow players to make themselves stand out.

In Black Ops 2 there will be a huge range of weapon camos, ranging from standard military camo to bright pink cherry blossom skinned weapons. Every weapon in the multiplayer can be skinned with a custom camo, including both secondary and primary weapons.

Here's an image of the camo select screen sent to MP1st by one of their readers:
