After all of the talk and arguing about whether the two next gen consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, will have 1080P support for next gen titles, it's personally left me a bit frustrated with the way 'fanboys' seem to enjoy trash talking their fellow gamers.
This probably leaves Microsoft, Sony and any game developers working on next gen titles wondering what they can do to please the angry crowd of gamers that are slowly piling up outside their front door, and in Infinity Ward's case, it looks like a 1080P compatibility patch for Call of Duty Ghosts on the PlayStation 4.
Straight out of the box, Call of Duty Ghosts will play at 1080P natively in multiplayer mode, but the single player is stuck at 720P. The new patch that's been available for download since day one fixes this and allows players to play single player in 1080P resolution.

After an increasing number of reports about save game bugs and issues, Warner Bros. has made an official statement giving information on a variety of Batman: Arkham Origins problems that they are aware of.
In the official statement, Warner Bros. has listed all of the bugs and issues, however they have not yet made a fix for "rare" corrupted save problems, and it's unlikely that those who have encountered this bug will be able to get their saved content back.
"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you all for your patience as we work to resolve the issues," Warner Bros. said in its statement.
The list of bugs includes both small issues like occasional crashing and freezing and more serious game breaking problems like corrupted save files and bugs that stop players from being able to access and play the story mode.
Although Warner Bros. haven't released any information on how to avoid these bugs from happening, they have mentioned a few

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.

So, although the gameplay in the Last of Us is super crisp and refined, there seems to be a bug or two astray, and one of them could end up destroying a big chunk of your fun.
The most potent glitch involves the autosave feature when playing online and can wind you up with a saved file that could have been made many hours of playtime beforehand.
When the game autosaves whilst you are playing online, it can in essence 'get stuck' meaning the save won't happen, and instead of stating when it last made a save on the menu it would be stuck saying 'autosaving, please wait.'
Players have reported that they've lost many hours of gameplay due to this problem.
Naughty Dog has responded to their players stating that- "the autosave issue was a problem w/ our servers. No patch needed to fix it, just re-launch the game. Thanks again :)" and have since worked on a fix that won’t need a patch to be applied to the game. If you don't want to risk losing your progress though,

New God of War Patch
If you haven't noticed already, whilst DLC means new content for you game at a price, mandatory patches usually include extra gameplay elements for free, whilst fixing a gamer's overall experience of the game. So, when a new patch hits, gamers should be as excited, or maybe even more excited than a new announced download content pack for their game.
This is definitely the case with the new God of War 1.04 patch details, which will add some interesting dynamics to the game, whilst fixing some much needed issues.
Once again Sony Santa Monica has worked hard to include new features to the game at no charge, and the patch details sound spectacular,

God of War Patch
The community has spoken, and Sony has made some game changing adjustments to God of War Ascension to help players with the difficulties they've been having in the game.
Although Sony Santa Monica plan to work on fixing other problems including multiplayer balance tweaking and a few audio issues, the 1.03 patch focuses solely on the singleplayer aspects of the game.
The largest update to 1.03 changes one particular battle that a huge amount of players were having trouble with, "We received extensive feedback from the community that the "Trial of Archimedes" section (Chapter 28) near the end of the game was excessively challenging."
"In every God of War game,

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.
