Added 400 new ranks of 5 new Prestige levels in Modern Warfare 3 on PC in latest patch. Expect the same on consoles soon for everyone! #MW3

Infinity Ward has released a hotfix to fix the problem. Bowling stated that the security team has “released a hotfix for Modern Warfare 3 which prevents users from exploiting the ‘Damage Proficiency’ glitch.” Unlike title updates, hotfixes are sent out at any time without the need go through the certification process by console manufactures. It is worth noting that Infinity Ward has been “monitoring anyone who uses the exploit and banning them,” according to Bowling.

At the same, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance Member, Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat from a bioterrorist attack.

Today Ubisoft released new information and assets for the new Rainbow 6 title, Rainbow 6® Patriots. Team Rainbow faces a new and very real threat known as the “True Patriots,” a highly-trained, well-organized group of militias. The True Patriots are capitalizing on the growing sense of frustration and anger in a modern day America that they feel is irrevocably corrupted by greedy politicians and corporate special interests. Lead by a calculating figurehead named Tredway, this grassroots, homespun, terrorist organization will stop at nothing to overthrow the government and financial institutions to reclaim their country. Capturing the reality of modern-day terrorism, players will take on the role of a new Team Rainbow member as they face critical scenarios that will require them to make tough ethical decisions in order to stop this new breed of terrorists.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal with the support of Ubisoft Toronto and Red Storm, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots not only revolves around a dynamic single-player storyline but also introduce a huge variety of new innovative co-op and multi-player experiences.

NEW FEATURES INCLUDE:

• UNPRECEDENTED NARRATIVE – Patriots’ storyline explores an ultra-realistic what-if scenario inspired by real events and characters. The game will allow players to experience events from multiple perspectives creating an unprecedented level of immersion.

• A NEW THREAT FOR A NEW TEAM - Terrorism has evolved and Team Rainbow must face an organized militia of home-grown insurgents.  As the leader of a new squad, players will wrestle with difficult ethical decisions and determine if the doing-whatever-it-takes mentality is needed to stop the enemy.

• ENHANCED SQUAD MANAGEMENT - At the press of a button, the Rainbow squad will perform the most efficient and deadly tactic given the context of the situation.  When extreme measures are required, or when players call for it, you can take full control of your squad to plan the perfect assault.

• EVOLVED COMBAT – The game’s combat techniques have been pushed to the next level with cover and weapon systems redesigned to accommodate every combat situation. New Rappel and Breach mechanics are now enriched with multiple new techniques including Wall & Ceiling Breach, Fast Rope Rappel, inverted ‘Aussie Style Rappel’, Infiltrate & Subdue, to name a few.

• INTENSE MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE - Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game’s new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates.  Once such feature found in the pre-game online lobby is the Sandtable, a holographic display that helps acquaint players with the level maps before they jump into the action. This will help players strategically coordinate attacks and add a new dimension to squad tactics.

• SURPRISE AND OVERPOWER ENEMIES – Utilize the game’s new Scan mode to strategically breach and infiltrate areas. This new tool will provide a thermal read on the situation, allowing you to determine the squad’s best course to overwhelm and defeat enemies.

Improving dramatically on the first game, this game truly makes you feel like you are the Caped Crusader.  Arkham City is intricately detailed and contains so many easter eggs of the Batman universe that Arkham City doesn’t just feel like a game setting, but a living city that has its own history and its own culture. The first game was linear, Arkham City is an open world game that players can explore to find a number of side missions or just absorb every detail of this nightmarish prison by gliding and grappling over the city. The story somehow condenses almost every aspect of the Batman mythology and still makes an interesting story that connects to the mythology and the events of the first game.

The combat is the same as in the first game but taken to the next level. Every punch you throw feels powerful, and the experience of connecting every punch, kick, counter and takedown makes you feel more and more like the Batman. What could easily come off as mere button mashing feels more like a rhythm game and enemies get progressively more dangerous when they come out with stun batons, shields, and extra armor, which requires the player to develop new strategies to face them and use every gadget Batman has to defeat them.  Facing down a horde of enemies and pulling off a high combat multiplier is a great thrill that I haven’t seen in video games for a while.

The stealth aspects of the game are just as challenging as before, but the enemies have gotten smarter. They will check all the usual hiding spots for you and use new equipment, which makes it easier for them to find you. Each encounter requires you to devise new strategies to take out your enemies and you can think of dozens of different ways every time to take them down. Your detective skills will be challenged not only by the various side missions, but also by the new Riddler challenges. The challenges still get extras and experience for completing them, the added incentive is that The Riddler is holding several people as hostages so the whole process becomes a side quest; this is a great way to tie The Riddler into the game without making him feel like an unnecessary extra.

The only problem with the game is the fact that it is has to end.  This game has everything someone could want out of a game.

Beyond that, there isn’t much new, accept for a few additional cars, tracks and an interface that will guide you through where to go and what car to drive. After a while you start to find the voiceover annoying. This game is all about the driving and that’s where it finally hits the spot.

You will find at first, the feel is a little flimsy, like an arcade game, but after some patience and playing with the settings it is fine.

Altering the difficulty settings while you go through the career mode can eventually lead to a sensation that Top Gear presenters feel is theirs by right. It takes a while but the rewards are worth it; controlled drifts, understeer into a corner and a “dab of oppo” on the way out, buying time by minimising steering. It provides a sensation that in reality only top-earning BBC presenters, footballers can afford. That will no doubt keep Jeremy shrouded in happiness. You will be too.
