Earlier today, Valve released a new patch for the PC version of Left 4 Dead. If you play this game as much I do, then you know there were some issues that had to be fixed. Well, put those thoughts to rest because the patch addresses most of the issues, glitches and bugs that previously plagued this game. *cough* Smoker *cough* However, it still didn’t fix the fast melee exploit or unlock Dead Air and Death Toll for play in Versus mode.
Just in case you missed it, Microsoft released Dash of Destruction their Live Marketplace yesterday. The game itself is laughably mundane, but it costs not a single penny. Of course, that’s mainly because the whole thing is just an advertisement for Doritos. The biggest thing about this racer is probably that it’s one of the few games in which you can unlock all the achievements in under half an hour. But free is free and gamerpoints are gamerpoints, so play away to your heart’s content. That is, if your heart can bear it.

Earlier today, EA rolled out the 1.06 patch for Red Alert 3. The patch is designed to fix the automatch system by giving it a little bit of a speed boost. EA also says this will fix the crane exploit, which allowed players to use the crane to build structures at no cost at all. All together, these fixes are relatively small when compared to the last patch, which introduces the world builder along with numersous in-game fixes. Unfortunately, after a few users described their experiences on the game forums, it seems as if the patch broke the game rather than fixing it. The Korean version was especially impaired by the new patch, but hopefully these are isolated issues, and EA will fix the new bugs.
Earlier today PC Gamer Blog released information about future Team Fortress 2 updates. These updates are said to consist of new items for the Medic class, new achievements, and even a new gametype coupled with some new maps. In addition to all this, Valve has said that they plan to periodically release new unlockable content for every class. For an avid Team Fortress 2 player like myself, I just couldn’t be any happier, this really looks like a a great future for the game. For more information visit PC Gamer.
Well I know many of you are anticipating the arrival of Halo 3, I know I am! Many people have gone out and searched in local stores if anyone has broken the street date.. Well, popular rumor has it that through www.newegg.com (a well-known online e-tailer!) will be shipping copies early. Many have already said it’s shipped for them, If you order the game today with overnight shipping you can probably get the game tommorow! The shipping costs an extra $18 but the price of the game on newegg seems to be $53.99 for the regular version, so that puts it at a total of $72.27 with overnight shipping before tax! This seems like an awesome deal for all the die-hard Halo fans out there! Even I myself might buy it today!
–UPDATE 2:45 PM EST– Seems ALL of them including Legendary and Limited Edition just sold out, wow that was fast!
–UPDATE 6:30 PM EST– Now it seems the regular edition and limited edition versions are back?! If you place an order now it will probably still get to you by Friday with overnight shipping! My order has also just gotten to step 3 of 5, which means it will probably get shipped later today or early tomorrow! I suggest you all buy the game before it “goes out of stock” again..
–Final Update– After many calls later, it seems newegg will be shipping the game tomorrow but they will not deliver it until the 25th which is a huge let down.. So time to cancel your orders if you planned on getting it this week.. But newegg is refunding shipping so you can still get Halo 3 on tuesday with free shipping meaning the game will cost only 53.99, this is for only the people who ordered yesterday around 12pm-3pm PST..
