Today the PlayStation 3 version of Skullgirls received a rather extensive patch which is meant to fix and balance a large number of issues. It is worth noting that so far only the PlayStation 3 version of the title was given an update as the Xbox 360 patch is still waiting on a release date.

A brief summary of some of the patch notes, posted a few months back, can be found here. However fans can expect a more extensive list of the fixes this patch entails to be released eventually by the game’s developers but many will be glad to hear that one of the things added in this patch is a move list that is accessible in-game.

Nuketown 2025 removed from Black Ops II playlists

If you were hoping to hop on Black Ops II tonight and play on everyone’s favorite map Nuketown 2025 then you will be saddened to hear that Treyarch has removed this map from the game’s multiplayer playlist. In fact, the only way to even access the map is in custom game modes which is are only playable with local friends or those who join your game.

This means that the match is not available in public matchmaking and players can no longer receive any experience points for playing on the map. David Vonderhaar, game design director, announced on Twitter that the map would be removed saying “Double XP weekend is official over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Don’t kill the messenger.” He went on to say that “Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games.”

Now this has led to quite a lot of anger in the world of Black Ops II as at no time was it ever mentioned by Treyarch or Activision that the map would only be available for a limited time or for special events and, while many people would have bought Black Ops II anyways, a highly publicized pre-order bonus has suddenly been made useless and practically non-existent for a bulk of the fan base. Whether the map will be added back in to the game in the future is currently unknown.

Update: Treyarch has re-added the Nuketown 2025 map to Black Ops II in the form of a new playlist. Information about this can be found here.

WoW: Eight Years and Counting

World of Warcraft has certainly earned its reputation for attributing the ‘WoW’ standard for a multitude of the massive multiplayer online genre titles and has done so for eight years on November 23rd. In celebration for standing ground for eight years, Blizzard is presenting players that log onto World of Warcraft between November 18th and December 1st with a ‘Celebration Package’ along with earning a Feat of Strength achievement. Once the package has been used, the package wielder will begin shooting off fireworks, dawn an unique yet temporary tabard, and gain 8% bonus experience from enemies while the package is active.

Blizzard additionally offers a small disclaimer when using the special celebratory package:

Use fireworks responsibly. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If fireworks get in eyes, rinse in muddy pond water for 20 minutes, /dance, and contact your nearest Mistweaver, Priest, Shaman, Druid, or Paladin.

Think they are done with tooting their horn? Blizzard created a special video to take players on the epic journey from the initial release up to the latest expansion – Mists of Pandaria. Take a look at the video below to capture the nostalgia that is World of Warcraft.
