There should be a stage in every product where the ludicrous is thought possible, where the team blazes trails right to the edge of the abyss in a hundred directions.

Next Battlefield 4 patch to solve “one-hit kill bug” and more
DICE dropped an update on the Battlefield 4 forum this morning indicating that it plans to patch the PC version sometime next week, after the Thanksgiving weekend. According to the patch notes, the update will address some of the key technical issues still present in BF4 a month after launch. The most significant of these is in our mind is the one-hit kill bug, an issue where headshots within eight meters are occasionally dealing more than their predicted 200 percent damage. YouTuber Jackfrags helped get the word out about the issue in an explanation video last week: Pre-patch notes from the Battlefield 4 forums: Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks Fixed the audio bug where audio sometimes randomly dropped out while playing on certain mu...
New GTA V DLC is here
Grand Theft Auto V‘s free Beach Bum DLC is now available to download, alongside the game’s 1.06 update.

Ashes Cricket 2013 pulled from Steam
The sorry saga of 505 Games’ Ashes Cricket 2013 continues beginning with one of the dumbest trailers in gaming history, it was supposed to appear in June this year. You know, in time for the Ashes. It didn’t make it, except they got lucky. The usual two year gap between the Australia Vs England bat-to-ball grudge series, they’ve started another one already, just a few months later. A fortuitous one-off anomaly allowing the game to slip five months and not suddenly be enormously out of date. So now, in time for the latest Ashes, it’s been released on PC alone. Except, it’s all going a bit wrong. Just a few days later it’s been mysteriously pulled from Steam, the Facebook page has vanished, and there are lots of rather cross customers. And an increasing number of excellent videos. As well as...

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea episode to release tomorrow
For all of you who’ve played & enjoyed Bioshock Infinite here is some awesome news 🙂 the first chunk of story DLC, set in that fragile underwater utopia/horrorshow, Rapture will be out tomorrow. Episode One throws Booker and Elizibeth back to a time to a point before Rapture transitioned from endless parties to mutant massacre. Ken Levine mentioned on Twitter that there will be new weapons, plasmids and gear, including an “old man winter” plasmid.

Part one of the DLC will be Booker-centric, while you might get to as Elizabeth in part two. Till then you can check out the awesome trailer.
