Continuing their recent Team Fortress 2 updating-spree, Valve has now unveiled ‘The Heavy’ update.

More of a series of updates; The Heavy, so far, includes 2 new maps, a special Heavy powerup, a brand new unlockable weapon named Natascha, and some class specific achievements.

This isn’t all though; over at the update’s website, where you can read more about the above mentioned updates, there are still 2 more additions that have yet to be released but will be next week.

With the PS3’s latest firmware 2.42 just about a week old, problems are already starting to arise.

According to Kotaku, several members over at the Playstation forums are reporting that upon updating their precious console, it is no longer able to read discs, while others say after a few minutes of gameplay their drives are rendered useless.

A handful of users have noted that doing a system wide reset (see: delete all your game saves) has solved the problem with others saying it had no effect.

There is currently no official fix from Sony on this issue, but once there is we will keep you updated.

Remember those rumors about a huge Dashboard update for the Xbox 360? During Microsoft’s press conference, it was proven to be true, all of it. Everything from avatars, to the “minority report” interface, etc; were all demoed at the conference. Even the old Netflix partnership rumor was proven factual at the event. Each of the features will be described in detail after the jump.

Just days after Sony’s PS3 2.4 update hit the streets, consumers have begun complaining about a variety of different problems regarding the software.

Apparently, other than small somewhat insignificant problems such as microphone problems, some users are reporting that their consoles have been rendered useless after updating their PS3’s firmware to 2.4.

In response to the commotion, Sony has decided to take the firmware update offline for an undetermined amount of time.

Included in the 2.4 update was the in-game CrossMedia bar along with the achievement Trophy system.

It seems Funcom, developers of hit MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, have stirred up quite a ruckus with a seemingly honest mistake in their games code.

Apparently, users have noted that female avatars are slightly weaker than their male counterparts when making combination attacks. Funcom has made note of this and blamed it on the fact that the different gender’s attack animations aren’t timed exactly the same, causing males to output a little bit more damage than females.

Well, a fix is on its way but Funcom lets us know that, due to the amount of work needed for the fix, it will take some time.
