The calls from the fans have been heard and Ubisoft has responded by dishing up a patch for the brilliant, Far Cry 3. It’s available right now on PS3 and 360 and amongst other things, it resets the outposts on Rook Island so you can have fun trying to tactically take them down all over again. And this time there’s a harder difficulty level for you to try out.

Here’s the skinny…

SINGLE PLAYER

• Outposts reset: after the end of the game, players can choose to reset the liberated outposts to face the challenge to take them over again
• A new difficulty setting: Players who have completed the campaign can restart the adventure on MASTER difficulty, with more challenging enemies and dangerous wildlife

MULTIPLAYER

• Map Beta Test: Map makers can now start a beta test to monitor how their map is being played using the new spectate feature and regular players are enabled to provide better feedback to help map

Naughty Dog dice up their main game so you can pick the best bits

Naughty Dog’s brilliant Uncharted 3 is the test-bed for a new pricing system for Sony. Right now, you can head to the PlayStation Store and grab the game’s multiplayer portion free of charge.

You can shoot, punch and detonate your way to Level 15 for nothing, but anything beyond this will cost you money, but all progress will be remembered and added once you sign up for more. You get access to 24 multiplayer maps and a genuinely fun online shooter, with thrills and spills aplenty. Here, take a look…

Breaking things down further is the fact you can pick and choose at the other bits of Uncharted 3 that you fancy. For example, you can pick up the single-player mode for £19.99 if you’d rather have a solo experience. You can, however, buy the full game for £14.98 on Amazon, so there is this …

Unfinished Swan/MediEvil crossover level incoming too

The next couple of characters to flex their muscles in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale are Dead Space’s Isaac and the bearded God of War boss, Zeus. The DLC lands in March and also includes a new arena to kick-ass in, which is a mash-up of Unfinished Swan and MediEvil, IGN confirm.

More of the same with a side of bug trouble

Although the part-robot, all gentleman, Sir Hammerlock gets his name above the door in this beast hunting DLC package he barely features throughout. Sure, he provides some of the missions and comical quips as you lay waste to wave after wave of colourful nut jobs, but Hammerlock is a mere passenger. The star of the show here is Professor Nakayama, but we’ll explore his madness later.

The premise is this: Sir Hammerlock invites you to the Hunter’s Grotto deep in the valley of Aergus to help him track down some giant beasts. First thing of note is that it’s relatively short. Focus on the main missions and you’ll fly through the story in about two hours. But like the finest filet mignon, there’s barely any fat to get in the way so you can get enjoy the small yet delicious main course.
