Star Tropics is a fun Zelda-esque platformer that deserves an HD remake of some sorts.

Gears of War 2 - the entire multiplayer experience was glitchy as hell before Title Update #6

Examples:

- Games randomly dropping
- Player randomly dropping before joining a lobby
- Smoke grenades allowing you to move outside of the map
- The list goes on

Fable 3 patch prevents crashes, cures Jasper's laryngitis

@Invigilator I take it you are nowhere close to having any in experience in the software industry in general? It is EXTREMELY difficult to catch, reproduce and address bugs in an OPEN WORLD GAME. I am not saying developers do not have excuses nor that you do not have a right to complain as a consumer, but at least for the case of Fallout New Vegas you have to cut them a little bit of slack.

I am personally tired of seeing the same adage of "the QA team sucks", when games are reported to have a lot of bugs and problems. Not a lot of companies are willing to spend time and resources to go back and fix these problems so be glad that your favorite ones happen to care enough.

I wish I could find an in-depth article to share with you in the problems with QA in open-world games but all you have is my here-say. I have experience in the software industry as QA for almost 2 years and I am working towards a couple of QA internships for this summer. Again, not saying you do not have a right to complain but maybe you can do some digging up on the forums to read about developer issues (if you are interested) and help them catch bugs during beta phases and post releases. That's just my two cents though, hope you have a good holiday sir!

That giveaway looks sexy as hell. Perhaps we'll see the next installment by Fall 2011?

Wow, I would have been a distant thought in my pop's mind, -5.
