PAIN patch is ... well, a pain [Update]
Update: The patch has been, well, patched.
Haze patch fixes online co-op
The patch plays around with your save file, so that you have to start from the beginning of the last level you got to, but that's a negligible annoyance to suffer in return for finally being able to play with all your buddies. It's just a shame about the timing. With Metal Gear Solid 4 now out in all territories, we don't suspect Haze is going to get much of a look in for a while.
New Eye of Judgment patch fixes Season 2 issues
Rumor: New PS3 firmware may fix GTA problems
In spite of a patch, many PS3 owners are reporting problems with Grand Theft Auto IV. While a number of solutions have been suggested, many are hoping for a better solution. According to one post on the PlayStation forums, a Take Two representative said the issue was "with the launch edition of the PS3" and that "the game was checked over and passed as 100% compatible with the current version of the PS3."While this is unconfirmed, it does seem to be a plausible scenario. Considering how important GTA IV is, it wouldn't surprise us to see a new firmware attempt to fix these issues. Sony has previous released firmware updates, simply to patch games on the PSP. For example, Sony released an entirely new firmware for PSP a day after the release of Parappa the Rapper in Japan, because the in-game browser wasn't working properly.

Hot Shots Golf patch available now
The blog post also states that online servers will be running much smoother from now on and that lobbies now have soccer balls to play around with. There will also be new avatar items coming soon and news regarding downloadable content for the title, too. So if you've put your copy of Hot Shots Golf away, now might be a good time to dust it off.
Warhawk patch v1.3 coming tomorrow
Warhawk servers will be experiencing downtime between 10am and 4pm GMT (6am and 12pm EST) after which the patch will be made available to download. Why should you be interested? Don't tell us you've forgotten all the cool stuff v1.3 adds. Along with the two new melee weapons, there will be more vehicle paintjobs and insignias. Not to mention the bizarrely early Home launching feature. Bizarrely early? Or is it?
Dylan Jobe strikes again with another Warhawk post
Warhawk version 1.3 will not only include a couple of ground-based items, but will also contain a whole host of new Warhawk paintjobs and insignias. These are all fan made via the contest that was started in January and all the winners are viewable in Jobe's PlayStation.Blog post or on the official PlayStation Flickr. Finally, a screenshot of "Operation Broken Mirror" was revealed -- only problem is that it's all jumbled up like a puzzle. Luckily some quick witted readers managed to unscramble the image and gave us the first look of the new level and vehicle.
Picture posted after the break for those who are spoilerphobic.

Eye of Judgment set 2 detailed & dated for March 27th
The expansion will be a paid download from the PlayStation Store. There's no word on how much it will cost, but the PlayStation.Blog confirms that people who don't buy it will be able to play against those who do, which is excellent news. Alongside the expansion a network update will be released to all Eye of Judgment owners which will improve certain game features and implement an in-game encyclopedia as well as "special matches". For more information on the new cards and abilities be sure to check out Mark Valledor's post on the PlayStation.Blog.
Home Beta gets a significant update next week
Improvements to the UI and graphics engine mean that Home will look much prettier and be more functional from here on out. You will be able to check who's online from your friends list as well as who is in Home right now. A bubble machine has been made available to all beta testers, to test the new "Home Items" system. Video streaming is now made possible too, so you don't have to wait for a video to download completely before watching it.
The most exciting part of the update is the unveiling of the Marketplace in the main square. The Marketplace is stocked with clothes and furniture as well as other, undisclosed, content. We can't wait to see what's there. Game launching is also now available, though it is currently limited. Games can be started within Home, however the party will not be automatically generated within the game. Also, players with different versions of a game (such as American or European) won't be able to start a game together. The patch notes clearly state, however, that this is only temporary and will be fixed before launch.
There's so much more included in the update, but we're running out of room! Check after the break to see the full patch list.
[Thanks John!]

Warhawk v1.3 will bring new items, better VOIP, Home integration
There are no new maps or vehicles (this is an update, not an expansion) but instead the game will be further improved with the inclusion of two new items for ground-troops. The Bio-Field Generator acts as a personal healing station that can be placed down like a mine and the Field Mechanic's Wrench is a one-hit-kill melee weapon that doubles as a quick-repair for vehicles. On top of this, the 1.3 patch will introduce better VOIP options as well as new paint schemes for the air-based vehicles chosen from the ongoing Warhawk Paint & Insignia contest.
Finally, Dylan mentions that their Home integration is coming along really nicely and that v1.3 will utilise game launching from inside Home. A great, much anticipated, feature. Interesting that we're seeing its implementation so soon, considering Home still has a TBA release date. Speaking of releases, when can we expect to see this update? It's in testing at the moment, with no expected release date for now. Hopefully we'll hear something more specific very soon. If you want to read more about the update (and you do) check out the post on the PlayStation.Blog.
Oh yeah, did we mention this will all be free?

Sega: No plans for Virtua Fighter 5 PS3 patch
Do you think Sega would finally throw us PS3 VF5 owners bone? No and probably not ever, according to Sega's Jay Boor. He told PS3 Fanboy, "at this time SEGA has no plans to release a patch for the PS3 version of Virtua Fighter 5."
Sure, a few of you may look at that and still hold onto the possibility, but we're finally closing the door on any hope that the PS3 version will ever get any future improvements, let alone online play. Oh well, there's always the inevitable sequel, right?
Eye of Judgment patch allows for private rooms
The patch list contains details of the game's improvements and includes being able to select your voice input device from within the game as well as various other performance enhancements. The main attraction to the update, however, is the ability to have private rooms for online play.
When the game was first released online play against your friends was a troublesome affair. After sending an invite to your selected
