Mac port developer Aspyr has advised that it has released an update for the OS-X version of Borderlands 2. The patch adds leaderboards, achievements and “more importantly, multiplayer co-op with their Game Center friends”. Hopefully that last one means the much-touted cross-platform compatibility with PC is also back, having vanished thanks to a Gearbox update to the Windows version last year. Aspyr has also made DLC available as in-game purchases, and is offering 50% off the shooter RPG sequel on the Mac App Store.

Gears of War: Judgment got a couple of updates today, with People Can Fly releasing both a title update and stack of new DLC – all for free.

Ubisoft Montpellier has pushed out the first patch for Wii U launch title ZombiU , and to the relief of those few affected by them, the update corrects a number of game-breaking glitches.

Full patch notes are available on Coffee With Games.

Thanks, CVG.

God of War: Ascension has been updated to version 1.03, with a couple of major changes among the usual fixes. As promised, the difficulty of Chapter 28′s Trial of Archimedes section has been toned down, granting health and magic at the end of each section. More surprising is the addition of more multiplayer customisation options – eight new colours, and six “marks”. According to the PlayStation Blog, reported audio issues have not been corrected, but SCE Santa Monica promises to keep investigating, as well as working on upcoming DLC and a new weapon class.

Gearbox has detailed another piece of Season Pass DLC for Borderlands 2, along with some other upcoming updates, promising a new weapon tier, a second new game plus mode, a level cap increase and even more DLC to come.

Piranha Games’ latest content update for free-to-play MMO MechWarrior Online is hefty indeed. The star billing is shared by the new Tourmaline Desert and Jagermech, but a new Testing Grounds area has been added, too, allowing you to check out new gear and features before wandering into battle. You may want to take advantage of this, as Piranha has added a bunch of optional control tweaks, such as a gas pedal, a torso to legs centre, and better joystick support. On top of that, there’s a pile of consumables and cosmetic items, and a leaderboard challenge.

Maxis has issued a new patch for SimCity with some much-discussed fixes for traffic congestion.

Plus, a new server – Asia 2 – launches today. Full patch notes are available on the EA forums. Despite its troubled launch, SimCity made 1.1 million sales.

Thanks, Gamespot.

The PC version of Tomb Raider has been patched with a wide variety of bug fixes including improved multiplayer connectivity; better voice chat; TressFX improvements; and better performance when switching view modes or using multiple displays. It’s at least the second time the Crystal Dynamics effort has been patched, and Nvidia released new beta drivers specifically in support of the game a few days ago, so hopefully any problems have now been quashed. Full patch notes are available on Steam.

Paradox Interactive has pushed out patch 1.01 for March of the Eagles. The patch adds in the same editing suite seen in Crusader Kings 2, allowing for some pretty spectacular modding opportunities, and also adds new content such as historical generals. It applies a few fixes, too – better retreat paths, and not allowing low morale units to enter enemy controlled territory, for example. Full patch notes are available on the Paradox forums. March of the Eagles focuses on the Napoleonic Wars and is available exclusively on PC.

Planetside 2 was updated a few hours ago, adding in a bunch of new content already previewed in text and video form. The full patch notes reveal a heck of a lot of additional content on top of what we knew about beforehand, and through the break you’ll find some screens giving you a good look at such delights as the Flash’s new cloaking ability and shotgun.

The PC version of Tomb Raider has been patched with a number of important updates. Most importantly, Crystal Dynamics has rolled out a handful of fixes for Nvidia and Intel hardware and fixed a bug in a later missions which prevented progress for some players. Less vital but still much appreciated, it’s also added X-axis inversion and separate invert settings for control pads versus mouse and keyboard set ups, and rectified issues with fullscreen. Interestingly, Crystal Dynamics has made a “beta” version of the un-patched game available to those who’d prefer to stick to the old version; visit the patch notes for details on how to access it.

Thanks, PCGamesN.
