Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Freezing Issues

A number of Bioshock 2 players have been reporting freezing issues while playing multiplayer in the game.

As well as freezing they have encountered other game crashing bugs at various points while playing multiplayer, as far as I know there are no issues with single player.

Hopefully 2K Games will come up with a patch quickly otherwise this could really cripple Bioshocks move into multiplayer.

Have you been effected? If so leave us a comment below.

Resonance Of Fate Dated For Europe

Tri Ace developed Resonance of Fate has been dated for the 24th March 2010 in Europe on both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Expect a similar date for America.

The game received a pretty good reception when it released last month in Japan, I'm personally looking forward to it.

Microsoft X10 Line Up Detailed

Major Nelson has just tweeted some information on what games will be appearing at X10 in San Francisco.

The first tweet read, "SCDR2F3HRLP2," which when translated gives you Splinter Cell, Dead Rising 2, Fable 3, Halo Reach and Lost Planet 2.

The second tweet was, "GRPDAWTS," which is Ghost recon, Perfect Dark, Alan Wake and.....? I have no clue on the last one could it be Time Splitters? I hope so!
