In this day and age gamers are doing everything they can to gain an edge over one another. Unfortunately many times this means cheating in one form or another be it exploiting an in game glitch or using a modified console. In first person shooter games in particular this seems to happen more often than not and Crytek’s recently released Crysis 2 seems to be no different.

Luckily, Crytek seems to be jumping on this problem sooner rather than later releasing a statement today that they are doing what they can to not only eliminate the exploits that give some gamers an unfair advantage while also penalizing the players that actually choose to utilize these exploits.

So folks, in a nutshell, don’t cheat on Crysis 2 or else Crytek will find you and it won’t be pretty.

Well it seems that glitchers have managed to find another exploit in Modern Warfare 2‘s multiplayer. No, you don’t get unlimited noob tube ammo or the ability to run super fast, but you can call in unlimited harriers. That’s right, a new glitch has been found that allows players to call in up to 9 harriers. Just imagine the havoc you could cause will 9 harrieres in the sky.

Let’s hope Infinity Ward is quick with patching this one as by the time they do, players are sure to find another.

Oh by the way, a little bird told us that you can figure out how to do this glitch here.

If you’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2 online since it came out you’ve most likely been in a game with hackers. You know, unlimited ammo, no need to reload, low gravity or super speed? Well, it seems that the game’s Wii counterpart, Modern Warfare Reflex, is seeing some of the same problems.

As you can see from the above video, hackers have managed to wreck havoc on the game.

Let’s hope the developers are working to remedy this issue.

If you’re an avid online Modern Warfare 2 player you may have noticed that in some games you don’t have to reload, your ammo never depleates and there are a bunch of people running around firing the noob tube like crazy. What gives?

Well, it seems like a new glitch has appeared that gives everyone in the room unlimited ammo for every gun. I’m not quite sure how it’s done but Robert Bowling and Infinity Ward know about it and are hard at work remedying the problem.

Unfortunately, considering the lengthy verification process that Microsoft requires developers to put their patches through, there is no telling when there will be a fix to update this problem.

Will this cause Infinity Ward to reset the leader boards? Our best guess says yes, it will.

It was recently announced that there is a patch incoming for UFC 2009 Undisputed that will apparantly fix most of the glitches gamers frequently exploit online to curb matches in their favor.

The most prominent bug fix is the one that involves gamers who quit early to save their record. Once the patch goes into effect, gamers who disconnect early will be given a loss. Furthermore, THQ and the developers hope to fix lag issues associated with online play along with various other glitches.

To peep the full list, head over to the official blog post here.

It was recently reported on Major Nelson’s blog that Microsoft has found and delt with a new batch of cheaters. Their offense? Using an exploit within Gears of War 2 to artificially boost their Gamerscores. Their sentence? A Gamerscore of 0.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has had to step in to thwart cheaters in their attempt at a high Gamerscore. If you’ve been with us since March of last year, you’ll recognize a similar case.

Major Nelson also assures us that if you use ethical methods of obtaining your achievements, as in no cheating or glitching, you have nothing to worry about; your Gamerscore will not get reset accidentally.

There’s nothing that I hate more than games that force you to watch their opening cinematics. Yeah I know, it’s an attempt by the developers to engage players into the storyline but more often then not I just want to dive into the action.

Luckily, Killzone 2 was not one of these games, until recently that is. Reports have surfaced that after downloading a recently released patch, the introductory movie could not be skipped no matter how many buttons you press. Is this just an evil joke by Guerilla? Nope, after contacted by Destructoid they released the following statement:

We’ve had many reports of this. The QA team is aware of it and looking for a fix.

Let’s hope a fix comes sooner than later because I’m sure there are players out there who have been tempted to send their controller flying at their TV screen after being forced to watch the intro for the 50th time.

It seems that PS3Fanboy readers may have uncovered a previously unheard of glitch in the PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet.

Apparently, several readers are reporting that after running through part of the game, saving, powering off the console, and then powering it back on again causes some game saves to disappear before their very eyes. 

Other than deleting game saves, users are also reporting that the glitch effects user created content. Some users have reported deletion of costumes, and saved photos.

We’ll keep you updated when a patch becomes prevalent.
