Kotaku: Ubisoft dropped us a line today to let us know that both console versions of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood have patches waiting for them, improving multiplayer connection and balancing.
Early Monday morning, game publisher Ubisoft announced that the patch version 1.1 for the PC version of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is available for download. Patch 1.1 significantly improves the multiplayer experience on Windows-based systems: Spy, Gunslinger, Hombre, Veteran and Sniper classes have been balanced to offer the best multiplayer gunfights.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been deemed a worthy shooter, in a genre that's over-flooded with titles. Right now one retailer is wrangling $20 off the price of the 'Wild-West' shooter. Take this chance to lasso in a good deal.

GamesTM issue #86 hit store shelves with some interesting review scores, including a 5 out of 10 for the generally well received Tales of Vesperia, and a dismal 3 out of 10 for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game movie tie-in.
TVGB: "For a number of hours yesterday morning the first Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood multiplayer DLC was available as a free download on Xbox LIVE. Unfortunately, this was not Ubisoft changing their mind and releasing the new maps free of charge but simply a little mistake on someone's part."

Aside from the usual deathmatch and other modes (all covered in the video), Bound in Blood offers Wild West Legends, a team-based take on legendary scenarios such as the capture of Billy the Kid, shootout at the O.K.
