We have some good news for you who were upset over some of the issues with Silent Hill: Downpour back when it was released many months ago. Today Konami announced that they have released a patch for Silent Hill: Downpour on the Xbox 360, with a PlayStation 3 version of the patch arriving in the next few weeks.

The patch is meant to improve the frame-rate of the game, “fix” the save system and eliminate various bugs in the “Homeless” mission as well as a number of other fixes. It is worth noting that this patch is coming out a week before Silent Hill: Downpour’s arrival on Games on Demand for $39.99.

As far as an Xbox 360 patch for Silent Hill: HD Collection, you should remember that Konami chose to cancel the 360 patch while releasing a PS3 patch at that time.

If you were disheartened when you finished Dishonored for the third or fourth time and seemingly ventured through every alley and killed/neutralized every target in various ways, you’ll be happy to hear that Bethesda has some new content in the works. Today it was revealed that the company is planning on releasing three expansion packs for Dishonored, with the first one dropping in December.

The “Dunwall City Trials” pack will include ten different challenges for the player to finish and place themselves on the leaderboards. This DLC will cost only 400 MSP or $4.99 depending on your platform of choice.

Bethesda is also planning on releasing some story-driven DLC in the future in the form of the second DLC pack which will focus on Daud, who leads a group of assassins and has a number of special powers of his own. This DLC is meant to be released sometime in Spring 2013, while the third DLC pack has been given little detail, minus the fact that it too will be story oriented.

If you are excited about Assassin’s Creed III’s release next week then you are just one of apparently a record number of people. Today Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed III has doubled the pre-order numbers of last year’s Asassin’s Creed, AC: Revelations, which previously held the record.

Tony Bartel, president of GameStop, stated that “Pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed III at GameStop are nearly 100% higher than last year, putting the game on track to be one of the top titles of 2012.” For those who haven’t been paying attention over the last few months, Assassin’s Creed III follows the story of the assassin named Connor and takes part during and around the American Revolution.

It is worth noting that while the PS3 and 360 versions of the game will be available for purchase next week, the PC version of the game will be released on November 18th while the Wii U version will arrive on November 20th.

Seems like the Bay Area is gearing up for their biggest annual non-profit gaming fundraiser – Ümloud! – by announcing Tim Schafer as their Master of Ceremonies. Taking place at the San Francisco’s DNA Lounge on Thursday, December 6th, Ümloud! is benefiting Child’s Play which is a charity that targets gamers like us to help children’s hospitals around the globe. The night is to be full of Rock Band 3 dueling performances in charitable fun.

Tim Schafer, president of Double Fine Productions, had the following to offer about the event:

Everyone knows gamers have big hearts—and that’s not just because of the sedentary lives many of us live. It’s because we understand the value of community, of giving back, and Ümloud! is the perfect way to have a rockin’ evening while supporting Child Play’s noble efforts in taking care of the next generation of gamers.

Known well for a few of his endeavors such as Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Grim Fandango, Tim is sure to embody fun into the charity event and rock some socks off. To order advanced tickets to the show or to actively submit your band into the fundraiser, go to the Ümloud! site (here).

Today a few more details were revealed for Tecmo Koei’s Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge which will be one of the launch titles when the Wii U is released on November 18th. Not only is Razor’s Edge bringing back the dismemberment that fans of the series know so well, but they will be adding in a slew of new weapons to take out your enemies with. However you will need to be prepared for some stiff opposition as Team Ninja has made the enemies in Razor’s Edge more aggressive with improved AI and a higher level of difficulty.

Also, we’ve already heard that Ayane will be playable in Razor’s Edge, but we now know that there will be some free DLC characters released some time after the game is released, though who these characters may be is currently unknown. The company released a number of screenshots as well as a gameplay trailer today, both of which can be found below.
