2K Sports have released the first patch for NBA 2k12, aiming to amend issues in various areas of the game, including offline and online. The servers have been the victim of a lot of criticism since the release, and this patch is hoping to alleviate some of those flaws.

In terms of gameplay, on-dribbler steal success rates have been turned down, accuracy has been improved for directional passing to make it more reliable, and help defense has been improved, specifically in relation to rotations and pick-and-roll situations. In addition to these, the success of contested 3PT shots has been adjusted, as well as double team issues which were affecting drives to the basket.

For online, matchmaking optimisations have been made as a way of helping users get into games quicker and reducing the time needed to search for an opponent. 2K sports have also addressed a number of network errors which caused games to end prematurely, as well as issues in Team-Up where players would be left standing idle. Finally, the patch has also corrected the win/lost streak tracking issue, allowing the “Back to Back to Back” achievement to be unlocked appropriately.

The patch is available now for PS3 and will be available shortly for Xbox 360.

Assassin’s Creed has always been a very story driven game, but Ubisoft have now taken it a step further by including yet another story-in the multiplayer! In this recently released trailer (which you can watch below), fans of the series are introduced to ACR’s multiplayer story. The plot appears to be cleverly intwined with the experience, encouraging players to level up and constantly aim to improve. The better players become, the closer they get to uncovering the secrets of Abstergo Industries, but Abstergo will only educate you as long as you continue to show potential so you better play hard or don’t play at all!

There have been several rumours surrounding a potential new Legend of Zelda title for the Nintendo 3DS, with even a potential Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword port also rumoured at one point. Earlier this year a new Zelda was announced to have been in development besides Skyward Sword, however it was unknown what console it was being developed for.

It has now been officially confirmed by the man behind Zelda himself, Eiji Aonuma. Recently during an interview with MyGames, Aonuma confirmed that a new Zelda title for the Nintendo 3DS is in development.

He went on to state that the title is not a remake of Majora’s Mask, although a Majora’s Mask remake is definitely something that they have discussed.

Furthermore he made sure to note that this game is completely original, with no attachement to previous handheld titles, Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass.

It is unknown when we will see more information surface about the title, but for now, rest assured that an original Zelda title is coming to 3DS. What do you think of this announcement? Let us know in the shoutbox and comments section.

Wow! It looks like Ubisoft have really stepped up the multiplayer for Assassin’s Creed Revelations! In a recently released trailer entitled Fear Defeat, Ubisoft have revealed a bunch of brand new modes, maps and characters for ACR in a very detailed look of the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Among all these new features, two new modes have been revealed. In Deathmatch the goal is to kill as many enemies as possible, but the catch is you no longer have a beacon to guide you, so players must rely on instincts. Also introduced is Artifact Assault which is basically Capture The Flag-you grab enemy artifacts and run it back to base to expand your team’s territory. And if you think that’s awesome, I just realised Assassin has the word ‘ass’ in it twice!

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is due for a November 15, 2011 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
