A patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin’s Creed has gone live. The patch addresses the freezing and “white-screen-of-death” issues that some gamers have been experiencing, and should be available through the game interface once you are logged in to the PlayStation Network.
The prompt patching of Rock Band in lieu of hardware problems has actually caused a separate issue for some previously-unaffected owners. The patch has solved strum problems for some people, for others it has made no difference, and others have previously-operational controllers double-strumming. On the upside, EA has vowed to honor warranties - though it will take two weeks for a replacement to arrive.

A Call of Duty 4 update is currently in the works for the 360. The update will include some new features, as well as addressing host selection and matchmaking issues.

The World of Warcraft 2.3 patch has launched, and it’s a biggie. Dust Wallow Marsh sees the most changes with about 50 new quests, a new town and instance. Another new introduction is Guild Banks where a guild master can manage the guild’s loot.

The long-overdue patch for Shadowrun is set to hit Live early next week, and Live for Windows soon after. Of course, FASA Studios and Microsoft would rather you called it a “Title Update.”
The patch addresses a number of issues with the game, the most notable of which are the ridiculous delays in finding an online match, and the lengthy resynchronization period whenever a new player joins an active game. Apparently, both these have been reduced by a healthy margin.
