The month of March is one full of Silent Hill titles, it seems — Konami announced three separate release dates for titles in the series today:

Silent Hill HD Collection: March 6

Silent Hill Downpour: March 13

Silent Hill Book of Memories: March 27

The three games (well, two games and a game collection) both revisit the past games in the series as well as adding an expansive new game to explore. Book of Memories is also the first Silent Hill game for PlayStation Vita — and the first with multiplayer. Firsts all around!

March looks like a good time for lovers of survival horror.

It’s the BlizzCon 2011 show! We welcome special guest Steph for talk on all things Blizzard, What They Play’s surprising demise and PlayStation Vita’s “First Edition.” And, as always, we go over what we’ve been playing as well as the usual banter.

Valve announced today that Portal 2‘s first DLC, “Portal 2: Peer Review” will be released October 4.

The free content (for PC/Mac, Xbox 360 and PS3) is primarily a new addition to the game’s co-op that continues the story of Atlas and P-Body. New challenge modes will be added to both single-player and co-op, and there will be leaderboards added as well so you can get even more competitive with your friends after you work with them.

Now, this is a little bit after their target “Summer” date of release, so to soothe the pain that is waiting on free things, here’s some free things you don’t have to wait for — the third volume of “Songs to Test By” and a new Turret Comic. Aww.

If you’re a PlayStation Plus or Uplay member (the latter of which is free, by the way), you can get access to the Assassin’s Creed Revelations multiplayer beta. That beta starts tomorrow.

But, if you don’t want to be stuck waiting for a download to finish while your friends are all playing, you can start downloading the beta content now. It’s sort of an “I’ll gladly pay you today for a hamburger tomorrow” kind of thing. A “Reverse Wimpy,” if you will.

This beta offers nine different characters on three maps with four modes, which Ubisoft says is just a taste of the final content.

You can get the full tasting menu on November 15 when the game is released.

A Disney game has managed to fly completely over my head, it seems. In Disney Universe, set for release this fall on PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, PC and Mac, you play as…well, I don’t know what to call them. Perhaps “things that you dress up” is sufficient? Anyway, you dress up these things as Disney characters and explore six worlds from various Disney films (Pixar included). Your exploration is aided by characters like Alice, Mike, Sulley and Stitch.

I’m not entirely sure what the point is, but the press release was pretty sure to note that this is the first time some characters and world have been united. I am not sure if Kingdom Hearts counts in this tally. If it does, I’ll switch that “first” to “third,” because you could totally summon some characters no matter where you were. So, ha?

You can also team up with three of your friends for co-op action.

At least you can dress the “things you dress up” (seriously, I just looked for a name and I can’t find one other than calling these things “new classic characters”) as Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald now. That was the point of this post. And it’s kind of cute. Check out the critters below.
