One month after the announcement of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (which was itself only about four months after the retail release of its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed III), we are treated to its first gameplay trailer. We see that a great deal of naval combat returns from Assassin’s Creed III, which stood as that title’s strongest feature. There also appears to be under...[Read More]
Last year, Ubisoft announced Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, the fourth title in the Call of Juarez franchise. Today, they have released the first teaser trailer for the game along with a brief summary of what to expect.

There have been an inordinate number of leaks during the week or so since Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was announced to the world. All across the Internet, from sites both large and small, we saw the emergence of an Assassin’s Creed poster and two trailers, one of which was incredibly exciting. Now, on the day that the reveal of this content had originally been planned for, Ubisoft ...[Read More]
So Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be the next entry in Ubisoft’s massive franchise. What can you expect from it? Well, the new title is expected to follow Edward Kenway, father of Assassin’s Creed III‘s Haytham, as he sails around the Caribbean embarking on adventure after adventure. From the looks of the key art that has just been released, you can expect a larger pr...[Read More]
Nintendo had been making an incredibly strong, and frustrating, case for me to purchase a Wii U. Rayman Origins was one of the best platformers of the entire console generation, so Ubisoft’s announcement of Rayman Legends as exclusive to the Wii U was all but the nail in my coffin. The nail in my coffin was the announcement of Bayonetta 2 as exclusive to the Wii U, with Bayonetta being one o...[Read More]
With Far Cry 3 less than a month away, Ubisoft has released a trailer elaborating on the upcoming title’s story. Take a good, long look at what you can expect to face on one of the craziest (and prettiest) islands in the seven seas. Far Cry 3 will be available on major platforms on December 4th. What would you do to save yourself and your friends?
Following the Far Cry 3 trailers The Savages and The Tribes, Ubisoft has released a new trailer called The Tyrant. In The Tyrant, we meet Hoyt, the mastermind behind all of Far Cry 3’s batshit crazy, and Sam, Hoyt’s not-so-loyal lieutenant. Take a look at what awaits you on the island in the trailer below, and read through character biographies for Hoyt and Sam following it.
I’m a massive fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. My wife may claim that she’s a bigger fan, but I was a fan first, so nyah nyah to her. I fell in love with Assassin’s Creed while playing as Altair, up until the penultimate battle which will forever be ingrained in my memory as complete and utter bullshit. While I still love the first Assassin’s Creed, I could not ...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed III comes out in exactly one week, and Ubisoft has far from relaxed their marketing machine leading into this final stretch. Come hell or high water, you’re going to KNOW about Assassin’s Creed III (even if you’re going to receive a launch-day surprise about Just Dance: Disney Party – come on, Ubi, where are your priorities?). The latest addition to t...[Read More]
As soon as I saw the press release simultaneously announcing the existence AND the launch of Ubisoft’s Just Dance: Disney Party appear in my inbox, I was skeptical. Then I looked at the track listing. For the most part, I’m not the target demographic (Hannah Montana is most decidedly NOT my jam), but it’s the classics that really caught my eye and made me sincerely excited for th...[Read More]
Expanding on the proof-of-concept Kinect fighting game from Ubisoft that was PowerUp Heroes, Marvel Avengers Battle for Earth puts you in the shoes of your favorite heroes and villains from the Secret Invasion storyline as you…well…battle.
