Review: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Arctic Strike Map Pack
It’s here! Finally, it’s here! Today, the Arctic Strike Map Pack for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was released for PS3 and 360 and after playing it for most of the day I can say that it is good. Before I dive into what I like about the DLC pack, let’s get rid of the boring details. The pack brings a higher level cap, 3 new multiplayer maps, 1 new multiplayer gametype, 1 new Guerri...[Read More]
Ubisoft Unveils More Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth at Comic-Con
With Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, there seem to be three camps: anticipatory, apathetic, and dismissive. I place myself firmly in the anticipatory camp, because I honestly think that the potential entertainment value of this game is being nurtured and developed by the right hands: Ubisoft. The trailers, while definitely not representative of gameplay when compared to the less than stellar sc...[Read More]
Just Dance 4 Gameplay & Limited Tracklist
Whenever I see the word “Europe” anywhere, I automatically yell out (depending on location, sometimes in my mind instead of out loud) that it’s “THE FINAAAAL COUNTDOOOOWN!” Sorry, Europeans (internal on that one, given my current whereabouts), but that’s the lot that life has dealt you all. Alternatively, whenever I see the name Selena Gomez, I automatically hav...[Read More]
ZombiU Trailers and Screenshots From Comic-Con 2012
Between the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo Wii U, Ubisoft has done more than its fair share of making handhelds and consoles look like they’re worth buying. One of the big titles that receives some derision for its title, but praise for its concept, is ZombiU. Yes, another zombie game. How, then, can it be receiving praise? If your character gets eaten by zombies, you start from the begin...[Read More]

Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Gets New Trailer – Accolades
I have no doubt that Assassin’s Creed III Liberation is going to be one of the defining titles for the PS Vita hardware, and definitely a big driver of PS Vita hardware sales for the last quarter of calendar year 2012 and forward.

North and Latin Americas Getting Exclusive Assassin’s Creed III Limited Edition
TAKE THAT, EUROPE! That sound you’re not hearing right now is me doing a little jig on my desk. Not because Europe isn’t getting access to this Limited Edition without importing, but because I’m a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and I love…sorry, I LOVE really well put together limited editions of games that interest me. This is going to be a bad rest-of-t...[Read More]

Review: Babel Rising (XBLA)
The first detonation of a nuclear device was made possible by Robert Oppenheimer’s work. In later interviews, he recalled the test explosion, and the thought that had come to his mind at that moment: “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds,” from the Bhagavad Gita. I believe that, like Oppenheimer, we all have a little bit of the destroyer within us to varying degrees, w...[Read More]
E3 2012: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
When Ubisoft pushed out PowerUp Heroes last year, I immediately saw it as a shovelware title. There was little promotion in the lead-up to it, and it was just suddenly released at a budget price point. When the title showed up at my door, I gave it a try, and found myself pleasantly surprised. I immediately felt like I was back on the playground during recess, running around pretending to be super...[Read More]
