Geoffrey Tim - April 17th, 2012 | Jade Raymond, the beautiful face that helped launch Assassin’s Creed thinks that the video game industry needs to get rid of its reliance on the big, dumb blockbuster titles that take up all the top spots on monthly sales charts - and that the medium itself needs to grow up. Raymond currently heads Ubisoft Toronto, which is currently busy with the next Splinter Cell, and will soon start on a new, original ... [»] |

| How to kill unseen, with Ghost Recon Future Soldier | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 11th, 2012 | My anticipation for Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier grows with each new video demonstrating the game’s many ways of playing. In this latest video, showcasing how it’s entirely possible to progress though a mission without being noticed.

| Ubisoft says the most requested locations for Assassin’s Creed are the worst | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 5th, 2012 | Before it was revealed that Assassin’s Creed 3 would be set in a colonial America, there was a lot of speculation about where Desmond’s virtual DNA adventures would take place. The most popular theories and requests pegged the game to take place in World War 2, Egypt or feudal Japan. Ubisoft's Alex Hutchinson, creative director of Assassin's Creed 3, says those are all terrible locations for Assassin’s Creed, and would ... [»] |

| Could Far Cry 3 be the Call of Duty killer? | 
Gavin Mannion - April 5th, 2012 | Ever since that Far Cry 3 launch trailer was released in February I’ve been hugely excited about this game and while I’d heard it had a multiplayer section I honestly didn’t really care.
Far Cry is all about the single player experience and that is all I ever wanted.. until now. Now ... [»] |

| Lumines Electronic Symphony review – Block Droppin’ Beats | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 4th, 2012 | Though it’s available on just about everything that plays games, Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Lumines really belongs on Sony’s handhelds. One of the PSP’s very best launch titles, it’s a game that’s so good it’s been pretty much permanently wedged in my PSP.
It’s sequel’s also one of the launch titles for Sony’s Vita - and history’s repeated itself, because it’s pretty much indispensible.For the ... [»] |

| Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s coming to PC, ditches silly DRM | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 4th, 2012 | I’m becoming increasingly keen on Ubisoft’s tactical, near-future third person shooter Ghost Recon: future Soldier - mostly because it looks like it’ll offer an unmatched co-operative experience. PC gamers have looked on with jealousy - because been a little quiet about the PC version- until now. Ubisoft’s confirmed that the game will indeed be headed to PC’s. Like most Ubisoft PC games, it’ll grace computers a little ... [»] |

| Assassin’s Creed for Kinect | 
Gavin Mannion - April 2nd, 2012 | It’s quite disappointing that April Fool’s fell on a Sunday this year so we missed most of the decent jokes going around yesterday.
But this one is so good that I just had to post it anyway, it’s the official launch trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Kinect version which obviously doesn’t ... [»] |

| Playing Assassin’s Creed 3 on PC? Get a controller | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 29th, 2012 | Ubisoft’s retooled Anvil engine is ensuring that the next game in the Assassin’s Creed series looks beautiful. Thanks to PC hardware’s generational leap, the PC version of the game will undoubtedly be the best looking for those with the requisite hardware.

| Ubisoft wants DRM to go away | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 26th, 2012 | Ubisoft, the company that’s saddled the PC versions of its games with some of the most draconian, unnecessary and ultimately broken DRM in the history of computer games has said it wants DRM to go away - by negating the need for it.

| Ghost Recon: Future Soldier shows co-op done right | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 23rd, 2012 | I’m a sucker for a good co-op experience - but I dislike combat shooters. There’s an internal battle going on in my head right now, and *gasp* it seems like the combat shooter might be winning. The reason? Ghost Recon Future Soldier’s got co-op - and it looks pretty damned amazing. It allows for four-players (or two via split-screen!) to play co-operatively through and ... [»] |

| Amazing leaked Assassin’s Creed 3 screens | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 23rd, 2012 | Naughty naughty! It seems somebody’s leaked shiny new Assassin’s Creed 3 ahead of embargo - and they look pretty damned incredible. The new engine seems to be able to do some pretty things with wilderness and foliage - both of which look to be heavily utilised, a first for an Assassin’s Creed game. After playing through Revelations (which I loved), I said ... [»] |

| Rayman Origins Review (PSVita)- “A Ray of Sunshine” | 
James Lenoir - March 14th, 2012 | How do you treat that awful and exhaustive gamer sickness called chronic adult-onset cynicalgameritis? Apparently, the only known treatment involves an exceptionally good platformer. called Rayman Origins. I'll admit, I have ridiculously high standards when it comes to games, and very few will ever get my stamp of approval. However, when the Xbox 360 version fell into my lap last year, it was love ...
