A year on from the release of the brilliant Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and it’s time to wrap up the stories of both Ezio and Altair. With two legendary assassins at the helm of Revelations this should be the greatest Assassin’s Creed game of all, right? The game is dominated by a huge, 14th century version of the city of Constantinople [...]
I’ve been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations over the past week. It’s easily the hardest game in the series with much tougher enemies and memories everywhere. Here are my top tips for story mode to make you an awesome assassin. Note: There are some mild gameplay spoilers in these tips. Steal from everyone, all the time – Right [...]
At Ubisoft’s recent Summer Spectacular I got to chat to Jamie Keen, lead game designer on Far Cry 3 about his plans for the game and what he hopes to improve on from Far Cry 2 and about hiding in bushes. I absolutely loved Far Cry, but felt that Far Cry 2 lost its way a bit, so what’s changed [...]
Welcome to today’s news. Ubisoft has announced pricing for its Uplay passport. Costing £7.99 on PS3, PC and 800 MS Points (£6.80) on the Xbox 360, the pass will be included in all new Ubisoft games. However, if you buy second hand games, then you will need to purchase a Uplay passport if you want to play online and unlock [...]
While we’re still tooling about in LA post-E3, I thought I’d put up this competition to celebrate the forthcoming release of Child of Eden for the Xbox 360: the chance to win a copy of Child of Eden and a print signed by creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi himself. We saw Mizuguchi demonstrating Child of Eden at BAFTA a few weeks back. [...]

In this first bit of paid-for DLC for the quite brilliant Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, the renaissance version of James Bond’s ‘Q‘ – Leonardo Da Vinci – has been kidnapped. Fortunately for you, his assistant Salai is still around to help you track him down via a mixture of puzzle solving, interrogating targets and locating some missing paintings. For 3 wonderful [...]
The latest game from the developer of the IL-2 Sturmovik World War II combat flight simulator series hits the Ubishop from the 25th March 2011. Over the past 10 years the IL-2 Sturmovik series of games have featured 347 different planes, 256 of which were playable. IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover is set during the Battle of Britain in 1940.

I was totally expecting this latest Assassin’s Creed game to be a blatant cash-in. With Ubisoft’s financials not looking too rosy in their last financial report, you could almost forgive them for wanting to milk their über popular franchise cow on a yearly basis. I was wrong.
After 16 seconds of black screen you finally get to see the latest character from Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood – The Hellequin. She is a lady of few words and a lot of jumping based on this trailer ;-) She is certainly efficient with her killing too. Very impressed. You will be able to download the soundtrack to Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood [...]
Oh, is that a bit of drool on the floor? I do apologise, it just slipped out whilst watching this Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood trailer. Ok, in all seriousness, tell me that this trailer doesn’t make you want to play this game? I can not wait to get me some more Assassin’s Creed ;-) Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is released on the [...]
Fitness has been an ongoing battle for me. Going to the gym is so boring that I don’t even try to make excuses any more. I once took a beginner’s dance class but was shamed by the 16-year-olds who would string together every routine effortlessly on the first attempt. Me and the other 25+ newbies? We’re not going back. My [...]
