Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag had a lot of making up to do. I thought the previous game in the series, Assassin's Creed III, was a resounding disappointment. I've already weighed in on the new, pirate-themed Black Flag: It's pretty good. But for those who felt burnt by the last game, a more thorough comparison may be …
Nothing typified the regression the Assassin's Creed series took between Revelations and III more than the game's star. We went from Ezio, a lovable, charismatic rogue, to Connor, who was...nothing. He was nothingness in a white hood.
While the rest of the world has to wait until the end of this month to get their hands on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, I've got Edward Kenway and friends right here on my desk, ready to pillage, loot, burn, and maybe make-out a little.
Assassin's Creed Lineage, the live-action companion series to the second game, was pretty damn good. Recognizing that, last year, Ubisoft released a live-action trailer for ACIII. And now, they've got one for the newest entry in their free-roaming neck-stabbing series. How is it? Let's take a look.
Action figures? Little desktop statues? Those are for coward collectors. Those who really want to make a statement - and scare off home intruders (particularly British ones) - spend over $3000 on a giant statue of Assassin's Creed III's Connor Kenway.
Nearly six months on and I'm still torn on Assassin's Creed III
The concluding episode of the Tyranny of King Washington
If you've been playing big-budget action video games over the last couple of years, you've probably noticed a few trends. The graphics have gotten better. The animations have become more lifelike. The explosions have gotten more explosive.
We've been here before. It's time to tell you about a new Assassin's Creed.
The odds should've been against Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. It starred a woman—specifically the half-black, half-French heroine Aveline du Grandpre. And it was an exclusive on the PlayStation Vita, a system that many people see as a sadly under-supported platform.
Assassin's Creed III was, for me, an agonising paradox. It's both one of the best games of last year
Earlier this week I told you about Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan
Did you know that there's a video game where George Washington is evil? And that it's made by the French?
I admit that I've had my doubts about Assassin's Creed III in the three months since I had last played it.
Earlier today, Ubisoft announced
Ubisoft announced that a new Assassin's Creed game featuring a new hero and time period will be coming in fiscal year 2014, which could be anywhere from this October to next September April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
We already knew that part one of Assassin's Creed III's three-part downloadable content pack, The Tyranny of King Washington, will be out on February 19
Priced at $10 for the first episode, the long-teased "Tyranny of George Washington" DLC
That's a question PC Gamer asked themselves over the course of the last week, re-imagining 2012 blockbusters like Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed III as primitive text-based adventure games.
Assassin's Creed III is easily one of the most divisive video games of 2012. It was a hugely ambitious slate-cleaner for the long-running Assassin's Creed franchise, and while it did a number of things right, it also got a lot of things wrong.
Bonjour friends! American gaming's Franco-friends Ubisoft had quite the year, releasing or showing off games for what seemed like all of their major franchises, and revealing a new one to boot. Other than the pretty fun Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
In what's becoming a Christmas tradition, I'm sitting down today to round up what I think were the year's best video game trailers.
Ubisoft brags: Assassin's Creed III has sold (through) 7,000,000 copies; players made over 3,000,000,000 assassinations!
