Video Games' Blackness Problem
Video games have a blackness problem. This has been a known thing for a while, and we do talk about it from time to time. But I'd like to keep talking about it.
Vous etes si belle, Aveline. Assassin's Creed: Liberation's HD facelift looks pretty impressive. The remastered version of the game that debuted as a Vita exclusive will be out next week for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Assassin's Creed Liberation HD is coming in January 2014. More specifically, January 14 on PSN, January 15 on PC and "in early 2014" for XBLA. Read our impressions here.
A Revamped Assassin's Creed: Liberation Is Coming To Consoles
I really did want to play Assassin's Creed: Liberation. New Orleans! Creole accents! Bayous! A badass black lady protagonist! And yet... I never did. Finally, it looks like that's going to change.

Assasin's Creed on Vita Manages To Make Combat Easier, Yet Harder. It's Complicated.

Assassin's Creed Confirmed for Vita, Stars a Lady Assassin
Sony and Ubisoft have confirmed earlier reports that Assassin's Creed will be coming to the PlayStation with an all-new title, starring a female assassin and set roughly in the same time period as Assassin's Creed III.
