We've seen games that let you run from one end of a huge, real city to another. But Ubisoft's The Crew promises an altogether more impressive spectacle: one smooth drive from Miami Beach to the beaches of Los Angeles. Take a look. » 7/25/14 1:29pm 7/25/14 1:29pm

Back in the day Insomniac was top tier PlayStation. The Ratchet & Clank series ruled (unless you preferred Jak & Daxter, in which case: arguments) and it had nailed a perfect mix of run and gun controls and 'what the hell did I just shoot' weapons.

We can't tell who she is, and it's unlikely that she's playable. But it nevertheless looks like Assassin's Creed: Unity, like earlier games in the series, will have female assassins. No comment from Ubisoft. » 7/21/14 8:40pm 7/21/14 8:40pm

Um, I don't think anybody is saying that. » 7/21/14 7:45pm 7/21/14 7:45pm
