Ubisoft Shanghai's upcoming adventure/survival game I Am Alive sure does look cool. Back when I saw the game a few months ago, I was impressed, with its gritty realism, and how it recalled Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Just the other day, Stephen checked it out and was equally impressed. More »

The bulk of my time with Ubisoft's upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was spent with single-player, but near the end of the session, I had a chance to talk adversarial multiplayer with the game's developers. The burning question I had was: Now that Future Soldier is coming to PC, how will it be different from the free-to-play PC Multiplayer game Ghost Recon: Online that is also due out this summer?

There has been a longstanding tradition of military fantasy in video games—you're a part of an elite team who have been honed into lethal killing machines by years of intense training. The rules of engagement are clear—we're the good guys, they're the bad guys, and we're going to operate as a well-choreographed unit to take them down. More »

Last week, I headed down to Ubisoft headquarters in San Francisco to get a first look at their upcoming tactical shooter Rainbow 6: Patriots. I posted my impressions of the event earlier today—it looks like a solid evolution of the small-team tactical template set forth in Vegas, but what's more remarkable is that it at least flirts with being one of the first big-budget action games to deal with terrorism and civilian casualties in a deeper, more meaningful way.
