Review by Matt S. It’s a shame that Ubisoft decided to Assassin’s Creed Liberation’s hero, Aveline, on a portable game. While the original Vita release was a fine game in its own way, it was clear that this game didn’t have the production budget of the “real” Assassin’s Creed games.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not sure why, but the big publishers seem to struggle with coming up with compelling ways to bring their important franchises to the iPad. EA has both hits and misses in equal measure, and Activision has only made token efforts with its Call of Duty…

Read MoreToday is a sad day. You can obviously tell by the sunset and dramatic voice-over. Today marks the fifth time that this has happened. It does not just affect me, but also the people around me and around the world. Today is the fifth day of Steam’s Summer Sale of…
Read MoreYou can always trust Ubisoft to support a console like no other third party.
