Rayman Legends has an interesting story indeed. It stars Rayman, of course, with Globox, and the Teensies. In this game Rayman and company get sucked into a painting they’ve been staring at. A crazy adventure ensues as they traverse the different worlds in each of the paintings. Read the full story

One month after the announcement of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (which was itself only about four months after the retail release of its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed III), we are treated to its first gameplay trailer. We see that a great deal of naval combat returns from Assassin’s Creed III, which stood as that title’s strongest feature. There also appears to be underwater combat and exploration. Finally, there was absolutely no mention of the Animus or of a descendant controlling Edward Kenway. On the one hand, it could be something that Ubisoft is holding back for later impact. On the other hand, with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag obviously taking place prior to Assassin’s Creed III, it may be nothing more than a stand-alone adventure taking advantage of the best features Assassin’s Creed III had to offer and one of the most interesting and entertaining time periods in recent history.

Last year, Ubisoft announced Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, the fourth title in the Call of Juarez franchise. Today, they have released the first teaser trailer for the game along with a brief summary of what to expect. Call of Juarez Gunslinger follows the tale of bounty hunter Silas Greaves, as he hunts down the West’s most notorious outlaws. The game will include “memorable encounters” with some of the names that we all grew up with: Pat Garret, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, Billy the Kid, and more. Take a look at the teaser trailer and screenshots below, and be on the lookout for a “reveal” trailer in one week. Read the full story

There have been an inordinate number of leaks during the week or so since Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was announced to the world. All across the Internet, from sites both large and small, we saw the emergence of an Assassin’s Creed poster and two trailers, one of which was incredibly exciting. Now, on the day that the reveal of this content had originally been planned for, Ubisoft has released both trailers (though I doubt both were intended for release simultaneously), and a collection of images.

So Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be the next entry in Ubisoft’s massive franchise. What can you expect from it? Well, the new title is expected to follow Edward Kenway, father of Assassin’s Creed III‘s Haytham, as he sails around the Caribbean embarking on adventure after adventure. From the looks of the key art that has just been released, you can expect a larger presence of Assassin’s Creed III’s insanely successful naval mechanics, and from the title, you can expect an incredibly hardcore soundtrack.

Nintendo had been making an incredibly strong, and frustrating, case for me to purchase a Wii U. Rayman Origins was one of the best platformers of the entire console generation, so Ubisoft’s announcement of Rayman Legends as exclusive to the Wii U was all but the nail in my coffin. The nail in my coffin was the announcement of Bayonetta 2 as exclusive to the Wii U, with Bayonetta being one of the best action titles of the console generation. With these two exclusive titles in its library, the Wii U had only to wait before it would appear on my game shelf. Now, though, a huge blow has been dealt, with Ubisoft announcing that Rayman Legends will be coming to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms in September of 2013. Read the full story

What would you do to save yourself and your friends? Read the full story

Following the Far Cry 3 trailers The Savages and The Tribes, Ubisoft has released a new trailer called The Tyrant. In The Tyrant, we meet Hoyt, the mastermind behind all of Far Cry 3′s batshit crazy, and Sam, Hoyt’s not-so-loyal lieutenant. Take a look at what awaits you on the island in the trailer below, and read through character biographies for Hoyt and Sam following it. Read the full story

I’m a massive fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. My wife may claim that she’s a bigger fan, but I was a fan first, so nyah nyah to her. I fell in love with Assassin’s Creed while playing as Altair, up until the penultimate battle which will forever be ingrained in my memory as complete and utter bullshit. While I still love the first Assassin’s Creed, I could not imagine going back and playing it again after having played Ezio’s games. The level of improvement in the free-running mechanics, world interaction, travel, and more was simply stunning. Three games were released on the Assassin’s Creed II engine, and each of them seemed to feature some form of improvement over the last while working within the same development environment. Assassin’s Creed III, then, with its new engine, must be as much of a revelation now as Assassin’s Creed II was when it was released, no? Read the full story

Assassin’s Creed III comes out in exactly one week, and Ubisoft has far from relaxed their marketing machine leading into this final stretch. Come hell or high water, you’re going to KNOW about Assassin’s Creed III (even if you’re going to receive a launch-day surprise about Just Dance: Disney Party – come on, Ubi, where are your priorities?). The latest addition to the Assassin’s Creed III junket is an interactive trailer that blends gameplay trailers with a choose-your-own-adventure…adventure. Take a look at the walkthrough trailer, then head into the interactive trailer that follows it on the page. Read the full story
