I was pleasantly surprised as I watched the new Assassins' Creed: Black Flag gameplay video. The video features 7 minutes of gameplay footage as a narrator explains to the viewer what there is to be done in the new upcoming Assassins' Creed.
Personally I've been getting quite bored of the franchise, and when Ubisoft announced that they had plans to release a new AC game yearly, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. AC began as a series that was new and refreshing, but we saw that trying to reuse the same gameplay mechanics again and again just didn't work, even if the stories were quite compelling.
I was quite happy to see that the new Black Flag game actually looked quite good in this new gameplay video.
The gameplay shows off plenty of features involved with the high seas. We already know that the new game is pirate themed, but you may be surprised to see just how much of the game actually involves pirate shenanigans. In AC4: Black Flag, players will have their own

Two years in a row now, Ubisoft has taken the stage to show off the wonders of Watch_Dogs. From what we've seen the game looks spectacular, and it's been shown off as a game that gives players an unprecedented amount of choice when it comes to playing through the game and making decisions that can affect gameplay.
The footage we've seen has been so impressive that a lot of gamers have been curious to know whether the game footage used was real gameplay or whether it was just scripted to give out a certain feel to the game.
It's been done in the past where a development team will show off a game at E3, and then a year or two later upon its release, the actual game looks and plays a whole lot different than the game we expected after seeing the E3 footage.
According to Ubisoft's Danny Belanger though, everything shown off at E3 is gameplay footage representative of the final game. Danny Belanger said that "There are many questions about the systemic or scripted nature

After hearing about the specifics on hardware for the next gen consoles, and learning that the PlayStation 4 has a very promising 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, many have discussed whether games on the PlayStation 4 will have differences to their Xbox One counterparts.
One game that has been involved hotly in this topic is Watch_Dogs, a new open-world game by Ubisoft that looks absolutely incredible.
Ubisoft have addressed many gamer's curiosities this week though, stating that "The Xbox One is a powerful platform, as of now we do not foresee a major difference in on screen result between the PS4 and the Xbox One. Obviously we are still working on pushing the game on these new consoles, we are still doing R&D."
"This said, the platforms have some specificity that we are leveraging. For example, we are making use of the touchpad on the DualShock 4."
The developers behind Watch_Dogs seem to be very

More Details on AC4
Ubisoft have tried their luck with yet another Assassins' Creed title, and although true fans are growing thin, there's no doubt that Assassins' Creed 4 will see good sales. Despite the game being talked about a fair amount in the industry, details on the game are quite sparse, and the strange pirate theme hasn't been discussed by Ubisoft much. We can gather a little information from Ubisoft though, and the developer has started giving more info on the title through interviews and press releases.
It turns out that there will be a total of three major locations in Assassins' Creed 4, with each one fitting into the Caribbean environment that Ubisoft has chosen for the game for its

More Assassins Creed Games Will Come
The Assassin's Creed series has been one of the most enjoyable franchises I've played for a long time, at least for the singleplayer that is. And despite the plentiful amount of titles, I've accepted that Ubisoft has managed to keep it relatively new each time round.
However, with the announcement of the new Black Flag game, you start to wonder how far is too far, and now Ubisoft has planned to drag the franchise out with even more Assassin's Creed games after Black Flag, and there's now no doubt that the AC series has turnt into one big cash cow.
Apparently, after Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, the two

Assassin's Creed Bug
It's rare that DLC ever causes problems, and usually if any download content does happen to have a major bug or glitch, it's usually postponed until fixed. However, every now and then players will come across a bug that has slipped past the game testers, and at times it can be totally game-breaking.
This is certainly the case for Hidden Secrets, a new download content pack available for Assassins’ Creed 3.
Players that have downloaded the new DLC are complaining that after first playing the game after installing the DLC, the game has erased nearly all of the player's progress and hard work back to 0% completion
After a

Ubisoft Sale
Ubisoft is one of the biggest publishers out there, and they've been responsible for some of the most successful video games of this decade. Thanks to Ubisoft we've had Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins' Creed, and a whole lot more.
But today, it's Ubisoft that are saying thanks to their fans, and they're doing this by releasing a huge sale on Ubisoft titles available to download from the Xbox LIVE marketplace.
The discount sale has been planned for a while now, but after a fair amount of waiting, the winter Ubisoft sale has finally started on the Xbox 360.
At the top of the discount are the Assassins' Creed games. Assassins Creed 1 and 2 have

Far Cry 3 Info
If you enjoy playing through campaigns and story modes with your friend, then news on Far Cry 3's new Co-op features may or may not be good news to you.
The Co-op gameplay will offer a complete new story which is played out 6 months before the main campaign but still on the same island, as it follows four characters exclusive to the co-op campaign.
Quite often developers end up paying less attention to co-op side missions or extra content, and that's if they include it at all, but Far Cry 3's creative director, Magnus Jensen, says the multiplayer co-op offers the same kind of intensity of the full game.
"The co-op is a full, custom-made campaign,"

Assassin's Creed 3 Info
We all know the basis of Assassins Creed, and as the franchise grows, the same features we've seen in every game will come back again and again, but what will make the 5th game in the series any different, and what will give us enough excitement to follow the story even further?
The combat mechanics in the new game aren't going to change much from its predecessors, which makes sense since the controls have been smooth enough since the beginning, but as Assassins Creed 3 is set a little closer to home in regards to history, we'll often come across many weapons in the game that require a little change of tactics,

Recently a screenshot of interest has popped up in an official Ubisoft forum. The reason why the screenshot is of importance is the fact that this picture might be our first glimpse at a new Prince of Persia remake.Prince of Persia has come quiet far since its modest beginning as a side scroller. The franchise has been re-invented several times during the past years and I believe all of the games released under the name have been amazing. I count myself lucky to have played all of the recent games.
Being a fan of the franchise I was immediately interested in the possibility of a new remake especially since Ubisoft is behind it; Ubisoft has been responsible for a LOT of amazing games this past year and has an amazing line-up for 2013.
