Now is the time for a Switch exclusive Assassin’s Creed

Now is the time for a Switch exclusive Assassin’s Creed

The news of Assassin’s Creed Valhallah coming this year is wonderful, it’s just a shame that it isn’t making its way to the Switch. Ubisoft should do the right thing and grace the Switch with an exclusive.

It is unlikely to happen, Ubisoft are all in on the next generation with Valhallah, and I certainly wouldn’t be expecting a port of that to make its way to Nintendo’s machine, even if the long rumoured upgraded version was ever to see the light. But Ubisoft have an established relationship with Nintendo, just look at the success of Mario and Rabbids and the special version of Starlink. They have also shown a willingness to engage with the platform as shown by the recent Remastered releases of Assassin’s Creed 3 and the Assassin’s Creed Rebel Collection. …

Our Year in Games 2016 – Chris (Part One)

Comments 0 Comment

Welcome to Our Year in Games coming at you from Reticule Towers. I realise that we didn’t do any sort of yearly roundup for 2015, but we’re making up for it this year. I’ve invited a few old faces to take part in Our Year in Games, so hopefully you won’t just have me for company!

I’m probably going to split my tales across a few entries to cover the games from previous years that I’ve been playing this year as well as the games from 2016 that I’ve been playing. So read on and enjoy. …

The Thames in AC: Syndicate Reminds Me of Something…

The Thames in AC: Syndicate Reminds Me of Something…

Comments 0 Comment

I’ve been greatly enjoying my adventures in Victorian London in Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate so far. Some of the game mechanics will be awfully familiar to anyone who has played any other Assassin’s Creed game, but it is the London setting that makes the game stand out. There is something about the Thames that I find strangely alluring, the movement of the boats and barges hints at a city that is truly alive. What makes the Thames stand out even more in my mind, is that it well and truly reminds me something from my childhood… …

EGX Hands On – Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

EGX Hands On – Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

Comments 0 Comment

When I was at EGX, I mentioned on Twitter that I hadn’t played anything from the Assassin’s Creed series since the high-seas action of Black Sails, but that was about to change as I was in the queue for Syndicate, the latest game in the series that will be taking us to Victorian London. I also took some fairly ropey photos of Ubisoft’s booth for the game, but that’s by-the-by. I played Syndicate at the show, not once, but twice. Both times, I was impressed. …

EXG 2015 – Day One Report

EXG 2015 – Day One Report

Comments 0 Comment

This year, the biggest annual gaming show in Britain has moved. No longer am I travelling down the M4 to visit EGX in Earl’s Court in London while staying in a rip-off hotel. This time, I have travelled up the M5 to the NEC in Birmingham while crashing with some family. Bit of a difference I must say, but it means that I can sit here on my netbook with a can of Strongbow and the New Zealand v Namibia match in the Rugby World Cup.

My visit this year will last until mid-afternoon Saturday. One reason for not doing the full four days is that I want to be back in Wales to watch Saturday’s massive World Cup fixture as Wales take on England. Now that I’ve bored you all to the high heavens with logistics and rugby, I’ll proceed with the my Day One report. …

Assassin’s Creed Unity – A Preview of Sorts

Assassin’s Creed Unity – A Preview of Sorts

Comments 0 Comment

How fast a year (well 11 months) goes by, it feels like only yesterday that I was settling down in the dark cold months to play Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag in what was a return to form for the series after some slight miss-steps. Now I look and we are just over a month away from the next big title in the series (Rogue is on a personal back-burner) and our chance to explore the streets of revolutionary Paris. Do you want some hints of what might be occurring in Unity? I’ve gathered some trailers after the break and shared some thoughts on the how the game is shaping up. …

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag – The Verdict

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag – The Verdict

Comments 6 comments

Some people might wonder why I am delivering my Verdict of Black Flag when I haven’t even finished the game yet. If someone asked me that question I would reply by saying something along the lines of “I have played enough of if to pass judgement on whether it is a good game, and if I would be happy to buy it.” Without further ado, why not hit the break and find out what I have made of the game after around 12 hours or so with it. …
