REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

40% Of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Will Take Place On The High Seas

Posted on Monday, March 4 @ 12:00:00 Eastern by

Ubisoft has unveiled the latest in the Assassin's Creed series, ACIV Black Flag, and while we still don't know much about where the game takes its hero Edward Kenway, or what the Templars hope to find in the Carribean, we do know that you'll spend as much time on the high-seas as you will on land.

Speaking with Game Director Ashraf Ismail, I wondered how much of the campaign would consist of Naval missions and how much would put the player on land for now-classic Assassin's Creed combat and traversal gameplay.

"About 60% of the campaign is on land and about 40% will involve commanding your ship," Ismail explained. "Of course, naval events will pull you off the path after you set a waypoint. You could set out to a specific destination and end up losing half an hour exploring and engaging in naval gameplay."

We spoke with Ismail at length about Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and you can learn more about the game by reading our full preview or keeping it locked to GameRevolution's Assassin's Creed tag page.

    Is Ubisoft going to hype this game up to god like status like they did with ACIII? Then when the game comes out, it will be disappointing like 3 was?

    What's the timeline for ACIV? I read the preview but I don't think it said what year it'll be taking place. Also, I hope they make Wilmington, NC a destination. The pirate history there is fantastic.

    It would be great to cross swords with some legendary pirates.

    Not a lot of games accurately depict how fun it is to cross swords with great pirates.

    I haven't played 3 but I read that the protagonist in this is the grandfather of the protagonist in 3. If I'm not mistaken 3 took place during the American Revolution (mid 1760s-1770s??, I'm Canadian but I think that's about right) so the guys Grandfather would probably be maybe 55 years older (just basing this on my own grandfather) so I'll guess early 1700s.

    I wish it was flip-flopped, would rather be at sea 60%+ of the time. The naval side of AC3 was my favorite part of the game. I found myself only playing through the main story to unlock more naval missions.

    There's likely more than 40% of the game's content at sea, but the devs and staff on hand were sure to clarify that it was the campaign they were talking about.

    Ah makes sense. Either way the more high seas combat the better. Gonna be a long wait for this to come out.

    This is fine with me, 40 percent is still a nice big chunk of time at sea. I am ready for Open world ocean which sounds like thats how its gonna be.
