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...

[UPDATE]: ACIII Revolutionary Setting Confirmed, Next AC Goes Colonial

Posted on Thursday, March 1 @ 10:29:00 Eastern by
[Update]


GameInformer has updated with their April Cover confirming the American Revolution setting for Assassin's Creed III.

[Original Story]



That pose, that outfit - it looks familiar. But we know Ezio and Altair never were around during the early days of America. And with a new Assassin's Creed announcement being teased for early next week, we'd put money down that the US of A is where the series will be heading to next.

This image with the new protagonist standing in front of the Betsy Ross flag was furnished by a Best Buy employee, who sent it to Kotaku.

But that's not the only evidence we have. Another keen-eyed watchdog from ToasterVision, caught a banner up on GameInformer's website showing this same assassin about to thrust his wrist blade into the back of one of our founding fathers.



With all of this evidence, look out for this to be made official very soon.

Tell GR: Does an assassin make sense in that era?

    Well, Ubisoft did release their gamer covers for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. So...
    Anyways, It might be a nice setting. I'm predicting Benedict Arnold would be a Templar and Paul Revere will be your pal that shows you the way of the Assassins.

    Sorry, but this looks really, really stupid. The only thing that could redeem this game would be a God of War-esque mini game with Benjamin Franklin and some whores.

    The AC games have the worst plot.

    Hehe... it got this "the patriot" feel that i like here. It ain't not Russia 1917 BUT i am happy we get to kick ass next to Washington!

    LIEN FUN FACT: Did you know that Benjamin Franklin's own son, William Franklin the one who helped him with the famous kite during a storm experiment, was a loyalist and secretly a spy for king George III during the war of independence? He even received an order directly from the kings court to assassinate his own father!
    So yeah! assassins fit in that era, can't wait to climb the liberty bell!

    Will climbing still play a role in this AC? Were there a lot of tall buildings and things to climb other than trees during the American Revolution...hhmm.

    The assassin clothes doesn't mesh well with the period, I'm not into this very much if they keep that look. Might be interesting otherwise.

    My view on it is that the Assassin's Creed games have always really focused on time periods that other games have forgotten. Crusades and Renaissance weren't really used outside of occassionally city builders and RTS games. Revolutionary America is mostly the same.

    I was really hoping for a feudal Japan setting. This should still be pretty sweet though.
