Posted on June 2, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
The next mobile entry in the Assassins Creed franchise may have been revealed in the latest Game Informer if information posted to popular gaming forum NEOGAF is correct. A member of the NEOGAF community claims to have got their hands on issue of the latest GI which features a preview for Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation for PlayStation Vita.
Supposedly the game will take place alongside Assassins Creed III and will star a young female protagonist named Aveline as she explores New Orleans. Connor from the console version of assassin’s Creed three is also said to make an appearance in Liberation. The title of the game suggests that the slave trade will play a role in the game’s plot and according to the post on NEOGAF Aveline’s mentor maybe an escaped slave.
Hopefully the rumors surrounding Liberation end up being true. We will find out more during either Ubisoft’s or Sony’s press comments on Monday.

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
We know for sure that Halo 4 will be going shown on Monday morning at Microsoft’s E3 press conference. We also know that there is a private internal private multiplayer beta going on within the depths of MS. It looks like more footage from the internal beta has leaked onto YouTube.
The map featured in the new video looks to be the open air Wraparound, one of the first two maps unveiled back in January. On the weapons front the player mostly uses the assault rifle, again something we’ve seen a lot of, until the last twenty seconds when they pick up a front loaded grenade launcher, similar to the variant we saw in Halo: Reach.
Thankfully this video wasn’t recorded off of a CRT television using a handy cam from the late 90s. Although the quality of this video is still rather poor. Check it out after the jump.Read More
