Posted on August 13, 2012 by Les Major

Ubisoft has confirmed there will be a PC release of Assassin’s Creed III in addition to it’s other versions. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are set for a Halloween release of October 31st with the Wii U version following up as a release title for Nintendo’s new console. The PC version will be released November 20th.

Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution in the late 18th  century, Assassin’s Creed III introduces a new hero, Ratohnhaké:ton,  of Native American and English heritage. Adopting the name Connor, he becomes the new voice for justice in the ancient war between the  Assassins and Templars. The game stars Connor as an Assassin in the war for  liberty against ruthless tyranny in the most stylized and fluid combat experiences in the franchise to date.

With an all new game engine and fresh animations not only does it sound like ACIII will be a smoother experience but the American Revolution backdrop looks fantastic with the more we see of the game. Including such amazing new features as naval warfare the sequel is living up to the expectations of improving the franchise with each new release.

Online Multiplayer and Wallace Wells DLC Coming To Scott Pilgrim


Posted on August 9, 2012 by Les Major

Ubisoft’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released way back when on August 25, 2010, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will be receiving a new DLC pack this month. This new download, which will cost 400 Microsoft Points, includes online multiplayer and Wallace, presumably as a playable character. This information comes from majornelson.com, which dates the Xbox 360 version’s release for August 19th. Ubisoft PR rep Alex Monney stated that details for the PS3 version are on the way.

With Wallace Wells as a playable character, it’s assumable that much like the Knives Chau DLC, he will have his own ending in the game. Wallace is Scott’s roommate from the comic series, so he should make for an interesting addition to the game’s cast. It’s also worth mentioning that the colored version of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life is being released this week.
