Loot Boxes Grow in Prevalence and Insidiousness
What ya buyin’? I’m sure most everyone is sick of reading about loot boxes. Trust me, I’m tired of having to bitch about them. Trust me, we’re all going to hate the prevalence of these little gambling boxes way more soon. I recently lambasted Microsoft and Turn 10 for introducing loot boxes into Forza Motorsport 7. Back in August, I did the same to Monolith’s Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. It ...[Read More]
E3 2017: Assassin’s Creed Origins
Kill like an Egyptian After a yearlong hiatus, the mainline Assassin’s Creed series gets a new title. Fans of the series are no doubt hoping that Assassin’s Creed Origins eschews the stale gameplay that plagued more recent titles and returns the series to prominence. The game takes players all the way back to ancient Egypt, circa 49 B.C. You play as Bayek and make your way through the ancient land...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed “Enter the Animus” Trailer Released
I know, I know, we haven’t posted up any information about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie. Speaking for myself, part of the reason in fear. The trailers look interesting, and Michael Fassbender is a great actor. But…IT’S ASSASSIN’S CREED! Plus, it’s a video game movie. Warcraft was treated pretty harshly, and I thought it was decent. I dunno about this one&...[Read More]

Never Played: Assassin’s Creed: Unity
To me, the Assassin’s Creed series died with Unity. It was, without a doubt, the worst game in the series. I’m including Assassin’s Creed III in that argument. And I said that without ever having played Unity. That is an egregious fault on my part. I based that declaration on the negative press Unity received upon launch. I based it on the raft of glitches and crashes people experienced on launch ...[Read More]
Ubisoft Noncommittal on Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry for 2017
Ubisoft swore off releasing a new Assassin’s Creed game for 2016, the first time the series has been on hiatus since its debut in 2009. If Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is to be believed, we might not see a new entry in 2017, either. Guillemot sat down with GameSpot and discussed the future. He’s preaching patience, giving the impression that the French publisher is focusing on releasing a quality pr...[Read More]
