Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection Review
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Publisher: Ubisoft Platform Reviewed: PlayStation 4 Release Date: November 15, 2016 Acquired via: Purchase by Reviewer I jumped into the Assassin’s Creed series extremely late.

For Honor is one of the games I saw at E3 that really interested me, and I wanted to take it for a spin. Of course, since I am older than video games, I promptly forgot about it and went on with my life. Last Friday, I received an email...[Read More]
