Trailers: Assassin’s Creed III reveal trailer

Considering how woefully under-informative that reveal is, we can only speculate as to ACIII‘s details. My speculation? Benjamin Franklin is the new Da Vinci, but far more of a ladies’ man. Seeing as no other speculation could possibly live up to an immaculate Ben Franklin orgy, I’ll just leave the rest to your imaginations.

Reactions: Assassin’s Creed III officially set in American Revolution

And there’s some very official box art to prove it. Little is known about the conclusion to the Assassin’s Creed trilogy right now, but based on the box art, it’s probably safe to assume that bows, old timey guns, and tomahawks will be featured weapons. And unless that redcoat just made a dire social faux pas, it seems as if the British will be aligned with the Templars while colonials, Native Americans, and the French side with the Assassins. Here’s to hoping that “tar and feather” becomes a new attack.

Trailers: So what’s this I Am Alive all about?

As you can see from the video above, it is clearly not about an everyday Joe, no matter what the developers want us to believe. But there probably aren’t many people interested in this game for an authentic narrative to begin with. So let’s forgive the super parkour abilities and look to the very interesting and unique tactical elements Ubisoft is bringing to the Survival-Horror genre.

Trailers: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier dev diary

Well, they effectively took two minutes to explain that they’ve added some more animations and pseudo-destructable cover to Gears of War‘s cover system. As a matter of fact, I’m having trouble identifying just about anything new that this game is doing. Well, unless you consider putting Call of Duty into third person new. Oh, wait…

Reactions: Far Cry 3 dated, Assassin’s Creed 3 and new Splinter Cell confirmed for 2012 [Updated with gameplay footage]

Firstly, I’d just like to say that the gameplay demos of Far Cry 3 have looked fantastic and that its September 4th release date (in North America; the 6th for Europe) can’t come soon enough. And now, because I couldn’t have put it any better myself, I’ll allow VG247 commenter absolutezero to sum up my thoughts on this trailer:

Reactions: Ghost Recon Online Beta unlocks March 5th

You know, if you’re looking for a free competitive PC Shooter experience that isn’t as good as Team Fortress 2. Fewer classes = inferior experience, and that’s just math.

Trailers: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier gameplay

“You don’t win the battle by doing what’s right. You win by doing what’s necessary.” Gee golly, I sure can’t wait to unlock the mustard gas perk after 3-starring the torture section! I mean seriously, does Ubisoft not realize what a huge field day the media could have with a trailer like this? Frankly, I wouldn’t even blame them. This is nothing short of gadget porn that glorifies dehumanizing technology with the power to kill.

Reactions: Microsoft’s “House Party 2012″ headlined by I Am Alive, Alan Wake

Before we move on to how out of touch Microsoft’s marketing people are (oh, there’s a trailer below that will blow your mind), let us first discuss the game featured in the above video–I Am Alive. The title’s development struggles have been well documented and there’s certainly reason for concern when we stop to consider that it shifted developers mid-development and transformed from a full-fledged retail game to a downloadable title. And that gameplay does look a little rough around the edges in the graphical department. But I can honestly say that Ubisoft Shanghai’s take on the post-apocalypse is one of my most anticipated games of the year. It’s just fundamentally different from nearly every other game on the market today, and in this humble writer’s hopes, has the potential to revolutionize video games’ take on the post-apocalypse in a very positive way. So dude: seriously, just buy it.
