News Oh Hey Ubisoft, What's Assassin's Creed: Revelations All About?
The best thing about the months prior to E3 is when publishers and developers alike accidentally leak their own information
We'll never forget when Sony uploaded an episode of Qore a few days early, giving everyone the scoop on the PSPgo before it was even announced. While not quite as excessive, it does seem like Ubisoft has just accidentally...

News Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Sells A Colosseum Full Of Copies
Probably the most interesting tid-bit from Ubisoft's financial call today -- aside from the publisher's 'dancing game' business being a success of 'hammertime' proportions -- was the news that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has surpassed 6
5 million units shipped. That's a helluva lot of back-stabbing. We always thought it was mankind's guilty...

News Ubisoft Confirm There'll Be "Something" Assassin's Creed Related In 2011
Hmmm
We're letting Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood slide because we think it looks amazing. That said, we're not sure Ubisoft can continue making yearly installment of Assassin's Creed. The franchise needs space to breathe and grow, so it's a little worrying to hear Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot touting more Assassin's Creed for 2011. There will be...
So good
Ubisoft's released Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's launch trailer and, as expected, it's properly amazing.
