News So, That Modern Day Call Of Juarez Game Is Still Happening
We loved the last Call Of Juarez game, but this new modern day setting isn't hooking us
Clubs, gangsters and cars in a cowboy franchise seem a bit — odd. Granted, we're probably not giving Call Of Juarez: The Cartel the fairest of shakes because we enjoyed the previous title so much. And at the very least this is a unique setting for a...

News We're Still Not Convinced By Call Of Juarez's New Direction
Nah
Still not doing it for us. We loved Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood because of the wild west setting. But we just can't imagine Call Of Juarez: The Cartel capturing the same tone in modern times. This trailer tries really hard, but it raises one simple question: if you're trying so hard to be like the wild west, why not just be the wild west?

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...
