News We Don't Know About You, But We're Totally Up For More Assassin's Creed
We think there was a bit of a collective groan throughout the gaming community when Ubisoft announced it was bringing Assassin's Creed back for a third consecutive year
But its hard to argue with the quality of the games Ubisoft puts out. The narrative stays consistently compelling, and the gameplay gets more and more ambitious with each iteration...
E3 2011 Watch Far Cry 3's 'Insanity' Demo In All Its Glory

Ubisoft just hit with the first big PlayStation Move game of E3 — Just Dance 3 is on the way to Sony's motion controller on 11th October.

E3 2011 What's Happening When?
It still doesn't feel like E3 is happening
Not properly. Tomorrow (June 6th) is arguably the biggest day in the PlayStation calendar, with Sony and others preparing to showcase their entire video game lineup for the coming year. Expects twists, turns, surprises and betrayals; it just wouldn't be E3 without them. EA's set to get the party started at...

Several US retailers are now listing an August 2nd release date for the compilation.
News Assassin's Creed: Revelations Teaser Trailer Gets Us Hyped In Record Time

Conquer the world from your sofa
So far, Buzz! The Ultimate Music Quiz has the Move quiz market all to itself, but that motion-controlled monopoly won't last long, as National Geographic Challenge! is on the way in June.

Now Amazon's revealed the game's place-holder boxart. And it's amazing. The online retailer is touting a release date of November 15th for the throwback platformer. We don't think there's any way such an unusual game will release slap-bang in the middle...

Splinter Cell 6 is a real video game if this image detected by GamerZines is anything to go on
The pictures — posted bizarrely by audio manufacturer Blue Sky — show a recording studio at Ubisoft Montreal with "SC6" logos plastered all over the place. There's also what appears to be a splash screen featuring Sam Fisher and night-vision...
Rumour Motion Sports Adrenaline Flowing to Move
Ubi gets sporty
Ubisoft released MotionSports on Kinect to almost universal apathy last year, so the rumour that the publisher is preparing a Move-enabled sequel might not fill you with excitement. UK retailer Gamesbasement has listed Motion Sports Adrenaline from Ubisoft, with no information other than an expectd £39.99 price tag. The...
News Let's Dance with Mel B Screenshots Show a Lack of Mel B
Perhaps that explains the delay
You'd think that a licensed game would make a big song and dance about its celebrity endorsement, but the ex-Scary Spice is nowhere to be seen in these screenshots for Ubisoft's Let's Dance with Mel B. Using the PlayStation Eye camera you'll be able to see yourself on-screen at all times, a big improvement over Ubi's...

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 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 Sorry UK, We Dare Is Too Risqu? For You Too
We haven't really said much about We Dare here on PushSquare

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?
