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 My Fitness Coach: Club Release Date Confirmed as March 18th
We Dare slips too
The other day we posted a news story that My Fitness Coach: Club was set to be released on February 18th, but we've just received clarification from publisher Ubisoft that the game is in fact down to launch in Europe on Friday March 18th 2011. There was a double-whammy of release date changes from Ubisoft, in fact, as bizarre...

Ubisoft is about to have you covered with We Dare, coming to European PlayStation Movers this Friday. While the game blurb...
We loved 2009's Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood so much that we pitched it as being "to the wild-west what Call Of Duty 4 was to modern warfare"
So when we saw the words Call Of Juarez: The Cartel popping up on gaming websites across the 'net this afternoon, we jumped into our inbox with a tangible sense of optimism. Sure enough, we had a press...
News My Fitness Coach Club Gets Europe Sweaty on February 18th
Hits North America in March
Ubisoft has so many fitness franchises it's probably struggling to keep up with their names itself: Wii owners have played My Fitness Coach and Your Shape, and Kinect gamers have probably played Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, but the company's about to take its first steps onto PlayStation Move with My Fitness Coach: Club...

News Ubisoft Announces Fit In Six For The PlayStation 3, Move
Given the amount of exercise we exert while playing games such as The Fight and EA Sports Active 2, we'd like to think that the stigma surrounding video gamers health is slowly starting to vanish
For what it's worth, we genuinely think games like EA Sports Active 2 are a reasonable replacement for the gym, so how anyone can associate video games...
News Ubisoft's Dance on Broadway Joins the Crowded Chorus Line
So much dancing
With its vast catalogue of dancing games it's a wonder Ubisoft waited this long to bring a title to Move, but it's not waiting much longer as Dance on Broadway is heading to the controller soon.

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...
News Ubisoft Push Ghost Recon: Future Soldier & Driver: San Francisco Into Next Fiscal Year
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Driver: San Francisco were both expected to release in Ubisoft's fourth fiscal quarter

So good
Ubisoft's released Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's launch trailer and, as expected, it's properly amazing.

There are plenty of contraptions featured in the trailer, delivered no doubt by returning favourite Leonardo Da Vinci. Heck, there's even a...
News Check Out The First Ten Minutes Of The Prince Of Persia Trilogy HD
That Prince Of Persia Trilogy HD disc is out in Europe next week
Despite the collection being a bit of a bargain (three remastered games for under £25), there doesn't appear to be much hype surrounding the release. Which we suppose is somewhat understandable. Still, perhaps this video of the game's first ten-minutes will trigger some memories and...

Meet the Hellequin (after a few moments of awkward black screen), one of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's unlockable multiplayer characters
The knife-wielding crowd pleaser can only be unlocked using Ubisoft's in-game rewards method "UPlay", so you'll need to pay attention to this tutorial video for more on that. The character looks cool...
News We Suppose This Could Be Considered A Spoiler Right? Keep Scrolling If So...
Guess who's signed up to take part in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood? You guessed? Yeah, we did too
The cross-over cotinues after the jump... Yup, that's totally Raiden from the Metal Gear franchise. Just like Altair was in Metal Gear Solid 4, Raiden's set to appear as an unlockable costume in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. We reckon Ezio's a dead...

Us European folks have been playing it for a while, and we've gotten pretty good at stabbing people in the back — so just be careful out there guys.
First Impressions Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on PS3 Multiplayer
Online multiplayer has slowly been getting more predictable
While every game attempts to gazump Call Of Duty by offering the exact same suite of features, we've been slowly playing less and less attention. Multiplayer used to be a feature that got us vastly excited about any game that supported it. Nowadays we spend 5-10 minutes seeing how a title...

News More PlayStation Classics Emerge, Mortal Kombat & Prince Of Persia To Support 3D
Perhaps one of the more divisive decisions this generation has been to remaster some of the PlayStation 2's classic titles for the PlayStation 3
We sit firmly on the "Love the idea" side of the fence, but not everyone agrees. We'd argue that improving the performance of classic PlayStation titles, while adding in new features such as 3D,...

News Shaun White Skateboarding Actually Looks Really Rather Good
We can't get on with the Skate games
We appreciate why people enjoy the hardcore stick-flicking of EA's franchise, but we grew up with the Tony Hawk games, where you mash lots of buttons and watch your score multiply. Sadly, the Tony Hawk franchise is dead-dead-dead now. But we still do crave a bit of arcade skateboarding. Thank goodness for Shaun...
News Racket Sports Brings That Familiar Wii Aesthetic To The PlayStation 3
We're not sure if you know this about us, but we have a mega soft-spot for tennis-esque video games
It's why we spent much of the Dreamcast generation playing Virtua Tennis, and why our arm's hurting this morning from trying to beat Kenji in the Silver Cup on Sports Champions. As such, we're probably more excited about Racket Sports coming to the...
News Shall We Have Another Look At Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Then?
For as much as we like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's protagonist, Ezio, the man's a bit of a psycho isn't he? This trailer alone proves that
