    Ubisoft claims new DRM scheme was designed by ‘PC guys’ who are our ‘friends’

    Is it even worth getting upset over this Ubisoft nonsense? By now you've certainly heard about the company's plans to implement a new form of DRM for its PC releases—I've only written about it 800 times in the past month! The DRM is bat-shit crazy, sure, but it's the sentiment behind it that has me concerned this Sunday morning.

    Review: Assassin’s Creed 2

    AC2_Screenshot_008Ubisoft needed to publish something amazing given their anemic financials thus far this year, and Assassin's Creed 2 delivered. Assassin's Creed 2 was simply put, amazing. The sequel vastly improves upon Assassin's Creed which given all the hype, was disappointing to say the least. The game plays on the strengths of Assassin's Creed, most notably the free-running, and is no longer monotonous and repetitive, like its predecessor. If you want to complete all of the quests in this game, I would suggest setting aside around 35-40 hours. It took me a little over 25 hours to complete the main quest, as well as completing about 80% of the side quests (feathers notwithstanding, there was no way I was going to look for 100 of those). If you never played Assassin's Creed, I suggest taking the time to look online for synopses of the game so that you get a feel for what happened as Assassin's Creed 2 does a poor job of rehashing the tale. I played the first game almost a year ago so i was hazy on the plot and was a bit disappointed that I had to look up the Wikipedia page to figure out what was going on. Ubisoft could have done a better job here by having some flashbacks, or even some dialogue at the beginning of the game to help those who are new, or haven't played in a while.

    Another big day in gaming: Assassin’s Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 & Tony Hawk Part 900

    Today's another big day in gaming, friends. (You'll notice that we're practically a game blog now. I blame the publishers for releasing the biggest games of the year within a few days of each other.) Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed II, Valve's Left 4 Dead 2, and Activision's Tony Hawk Ride come out today (I assume the Tony Hawk franchise is still around because it's still popular. I haven't played one since Tony Hawk 4.)
