PREVIEW: Far Cry 4
November 6, 2014 | Shaxster
Far Cry 3 was an amazing game. Traversing the stunning tropical world of Rook Island, hunting animals and taking down militias…it was quite something. Based on our brief time with Far Cry 4, it’s more of the same: and that’s a very good thing. Read More

REVIEW: Watch Dogs
July 2, 2014 | Shaxster 2
Watch Dogs is not an original game.
It is an amalgamation of all that has come before. It is an iteration on Grand Theft Auto, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. It is not new. It is not special. And it isn’t very good. Read More

June 17, 2014 | Shaxster 11

June 8, 2014 | D Salcedo 1
Ubisoft is entering E3 with supreme confidence: and rightly so. New IP Watch Dogs has been a huge success, and with new versions of Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry planned for this fall they’re sure to have a very merry Christmas.
