March 5, 2012Erik Kain

Okay, so I may have a problem with the assassin’s costume in ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ – but I still think the Revolutionary War setting was a smart move by Ubisoft. This trailer confirms both these views. The game looks gorgeous. I love the idea of racing across snowy boughs, high above the British troops. I […]

Ubisoft Made The Right Decision To Set ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ In The New World

March 2, 2012Erik Kain

I may have gripes about the assassin’s costume in Assassin’s Creed 3, but the more screenshots I see of the game itself, the more I think it was an excellent move by Ubisoft to bring the franchise to the New World, and to the American Revolutionary War in particular.
