A little something that piqued my interest...

Assassin's Creed, to be released early 2007, is set in 1191 AD at around the time the Third Crusade was messin' with the Holy Land, or something like that. Can't find much about it as of now, it certainly seems a work in progress, but from what I can see Assassin's Creed has the potential to define a fun new way of action/adventure gaming. The most intriguing feature, which if Ubisoft can pull it off sounds pretty ground-breaking, is giving the player the power to introduce chaos to their surroundings and shape history to their choosing. Playing as the cheeky chappy Altair, your aim is to supress both sides of the Third Crusade conflict, and kick it assassin style.

I for one will be keeping an eye on this one. Great potential methinks.

British Gaming Blog's Sister Site...It Rocks, Basically

For those readers who currently reside in the UK, please, on high recommendation, head over to newly launched Bacon's Bargains. It keeps you fully up to date with all the bargains to be had. It's run by British Gaming Blog's news, reviews, Sony and Microsoft editor - MCBacon. I have already used one of the bargain's listed on the site to nab Saints row for under 30 quid, nice. Go see, definately worth it.

On a side note, it has bargains for all current platforms, so head over there no matter what systems you own.

Just (Cause >_<) a quick post

This is just a short little post to say Just Cause, sheduled for release later this month, is shaping up to be a big hit come this autumn (fall?). IGN in particular seems especially impressed with what they have seen of a near final build. They even go as far to say that developers Avalanche has managed to get

'an almost perfectly tuned concoction of disparate elements, melding fluid driving and vehicle hopping, daredevil stunts, elegant on-foot action and epic exploration almost seamlessly.'

Check out the in depth article, definately worth a read for those looking forward to this games release.

(didn't end up being such a short post did it? oh well...)

What a way to be announced...

In a quite frankly awkward way to be announced, PGR4 is (surprise surprise!) coming to an Xbox360 near you. Of ALL people to announce Bizarre's next racing game...it's Peugeot...Project Gotham Racing 4, developed by Bizarre, announced to the world by... Peugeot...it's not logical is it...
This, although not official comfirmation, means that the fact PGR4 is in development is a dead cert. Personally i hadn't even thought about PGR4, despite being an avid fan of the series i assumed they were going to leave it at 3, but, apparently Bizarre had other plans. It will be VERY interesting to see the graphical jump it will have over its next generation predecessor (does that make sense?) PGR3 because if you consider the leap PGR2 had over 1, it was quite substancial. All i really want in this sequel though is full anti aliasing though, man i hated those jaggies...
