Oh Ubisoft! Have we not learnt of the nerdrage that results from draconian DRM? Apparently not, as CVG has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed 2 for the PC – and in fact all future games from the French publisher will feature what must be one of the worst ideas in Digital Right Management ever conceived. The game will require PC gamers …

Ubisoft have just released a new trailer for Splinter Cell Conviction and it is made entirely of win. You have to watch it after the break, you really do… but this brings me back to a pet peeve of mine. That boring God of War Trailer. Now God of War is more than likely going to be a better game …

After much investigation and countless guesses it was revealed that RUSE doesn’t stand for anything and …

The publisher has finally set the game’s release in stone – and while that’s normally used idiomatically, Ubisoft have done it quite literally. Instead of the regular boring press release they sent TeamXbox a rock – yes, a genuine rock – etched with the game’s logo and …
