If Ghost Recon: Future Soldier wasn’t on your radar before, then this crushing story trailer for Ubisoft’s squad-based shooter will slam the game into your sights permanently!
Watch below as phantom soldiers use advanced gadgets to gain the upper-hand in a pulse-pounding video:
We may all remember Trials HD as the supremely challenging, nigh on impossible puzzle/platform/stunt/racing game that tested your nerves (and patience) as you gingerly made your way through devious 2D courses on your bike.
The Xbox LIVE Arcade game was (and still is) very popular indeed and now developer RedLynx is ready to follow up the success of Trials HD with Trials Evolution, a game that is much more than a mere sequel.
With Ubisoft’s upcoming tactical squad-based shooter, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, now only hitting our shelves in May, we’re going to need every bit of information we can gather to help us last the extra wait.
Ubisoft has announced today that the Mediterranean Traveller map pack for Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is now available for download over Xbox LIVE for Xbox 360, as well as for PC gamers.
The world has seen the last of the polar ice caps, global warming has raised the sea-level by a few meters and the world map looks completely different. Huge corporations have taken over the world and everything has been reduced to a race for making the biggest buck. This is the world of Anno 2070, a look into our future.
Even though Anno 2070 is a real-time strategy game you should be warned that this isn’t your StarCraft 2 or Command and Conquer RTS with lots of units and lots of action. Yes, you have combat in Anno 2070, but this game is for the budding economist.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is set to receive a whopping six additional multiplayer maps this month when The Mediterranean Traveller map pack goes live for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC gamers.
At this point, it might just be better for Ubisoft to say the game is “done when it’s done.”
After suffering numerous delays out of 2010 and into 2011, and then being forced back into 2012, Ubisoft has recently announced another delay for its tactical squad-based shooter, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
Rayman Origins is one of the most unique, charming and addictive platformers released in 2011, and its appearance on 3DS and PS Vita during the first quarter of this year is bound to generate thousands of new fans.
Rayman Origins is an amazing, outstanding game. If you don’t agree, go read El33tonline’s review and see if you can deny the charm and pure whimsy of it all.
You can’t do it, can you? You can’t deny the whimsy. It’s impossible.
If you haven’t yet actually played Rayman Origins, however, it becomes a little more difficult to argue against the game’s lush visuals, wonderful music and challenging, fluid gameplay, so it’s a good thing El33tonline and Ubisoft South Africa gave someone a chance to experience the game for themselves with a competition!
But this wasn’t just any competition - we were giving away a Rayman Origins hamper! Let’s find out who will be receiving the goodies…
At its best, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations will make you feel like an untouchable assassin during times when things were still simple, but at its worst, you’ll get a sense of déjà vu, kind of like you have been there before, killed that guard before and clambered up this building before.
In-between these moments you will encounter a few scenarios that will shock you and awe you: You will be awed by how much detail can be crammed into a city the size of Constantinople, but you will be shocked that Ubisoft is getting a bit desperate and trying its hand at tower defence mini-games.

For too long the general perception of gamers has been that of a bunch of couch potatoes with greasy hair and generally slobbish behaviour - I say this in the past tense as things have certainly changed a lot lately. With the advent of the Xbox 360 Kinect more and more games have started to use your whole body as the controller. Now that it’s no longer just our thumbs getting a workout we should see a new generation of gamers with lean and fit bodies walking the streets. Or should I say ‘dancing in the lounges?’
With this in mind we’ve seen a few fitness games being published, but I use the term ‘games’ loosely as up to now these titles have been more of an exercise routine rather than a fun game to play, and this turns out to be the very best part of the latest fitness game from Ubisoft, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012: It’s a lot of fun!

It’s a bit of a daunting task engaging in critical discussion surrounding the latest Rayman game from Ubisoft and industry luminary, Michel Ancel. It’s always tricky providing critique for a game of any description, but when one encounters a title that has clearly been lavished with love, care and attention at every step of development, with tons to see and loads of small touches to enjoy, it becomes a frightening prospect simply because you don’t want to leave anything out or make that game sound less than amazing.
So it is with Rayman Origins, an action platformer quite unlike anything I’ve played before. A game that’s fit to bursting with sights and sounds of utter delight and spellbinding charm to spare. A game that combines the speed and precision of the best Sonic games with the ingenuity and flow of a classic Mario adventure.
Rayman Origins is a pure game, and I want to tell you all about it.

Who would have thought that Ubisoft’s crazy creations would have become such a mainstay of the videogaming spectrum with the release of Rayman’s Raving Rabbids years ago, but we’re definitely glad that the outrageous Rabbids have hung around to provide us all with tons of mischievous and hilarious gaming action!
Those rascally Rabbid creatures are back in Raving Rabbids: Alive and Kicking for Xbox 360 and Kinect, and not only are there more of them this time around, but they’re even more devious… and social!
We haven’t decided if this is a good thing or not.

We may have already glimpsed a target render video for Ubisoft’s 2013 tactical shooter, Rainbow Six: Patriots, and we’ve already read about the rise of the ‘True Patriots,’ the game’s fictitious terrorist group, but now we get a look at the shocking scenes we’ll be tasked with stopping thanks to the release of the first official trailer.
Terror runs riot in Rainbox Six: Patriots, and as an operative, we’ll be given the chance to keep the world safe once more:
The NPD Group recently released its monthly report on sales in the US videogame industry with news of Xbox 360 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 domination in November 2011 during a month where overall sales were flat, year-over-year.
As is customary, the hardware powerhouses in gaming (namely Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) released statements of their own in order to put NPD’s sales figures into perspective, while Ubisoft also chimed in.
What did the big three have to say about their respective US market performances during November 2011? What has Ubisoft got to say for itself? Let’s find out:
