A few months ago, Ubisoft announced that it would be giving an overhaul treatment to one of the franchises more polarizing experiences, Assassin's Creed III. Set during the American Revolution, the time period was a perfect fit for the franchise, but a number of glitches and game play issues held his title back, leaving a bad taste in the mouth of many. Now, years later, we all get to enjoy a more fully featured and complete version of Assassin's Creed III, and I could not be more excited!

More Thoughts From Me #157: Checking Out Dreams
Dreams is a Playstation 4 exclusive game that will let you create your own video game (and other stuff), share it, and play other people’s creations. If you played LittleBigPlanet, you’ll have an idea of what Dreams is but only know the half of it. The LittleBigPlanet series is great. I love it. Dreams is not out yet, but I can already tell you its bigger and better than LittleBigPlanet. How? I got to play the recent Dreams beta on…
Read MoreTo 8-Bit And Beyond: A Evoland Legendary Edition Preview
Evoland Legendary Edition is actually two games: Evoland and Evoland 2. And within those games, there are a bunch of unique graphical styles, from Gameboy to 8-bit to PS1 and beyond. Both Evoland games will take players on a journey through different rpg styles. Evoland Legendary Edition might sound gimmicky but there is a bit more to it than just changing graphics. Here is my preview of Evoland Legendary Edition for Nintendo Switch. Evoland 1 starts with no sound. You…

Briefly, I had the PS Now service on the Playstation 4. I got to check out Ni No Kuni (PS3) through it and liked it alot. However, I was unsure if I’d like Ni No Kuni 2. No turn-based combat? ugh. Then I saw the game for $20 at Walmart and couldn’t resist it. Now that I’ve played it, I can tell you what I think of it. Spoiler: its awesome! Ni No Kuni 2 is better than the first…
Read MorePricing on Far Cry: New Dawn is Fantastic
Far Cry is easily one of our favourite franchises here at GamesReviews.com, so naturally we are as excited as anyone else about the prospect of playing Far Cry New Dawn in the next few weeks. Much has been made about the game simply being a clone of Far Cry 5, and while you will trek around the same, things look and feel very differently. On top of that, Ubisoft is releasing this as a budget title, so you won't pay the regular 59.99 or 79.99!

“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn. In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu If you’re a horror fan, you know who H.P. Lovecraft was. Even if you’ve never read any of his stuff, you know that he was a master of the horror genre. Many horror writers/artists/etc have taken inspiration from Lovecraft. So it should come as no surprise when horror video games borrow from the writer. Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is inspired…
