After weeks of rumours about cancellations, Ubisoft have today confirmed that Watch Dogs Wii U is still on its way - although it won't be available until well after the other versions are released. In short: it'll be available after everybody who wants Watch Dogs already has had the chance to buy it.

The original Far Cry was a top release back in the day, helped by about a trillion free demo disks and some rather clever design choices. The original Far Cry never actually made it to consoles, instead replaced by a similar but less hardware intensive Far Cry Instincts. That changes this week, with the release of Far Cry Classic on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

uPlay seems to have avoided the majority of the hate that EA’s Origin seems to get, although that doesn’t mean it gets all that much love. It’s still frustrating to load a game in Steam, only to have an entirely new program pop up out of nowhere, requiring new updates and processes. That’s why it’s good news that South Part: The Stick of Truth will be entirely Steamworks. This was confirmed by the official Obsidian Twitter account yesterday. @MacDragon Yep,…

There's been some weird stuff happening with Ubisoft's Watch Dogs. Initially met with extreme excitement, things died down slightly as more videos were released, and then it was delayed weeks before launch. Despite the fact that it seemed the open world hackster (real genre name) was finished, there are new rumours abound that Ubisoft have cancelled their Wii U version of the game.

Assassin's Creed Liberation HD might have been a good idea six months ago. Take a popular, critically successful Vita game and port it to consoles and PC. Why not? There are a lot of people that wanted to see this chunk of the story but weren't willing to by a handheld for it. Sure, six months ago it would have gone down a treat, and would have nicely bridged the gap between Assassin's Creed III and IV. With Black Flag on the market though, Liberation HD feels like a leap of faith gone wrong.

Yearly franchises rarely manage to surprise, but this year Assassin's Creed did just that. The franchise that originally had you climbing up rectangular buildings in the Middle East has now taken to the waves, adding ships, exploration and naval combat aplenty. It wasn't a change that happened over night, but Black Flag shows how far the franchise has come, and, as our view at the top our pirate ship attests, it has come an awfully long way.

You've got your nice shiny next-gen console, you've got a HDTV and your state of the art smartphone for second screen play. There's only one thing missing really, isn't there? Tetris. Because as easy as it would be to joke about the classic game coming to the latest gaming machines, actually, there's not a down side.

Ubisoft's Sylvain Trottier gave a worrying statement recently that might just explain why PC gamers are so often screwed over with poor ports from the big publishers.

Rayman Legends will be making the jump to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in February 2014, Ubisoft have today revealed. The sequel to Rayman Origins and one of the best platform games of the year was previously released on Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Vita.

Due to backlash from gamers, Ubisoft has decided to drop their controversial Uplay service. The most recent outcry about Ubisoft's version of an online pass is over the Edward's Fleet game mode in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. In order to access the feature, gamers had to enter in the code that came with their new copy of the game, or pay a fee. However, because of the inability for some users to be able to play Edward's Fleet, Ubisoft is now offering it for free. Here's more from their official blog post:
