The original Fallout was developed as a sequel to Wa s teland , but - as is often the case these days - changes had to be made when Interplay lost the rights to the franchise name. Regardless, a good post-apocalyptic story can't be ignored, and the series lived on to be re-imagined yet again in 2008. Now Fallout remains one of Bethesda's top franchises, while Wasteland 2 is currently being developed to give an official continuation to the original g

Assassin's Creed has been all over the map lately between the quality of its games and the way the marketing team is choosing to present them to us. Unfortunately for the newest installment to the on-going and seemingly endless series, Ubisoft doesn’t make much of an effort to sell it.

2018 was a great year for gaming, and many defining new titles were released. Among the various critically-acclaimed games of 2018, there were games that featured some tough female characters. In many games released this year, such as Assassins Creed Odyssey and Far Cry 5 , players even had the option to play as either a male or a female character. Here are the five best female characters that featured in video games this y

The 2013 show, co-hosted by Joel McHale ( Community ) was more about the developers and awards, more about new announcements and loving the community. Despite a lot of awkward moments, last year's event was an improvement over years past but this year, Keighley is out. He and Spike (and owner Viacom) gracefully parted ways (apparently) and instead, Geoff Keighley is hosting a brand new, non-network-reliant game show, simply titled The Game Awards 2014 . And he's doing it with the backing of Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and bevvy of top game publish

With the nominations coming before the year's end, we're faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014's titles being included (like Ubisoft's The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year's biggest titles ( Assassin's Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn't make the

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider , Lara Croft finally becomes the tomb raider, and the game marks the height of Lara's skills and resourcefulness. In this game, Lara is no longer the naive and vulnerable young explorer that she was in 2013's Tomb Raider , but the gameplay allows her to use her surroundings to camouflage and perform brutal stealth kills. Lara also masters all her weapons in this game, including the deadly bow and arrow introduced in 2013. Lara Croft is by far the toughest that she has ever been in Shadow of the Tomb Raid

Ubisoft has been through a rough patch since the days of Unity. Syndicate's sales were greatly impacted because of it and playing around with worthless trailers like Identity’s could impact sales just the same. If they were planning on creating a Q&A video about the game that provides impressive and well done gameplay visuals, Ubisoft should started with that right out of the gate or at least have cut a few clips of the gameplay shown in the Q&A and implement them into their announcement trailer, or even better scrapped the trailer all together and focused on creating a proper reveal trailer. Although the creativity and budget were behind their „announcement“ trailer, it was by no means a worthwhile one especially since you really have to go out of your way (and be interested in the game enough) to find their little Q&A video that does a much better job at portraying what the game actually is.

What we can look forward to more great games with notable female characters in 2019. Some of the most highly-anticipated games include Gears 5 that will have Kait Diaz as its protagonist, Wolfstein: Youngblood that features twin sisters killing nazis , and the Indie game, Sea of Solitude , that follows the story of a young girl who becomes a monster. These last few years have definitely been female character's time to shine in gaming, and the trend seems to continue for future releases

Unless Ubisoft was trying to reignite the feeling of rage we all felt while playing Assassin's Creed Shadows Strategy|Https://Creedshadowgame.Com/ Creed Unity with this trailer, it's safe to say that they have sorely missed the mark. The entire trailer doesn’t even provide a worthy description of what the game actually is going to be, which is worrisome for an „announcement“ trailer. The AC franchise has been inconsistent for the last couple of years and this mobile addition just screams stay away. All the viewer is provided with throughout this jaunt down a dark tunnel is that you will be able to change your outfit within the game and continue the AC trademark of jumping off roof tops into hay bails down below.

We have no idea what's going on with the Spike VGX this year or even if there will be one. The annual celebrity-fueled, ad-hungry video games event was consistently chock full of controversy and disdain from the gamer community which is why last year host and producer Geoff Keighley helped re-brand the Spike Video Game Awards into the Spike VGX. It was a ratings success but still begged the question of whether it should contin
