Ubisoft released a new trailer for Assassin’s Creed III today which provides a brief glimpse at some of Connor’s backstory. The video itself can be seen below and we see how he started out as a rather happy Native American child who had his peaceful life ripped away from him and his eventual rise to becoming the assassin we will play once Assassin’s Creed III comes out on October 30th when the game hits the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Those hoping to play the game on the PC will have to wait longer unfortunately as said version was delayed as one would expect with a Ubisoft PC release.

Dishonored’s interactive trailer is the best thing you’ll see today

We’ve all seen various trailers that show off gameplay segments, focus on developers talking about their game, etc. However Bethesda and Arkane Studios have created a trailer that not only allows the viewer to see an early level of Dishonored in action (prepare for spoilers) but also gives players a chance to choose their approach.

This is handled by selecting an image (with annotations enabled on the video below) and jumping from video to video as the level is played out exactly how you would want it to. This is certainly a creative way to promote a game that allows multiple approaches to the same mission as it not only shows off the game’s various abilities but how varied things can be from game to game.

To Love-Ru Darkness licensed by Sentai Filmworks

It was a bit expected considering the fact that Sentai Filmworks already owns the license to the first two seasons of To Love-Ru’s anime series, but today the company revealed that they will also be licensing the third season of the anime, To Love-Ru Darkness.

It is worth noting that so far Sentai Filmworks has only released the past To Love-Ru series with English subtitles only, though considering the high expectations many fans have for this season, it would be a shame if they continued that trend.

For those who don’t know, To Love-Ru Darkness continues the story of the past seasons, except while Yūki Rito tries to figure out whom he truly loves, Lala’s sister Momo has come up with a “harem plan” which will seemingly make every woman around him happy. However one obstacle is in her way, the assassin called Golden Darkness or Yami. With a mysterious red-head named Mea appearing to cause trouble, can Momo manage to make Rito agree to her plan?
