Ubisoft has chosen today to announce that they will be releasing a special bundle of Assassin Creed games only on the PlayStation 3. The game will focus solely on Ezio and the three games he has been in so far, making it the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy. The game will hit stores on November 14 and will cost $40.00 to purchase.

The game will feature Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and finally Assassin’s Creed Revelations. The Bonfire of the Vanities and Battle of Forli DLC for Assassin’s Creed 2 will also be included in the package. With the trilogy set to be released two weeks after Assassin’s Creed 3, it seems this is a good way to try and capitalize on those who may have decided to pick up 3 before trying any of the past games before. Though it is certainly strange to make an exclusive bundle for a multiplatform game…

Well, after a tease and a lot of waiting, Treyarch and Activision have finally released the full reveal trailer for the much anticipated zombies mode for Black Ops II. Yes, there are a ton of explosions and zombies running about this war torn battlefield, and as you can see in the clip, it looks like the wait was worth it due to the mass amount of maps and content included this time around.

Indeed there will be nowhere to hide this time around, and you can check out the shiny new trailer down below, and get ready as Call of Duty Black Ops II launches on November 13th.

If you have been dying to play Mass Effect 1 but have a PS3, you are in luck as Bioware have announced an official trilogy for the three titles, which will be out for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on November 8th (AU) and November 6th for the states.

Of course the original three Mass Effect titles are included, which should equal up to over a hundred hours of gameplay in all. Not a bad compilation at all, and even at full retail value, fans are sure to want to snag up this trio on a disk come November. No word on a Wii U release yet, but with Mass Effect 3 launching with the console, I don’t see that news being announced anytime soon.

There is some unfortunate news for those who have been following 7sixty’s surprise localization of Phantom Breaker. A number of people who have pre-ordered the game from Gamestop are reporting that they have received calls from their store saying that the “the vendor has cancelled Phantom Breaker.”

After inquiring at the local Gamestop we were informed that the store was told by corporate that they were to call anyone who pre-ordered the game and deliver them the news. 7sixty has had a number of issues with Phantom Breaker over the past six months, as the game has been delayed multiple times and no current release date has been set for many months after it missed it’s June release date.

We have reached out to 7sixty for comment about these calls, but for now you can check out our preview of the game and hope that this may just be a false alarm.

Joe Danger 2 hits the PSN with 10 hours of additional content

A couple of weeks ago Joe Danger 2: The Movie hit the XBLA and received some rather high scores amongst reviewers, including our own review which gave the title a near perfect score. Well at the time, the game was an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive but it is also coming to the PlayStation 3 with what Hello Games is saying is “10 hours of extra content.”

This is rather significant considering the fact that Hello Games has also stated that they have tweaked the vehicles for use in the PS3 version of the game. No details have been revealed about what will be added into the PS3 version of the game, but it seems that those who may have jumped in early on the XBLA version will find themselves slightly disappointed.

Total War: Rome II Gameplay Video Released

Triarii forward!!!!

Creative Assembly have just released the first gameplay footage for their upcoming strategy behemoth Total War: Rome II the sequel to the widely acclaimed Rome: Total War. In the video we see the Roman faction Scipio besieging the Carthaginian city of… well Carthage. All the standard fare are shown, siege towers, war elephants, archers, principes and a new edition to the franchise ships. In the original Rome: Total War ship battles merely had to be auto-resolved, but in line with Shogun Total War II it appears that both land and ship battles will occur at the same time. The graphics of course look fantastic and look sure to set new standards for the franchise series if not the genre itself.

Be sure to check back in the future for more Total War: Rome II news as we gets closer to its future release date, and of course be sure to check out the video below if you haven’t already.
