Assassins on the iPad with Assassin’s Creed Recollection

You’ve got to watch out for Ubisoft’s Assassins these days – they get everywhere! The latest victim of the developers premier franchise? The iPad. The world of Assassin’s Creed has been transformed into an in depth tactical board game for the tablet, and is now available in the App store for $2.99.

A tactical board game? How on earth does that work? Well first, check out the trailer at the end of the page – now, understood? If you’re like me then perhaps you’re still none the wiser, so read on.

The game offers a narrative experience up to ten hours long, taking in the entire world of Assassin’s Creed. 20 story missions take players on a journey from Barcelona to Constantinople, and the game can also be taken online to challenge other players from around the world in real time battles. It’s all about having a master strategic plan, and presumably playing your cards right (sorry).

This was something of a surprise release from Ubisoft, so there’s not much information about how the gameplay actually works, but perhaps that’s all part of the mysterious master assassin plan…

If you fancy finding out for yourself then you’re in for an extra treat – the animated short film Assassin’s Creed Embers is included free with the download. The short was also included in some of the numerous special editions of Assassin’s Creed Revelations, so this is yet another chance for fans to catch up on the final chapter of the adventures of Ezio Auditore.

Assassin’s Creed Recollection is available for download here.

The first installment in a planned trilogy of Tintin movies is finally heading to Australian cinemas on the day after Christmas. The Steven Spielberg directed motion capture blockbuster will no doubt bring the adventures of Tintin to a whole new generation of fans – but what about the gamers out there?

Ubisoft have just released The Adventure of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn – The Game. As with most movie tie ins, it’s available on almost every current gen console, and is appearing on the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS. Developed in close collaboration with the film makers, the game follows key moments of the movie (so spoilers for those who want to see the film come December), and has a big emphasis on co-operative gameplay.

 

Players will be able to play as Tintin himself, the ever amusingly named Captain Haddock, the Thompson Twins and more (including Snowy of course). The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are Move and Kinect compatible respectively, so gamers with the latest kit can test out the Secret of the Unicorn with an added level of interaction. To celebrate the games release, Ubisoft have just released a brand new story trailer, so make sure and check it out below.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 became the biggest entertainment launch in history after selling more than 6.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, and remaining top of the video games sales charts in most countries.

In a new episode of BioWare Pulse, the devs from BioWare Edmonton show off some of the new combat mechanics and abilities available to players in Mass Effect 3.

These include the Vanguard’s new ability to sacrifice his shields in order to send a shockwave bursting out from beneath him, the Engineer’s turret ability, an upgrade to Mass Effect 2’s Overload so that it chains across enemies, and the new heavy melee attacks. The video also demonstrates some of the new tactical approaches available to certain classes in unique combat situations. Biotics can pull the blast shields off of Guardians, and players with the Hack ability can turn turrets set up by the enemy Engineers against their creators.

The video also re-hashes the information released a few weeks ago about the Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition.
