Ah, that feels good. Stepping into the shoes of Ezio Auditore again was a seamless thing. From the opening sequence, everything felt just like it should.Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood was off to a great start.

Let’s face it, AC Brotherhood has strong roots and a great foundation to build on; the Assassin’s Creed Series has sold millions of copies, garnering high marks from gamers and critics alike. While the first was a little rough around the edges–if you spent the time to find all of those flags I’m impressed, you’re a better gamer than I–the second game was a masterpiece. Everything from combat to movement to plot was improved, making it a must have game for both PS3 and Xbox 360. Continue reading »

Crackdown was a sleeper hit. Bundled with the Halo 3 beta, many gamers assumed that it wouldn’t be very good and passed it by. If you’re one of those gamers, go dig it out and get back to me in a week when you’re finally able to put it down for a few minutes.

The premise of both Crackdown and Crackdown 2 is that you’re a super-powered Agent of (predictably) The Agency. In the second game you’re up against two major forces: The Cell, a terrorist group bent on anarchy, and The Freaks, mutated zombie-like things that are out to convert or kill anything that isn’t like them.

Crackdown 2 has an exclusive invite-only window on the demo for this weekend, so we at 360 Arcadians got a first look at what the new game has in-store. The demo has a 30-minute time limit that we ran down several times in succession. You’ll have to start again after each clock reset, but it’s worth it just to get a look at the world of Crackdown 2.

The Splinter Cell series refined the stealth-action genre and took it to new heights with the sublime Splinter Cell, the perfect Double Agent, and the acclaimed Chaos Theory. Ubisoft has laboured long to bring us the next iteration of the series, allowing us to step into the shoes of Sam Fisher once again–this time in HD!

The Xbox 360 has console exclusivity on their new title Splinter Cell: Conviction putting you in control of super-agent Sam Fisher. Sam’s looking worse for wear; his daughter is dead, his government has abandoned him, and his quest for answers has been dirty, bloody, and nearly fatal. You start the game in a café, getting a phone call you didn’t expect, and leading you on a chase that could change the political structure of the planet. There’s no downtime, no contemplative moments: you’re on the move, both hunter and hunted, in every minute of this game. Continue reading »
