Out of all the great things I’ve experience in my years working within the gaming industry, the best part of the wild ride would have to be the people I’ve met. Each month (ish) I will fire off a bunch of questions to an iconic part of the gaming industry, both professional athletes, and industry folks. I will only give...

Last year I started writing this feature to stray away from the idiosyncratic revolving “awards” that are handed out by each person in our industry. So I’m going to make this a habit and hope it sticks! Welcome to the 2011 version of SPOILED in 200 words or less! ps. SPOILER ALERT! Sully isn’t dead, Nathan rekindles love with...
Ubisoft has signed a deal with Sony to make an Assassin’s Creed movie.
After getting turned down by several other studios, Ubisoft has managed to reach an agreement with Sony to produce an Assassin’s Creed movie. Details about the deal have made it clear why other studios shied away from the idea, as Ubisoft has maintained an unprecedented amount of control over the movie project. Presumably due in part to the mediocrity of...

New Assassin’s Creed Video is a Revelation
I love the Assassin’s Creed series. I swallowed the first game whole, forgiving the games historical inconsistencies and disappointing climax. The scope and intricacies of the second game took my breath away, and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood? I went from a skeptic to a full fledged believer in the potential of this series to throw dome some serious game. So it...

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Drops Crazy Beats at GAMESCOM 2011
If you are sick and tired of those incredibly boring video game trailers that are just spit out of the developers spare time, you’re in luck.

Game Journalists and Writers get targets in Assassin’s Creed Revelations
There are a lot of people that write about games, and I’ve been one for a short while now. However, I never expected people to kill me because I do this, while Ubisoft seems to think differently. At some point in the Assassin’s Creed Revelations multiplayer, you may just come across another player bearing the emblem pictured above; a badge with an...
