Would Ubisoft have even had the balls to make this game about anything solid? This kind of game would be fantastic but this company doesn't have a fraction of the spine needed to make a story actually about anything

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Xbox Has No Idea What They're Doing, and I'm Not Sure They Ever Did

If the makers of a GOTY competitor that outdid sales and Game Pass expectations and owned by the richest company in the world cannot stay open - what hope is there for everyone else?

the $360 game pass now costs per year is an epic reference to the xbox 360

have they considered that 90+% of gamers are spending less than $360 a year on buying games? Just buy the games people

Unbelievably giddy at how good Sonic Racing Crossworlds is. I have been smiling so much my face hurts. In addition to being this amazing love letter to this franchise and its fans, it is so much more fun to play than Mario kart world I feel ashamed on behalf of Nintendo. This is the real deal

In the newest episode of Video Game Movie Hell, somehow a movie with "bikini" and "samurai" in the name managed to be the most booooring shit ever. Sad! Watch along with us and squint at these girls as you try to figure out if they're old enough to be in this movie

HOW did they make a movie with this name this boring? | Bikini Samurai Squad Movie Reaction

Buying Sonic racing on disc prompted this convo with my gf:

"actually there is a store, it's a steam competitor on PC called GOG Galaxy and they just let you download an EXE file and will never be able to take it away from you"

"Well then why do you keep buying games from steam"

"I don't know"
