Review: Assassin’s Creed 3 (PS3/360)
After years of Ezio Auditore in the spotlight it’s time for a new assassin to take the reins. Does he have what it takes to replace the smooth talking Italian?

Today Bethesda vaguely unveiled Dishonored’s first add-on, tacking on a meager slew of photos to go with it. Check ‘er out. The add-on’s official page informs us that this DLC will include ten new maps along with ten new challenges, including, of course, new achievements/trophies. Plus, you can expect an official, global, online leaderboard so you can officially wallow in self-pity when you find out how bad you truly are compared to everyone else. Yet, while we have basically no decisive information on what exactly this add-on will entail, we do have a decisive price range and release date: December 11th, $4.99/£3.99 /€4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points) on the 360, PS3, and PC. Yay, thank you Bethesda for all the help. We really, really, really appreciate you informing us, your most valued customers, on how to prep our wallets without even saying what it is exactly that you think we ought to prep them for. Wait – do I sound a little bitter? Oh dear… [toggle_simple title=”Sources” width=”Width of toggle box”]BethblogDishonored

Halo 4 is 343 industries’ first attempt at bringing the Master Chief to life and they do so extremely well. This is hands-down one of the best Halo games of the franchise second only to Halo 2 in my opinion. For the first time in the series we see some major character development of the Master Chief and even more of Cortana.
Ask any fans of classic Looney Tunes to list their favorite theatrical shorts and it’s nearly guaranteed that Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese) will be included in there somewhere. Animation guru/historian Jerry Beck of CartoonBrew.com gave it the #4 slot in his 1994 book, The 50 Greatest Cartoons, and of course it made the cut again in Beck’s 2010 compilation, The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons. And if that still doesn’t convince you and you’re up to the task, try counting how many times Duck Dodgers is mentioned when Jerry asked for feedback in compiling his “100 Greatest” list. In 1980, Warner Bros produced the first of three sequels, Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century (again with Jones directing and Maltese writing). And in 2003, Duck Dodgers deservedly got his own TV series, jointly produced by Warner Bros Animation and Cartoon Network. What many Looney Tunes fans may not know is that there was another sequel

Today, after much hype and weeks of battling Mother Nature on the East Coast, Rockstar released the second trailer for GTA V! Source
At the end of 2011, Ubisoft’s next installment of Rainbow Six came onto our radars with the release of this early concept footage. Both gritty and controversial, Rainbow Six: Patriot enjoyed another month of buzz as it was followed up by a debut trailer. But after this brief bubbling spring of footage, the team went dark. Word was put out in March that a handful of the project’s lead developers had left the project, including the creative director. And since then, we’ve been left to wonder just how well Ubisoft has been handling their attempt to revolutionize the FPS genre. Until now, that is. Polygon recently recieved a few answers from Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot, who confirmed that the project is running and that it “[has] a good team working on it, and it’s really looking good…when it will come, it will surprise the industry.” This leading to the assumption that the game is still pretty far away in the development stages, Polygon aired out the next big question: will it be
Death imparts an irreversible finality that human beings have developed many ways of addressing. Rituals surrounding the end of life have been an inseparable part of human civilization, with traditions spanning centuries around the world. From the embalming practices of the ancient Egyptians, to the modern day interment of the deceased, people have devised many methods of preserving bodies and memories of loved ones and honored fallen. Indeed, memories are typically all that are left behind, while the empty human shell decays over time. But in some instances even that does not happen…
