Tiny Brains is first project from former Assassin’s Creed, Dead Space devs

March 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Tiny Brains is the first game coming from a new Montreal-based developer called Spearhead Games, made up of developers from popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Dead Space, and Army of Two.

Developers Simon Darveau (who served as design director on Assassin’s Creed 3), Malik Boukhira, and Atul Mehra are starting their company together with this co-op puzzle game in which four players, in the guise of test animals, escape a lab and defeat the scientists who have captured you.

Platforms for the game are still unannounced, but Spearhead tells us it will be playable this weekend at PAX East. Given the pedigree, we look forward to seeing exactly what these guys have made.

March 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Assassin's Creed III - The Tyranny of King Washington The Betrayal

The Betrayal, the second episode in the three-part Assassin’s Creed III – The Tyranny of King Washington, is available starting today on Xbox 360 and PC. PS3 gamers will need to be a little more patient as episode 2 won’t be available on the PSN Store until tomorrow.

The Tyranny of King Washington is an alternate reality in which Connor (now only known as Ratonhnhaké:ton) is working to kill King Washington, who has gone mad and is ruling America with an iron fist. Episode 2 is titled The Betrayal because Ratonhnhaké:ton will need the help of Benjamin Franklin, who currently works for Washington.

Ratonhnhaké:ton will discover a new ability- the power of the eagle, which empowers him to quickly fly across short distances and hone in on enemies for precise and brutal assassinations. For a closer look at the Eagle Power, take a look at this article.

The final episode of Assassin’s Creed III – The Tyranny of King Washington: The Redemption will release on April 23 for the Xbox 360 and PCs, and April 24 on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Spanish Retailer Leaks Assassin’s Creed: Rising Phoenix Is PS Vita Spin-off

March 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Spanish retailer, XtraLife, temporarily listed Assassin’s Creed: Rising Phoenix as a PlayStation Vita game.

Last week, a logo for Assassin's Creed: Rising Phoenix surfaced online. If the Spanish retailer's listing is any indication, we're looking at the name of a PS Vita spinoff. The listing (which has since been removed) included an October 10 street date, strategically placed three weeks before Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag's release.

Assassin's Creed III Eagle Power

Ubisoft has released a new trailer for the second part of The Tyranny of King Washington, a three-part DLC for Assassin’s Creed III. For those that don’t know, The Tyranny of King Washington is an alternate reality in which George Washington did not step down as Commander in Chief of the US and instead decided to rule as the country’s new king (a mad one at that).

In the first part of the DLC, we saw Connor gain the power to transform into a wolf. In part 2 he will be able to turn into an eagle to fly from location to location as well as attack his enemies from above.

The Tyranny of King Washington Part 2 – The Betrayal will be available for download March 19th on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC for $ 9.99/800 MSP or for free if you purchased a Season Pass.

March 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment

In The Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal, Assassin’s Creed 3‘s Ratonhnhaké:ton can turn into an eagle. This follows his previous invisibility cloak ability. Just saying, super-human feats are what make people stand out in a crowd, not sneak quietly through it with arm-blades.
