Breaking Down the Assassin’s Creed Reveal


Update: A few minutes ago Ubisoft unveiled the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Revelations, along with details. How accurate was I? Take a look here!

Authors Note: After I started to write this, two new video reveals have been presented so they will be broken down and analyzed below as well. As future video reveals are released I will continue to update this article.

For a few days the Internet has been buzzing about revealing the next Assassin’s Creed game. On the Facebook Fan Page for the game fans are asked to Tweet and spread the word to their friends, and the more people who “like” the page and tell their friends, the more we will see of the reveal. Right now the Activity Monitor says it’s at 74%, but from what I’ve been able to see I’ve managed to uncover many clues about what Ubisoft has to offer next.

Twisted Metal, Sweet Tooth and… Rape?!


Earlier today the latest trailer for Twisted Metal hit GameTrailers.com and it has been receiving some varying reviews. Most of the fans are digging it, really enjoying how dark it is and are super psyched for when the game releases.

Customer Service: Why It’s So Important


During this holiday season, stores and companies will have to deal with many exchanges, many returns, and many disgruntled consumers. When a company creates a product, there will always be problems or issues, and that is why customer service exists. I’ve had my fair share of horrible experiences over the years, but I’ve also had some positive ones that are worth noting.

Sadly the bad outweigh the good, and it makes me wonder why providing a positive experience is so difficult for some.

Review: Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle (PC)


I have been playing action games lately; big guns, screaming monsters, gory zombies, suspenseful cliffhanger endings leaving you yearning for YEARS just to get your hands on that THIRD EPISODE….. you know, the usual lot.  Action games are great at what they do, but many don’t really make you think.  When I saw a chance to review something a bit quieter and scratch my brain a smidgen, I welcomed the change of pace.

Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle (what a mouthful!), is a simple puzzle game set in the “Quintessentially Quaint” English village of Little Riddle.  Shortly after you arrive on vacation to Little Riddle, dirty deeds begin to take place!  Burglary!  Arson!!  And even……. .MURDER!!! As a member of the famous Blue Toad detectives, you get right to work.  Ponder puzzles!  Resolve Riddles!  Elucidate Enigmas!  Solve the mysteries of Little Riddle! Read the full story

Beware of My Custom Xbox


Months ago I saw a friend of mine on Facebook ‘Like’ this page for My Custom Xbox (also known as My Custom Controller). When I went and took a look of the page, out of curiosity, I saw that it was a company that made custom Xbox 360 controllers. Since I’m obviously into that sort of stuff, and my friend was doing some stuff with them at that time, I clicked ‘Like’ as well to support her. Looking back on the fan page today, the company is having some serious problems, and gamers everywhere need to be aware of what’s going on.
