We caught up with Ubisoft's Hugo Girard, Mission Director on Assassin's Creed Syndicate, to get insights on what we can expect in the upcoming release.
We got to try Just Dance 2016 on the Expo floor at Ubisoft's booth. The game is sensibly the same but with an updated song list and improved performances on the WiiU and Xbox One. Here's what we thought of this tried and true beat game formula.
This week on the podcast we tackle hot news: Michael's Fassbender's first photo as Callum Lynch for the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie, Nintendo announced that the smaller New 3DS is coming to North America, Xbox is launching a premium bundles and we take a look at those awkward pre-order tiers for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
It’s always advisable to approach video game rereleases and refurbishes with some trepidation. Games that were great a decade ago don’t necessarily transcend time and space in the gaming world. Video game trends flux and flow; titles and genres can succumb to the passage of time.

Yes, this brings up a conundrum.
In this very special podcast, we take a few minutes to announce our next HUGE step into gaming fandom and we special guest movie reviewer and gamer extraordinaire Craig Koban with us to talk about video game movies, his work and life.
