Ah, good old Ubisoft. A company that was well known for its amazing franchises, is now only a shadow of its former self. Back in August, the French company revealed that it will be focusing its efforts on the F2P model for its PC franchises. And although we are against it, we can acknowledge and respect its decision. During an investor conference call, that took place a couple of days ago, Ubisoft further explained its decision to move on to this model and claimed that this model could also benefit full priced triple-A games. Naturally, a lot of people were quick enough to jump on the “oh_my_God_I_hate_you_Ubisoft” bandwagon, but wait a minute… this is something that most companies are doing these days so why should we point our gun at only Ubisoft?

Well, we all knew that the latest Splinter Cell game was not a stealth game. The E3 demo proved what most of us feared. Ubisoft attempted to streamline the experience and introduce a lot of action sequences in order to attract more gamers to it. Naturally, the French company tried to convince everyone that this was still the Splinter Cell game they knew and fell in love with. However, the company revealed at the Eurogamer Expo event that the franchise is no longer centered around its stealth roots.

Ubisoft has also released a new trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero. Splinter Cell: Blacklist is planned for a Spring 2013 release on PC, X360 and PS3. Enjoy! Continue reading Splinter Cell: Blacklist – Fifth Freedom Trailer→
Ubisoft has revealed the official system requirements for its upcoming open-world FPS title, Far Cry 3. The good news here is that Far Cry 3 will support DX11 (for high-end GPUs), as well as DX9 and Windows XP. The bad news is that these system requirements are so generic that do not provide us anything worth writing about. Ubisoft did not even provide us with the Hard-Disk requirements, or the ‘real’ release date for the PC version of its title. Because, let’s face it – this game will most probably get delayed at the last month or so. Pretty much like every Ubisoft game. Continue reading Far Cry 3 – PC System Requirements Revealed→

After announcing the cancellation of I Am Alive’s PC version, Ubisoft decided to reconsider it, and finally release it. The game was released to the PC on September 4th and here is a performance overview for it. As we all know, The Last of Us won’t be coming to PC, meaning that I Am Alive is probably the closest you’ll ever get to it.
