Driver: San Francisco PC Patch 1.02 Is Out Now

Ubisoft has rolled out the second PC patch for Driver: San Francisco. Unfortunatelly though, the company hasn’t provided any release notes with it so we kind of don’t know what exactly this patch fixes or adds. One of the changes is that the menu theme is changed to different tracks and that the default resolution is now the 720p. Continue reading Driver: San Francisco PC Patch 1.02 Is Out Now

I Am Alive is not coming to the PC

Bad news for all those PC gamers that were looking forward to Ubisoft’s post-apocalyptic action/adventure game, I Am Alive. I Am Alive was engineered to create a convincing, post-disaster world in which players are faced with thought-provoking choices and we were quite shocked that the official announcement that was released yesterday didn’t mention the PC platform at all. In short words, the game is not coming to our beloved platform. Continue reading I Am Alive is not coming to the PC

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations PC Delayed

We knew it. We’ve been mentioning in each and every post of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations that the PC version could be delayed, as this is the trend with pretty much every Ubisoft game. So, PC gamers and fans of Ezio – and Altair – will have to wait two more weeks till they get their hands on it. Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Revelations PC Delayed

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Video Q&A Set 2 – Altair and Ezio related… one way or another

Ubisoft has just released a new Q&A video, in which Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’ lead scriptwriter, Darby McDevitt, reveals the relationship between Altair and Ezio. Altair and Ezio are not in the same exact plotline and are not related directly but they come from different bloodlines. Think of it as Ezio coming from Desmond’s father side while Altair coming from Desmond’s mother side. Assassin’s Creed: Revelation is slated for a November release on X360, PS3 and hopefully PC – that is if it doesn’t get delayed at the last minute. Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Video Q&A Set 2 – Altair and Ezio related… one way or another

Call of Juarez: The Cartel PC Performance Analysis

Call of Juarez was one of my most beloved games. Back in the days of DX9, the game featured spectacular visuals and incorporated some unique ideas. Moreover, it was a quality Wild West game, and we didn’t have one since… Outlaws. It basically filled a gap and became even prettier with a DX10 patch that Techland released afterwards. It seems though that the company didn’t realize the reasons behind CoJ’s success. Either that or they became gritty – like most others – and wanted to appeal to a wider audience. The result was a sequel that was inferior to its prequel and a third part that has nothing to do with the series. It could easily be a new IP franchise instead of a Call of Juarez game, but I guess Techland needed the name to trick and sell the game to the fans of the series.
