New Details on SimCity 5

By Nick Winter | PC News | Mar 3, 2012 5:05 AM | Comment

Electronic Arts has been suspiciously tight-lipped about this week's rumor that a new Sim City is in development. Sure, it's possible that the publisher is patiently waiting until the Game Developers Conference next week to make its official announcement... but we want details now, damn it! Thankfully, IGN feels the same way, and has gone so far as to translate the German magazine which broke the story in the first place. Read More »

Sleeping Dogs Trailer Reveals Story, Brutal Combat

By Nick Winter | PC News | Mar 3, 2012 4:12 AM | Comment

Sleeping Dogs has had a tough life. Initially developed as True Crime: Hong Kong, the game was dumped by publisher Activision last year for going over budget and failing to meeting deadlines. Since then, the kung-fu inspired sandbox romp has found a new publisher in Square Enix, and it has been re-branded, re-jigged, and (hopefully) improved. The end result is on show in this brand-new trailer... and it looks like a mix between Grand Theft Auto, Yakuza and almost every Hong Kong film released in the last 20 years. Read More »

By Mike Nelson | PC News | Mar 1, 2012 9:40 AM | Comment

A press release just went out revealing the official box art of Assassin's Creed 3 and Ubisoft has confirmed they "will announce all the details of Assassin's Creed III on Monday March 5th at 5pm." And again, going off of the boxart showing a British Redcoat and again, the old American flag, it's safe to say the American Revolutionary War will be the backdrop of AC3. America, f@$k yeah.
