Abstergo Entertainment Employee Handbook Review – It’s All Getting A Bit Meta
As a gamer for a very long time I’ve been especially lucky to see videogames morph from a hobby that the general public viewed as dirty and only for the geeks, into a mainstream phenomenon.

The Art Of Assassin’s Creed: Unity Book Review – The Art Of Stabbing People In The Neck
Reviewing an art book is not an easy task. Provided the pages are of a decent quality and there’s plenty of pretty pictures to look at what more could you really ask for, except perhaps a free copy of the game in question and a cup of tea to go with it? Still, there’s certainly…

Assassin’s Creed: Unity Review – One Small Stab For Mankind
Although I adored Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag there was no denying that the core mechanics of the series were falling apart, the once glorious parkour and stealth systems laboring to remain remotely relevant in a world where such things have been done so much better.
