Assassin's Creed Revalations


The Assassin's Creed series has become a must have series to own for your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, and is on the fast track of production. Over the last three years they have released three new installments to the series, and this year is no different.

Announced over Facebook on their fan page that they were making a new game on April 29,2011, and GameInformer lost no time in devoting the cover of their May issue to Assassin's Creed Revelations.

They have already learned a lot about the new game.
1. they now know that the game will not center around one past life of Desmond (descendant of the previous characters) but both previous characters, Ezio and Altair.
2. there are new gadgets in this game. Ezio, now 50, will have a hook on his hidden blade that will allow him to zip-line along wires in between buildings, giving the player new movement options.
3. He will also be able to make bombs which were being invented in the last game.

Not much is known about what role Altair, the first character in the Assassin's Creed series, will play in the game, but it is known that he has something that Ezio wants.

Assassin's Creed Revelations is expected to hit stores Fall 2011

Infamous 2




Empire Cities electricity flinging "terrorist" returns in the sequel to the hit game Infamous. Infamous 2, will have a new city, new powers, and many other changes Cole Macgrath will become an even more amazing character to play.


New Marais, based after New Orleans, is the location of the next installment of the Infamous series. Filled with gaudy neon lights, jazz music and a swampy exterior the game has a large space to fill with its intriguing story line. Another aesthetic change is that SuckerPunch productions completely redesigned Cole to make him look more like he did in the original game.

At the end of Infamous Cole found out that a Beast was going to destroy the world and he is the only one who can stop it. He will have to make tough decisions: kill the beast or save the world.

New forms of combat are available in this game along with his standard lightning abilities such as shooting lightning bolts, shock grenades, electromagnetic shield, hovering, and electric fists, Cole gets a giant tuning fork for a weapon (shown right).

He also gets another sidekick, besides his best friend Zeke, depending on if you decide to become good or evil. If you choose good you get a partner who can use ice powers, and evil gives you fire powers. Throughout the game Cole will have to make decisions that effect his moral standings an example from the last game was that he could help these people and then hope for a reward (good), or he could steal the reward (evil).

Infamous 2 will be released June 7, 2011
