Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Multiplayer Hands-On

Posted by on Aug 02, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Revelations looks ready to refine the series’ first stab at multiplayer with new modes, gameplay tweaks, and avatar customization.   “Revelations” might sound like a meaningless stock subtitle for unnumbered sequels (see also: “Origins,” “Evolution”), but when Ubisoft’s Annecy studio first added multiplayer to stealth action series Assassin’s Creed, it was genuinely revelatory: a tense, cerebral, asymmetric competitive experience that...

A fallen meteor reduces a thriving planet to dust. One bewildered survivor awakens to tell his story.       Dear Diary, It’s the little things you miss most in the postapocalypse.

AusGamers was recently offered to head down to Melbourne to check out Techland’s Dead Island, the remote island zombie-killing FPS that was first introduced with one of the more memorable CG trailers for gaming in recent times, and managed to get hands-on with the game.

We let our imagination get the better of us with Resistance 3’s multiplayer customization system.   If you were a fan of the delightful class-based co-op in Resistance 2, then you were likely a little heartbroken to learn that Insomniac wouldn’t be bringing that mode over to Resistance 3. Well, don’t get too carried away with all that sorrow. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the Resistance 3 beta, it’s that there’s still plenty of room to...

Posted by on Aug 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment

We travel to Blizzard Entertainment HQ to get the lowdown on some of the new features in Diablo III.       If you were a PC gamer back in 1996, then chances are your index finger is still a little cramped from clicking through the original Diablo, an action role-playing game from a little company called Blizzard. Its sequel was every bit as addictive, and now the upcoming third entry in the series aims to bring that same magic to the modern day. Recently, we got the chance...
