Assassin's Creed IV glorifies piracy, Kojima gets 'Taboo'
Hello, boys and girls! Today is Tara Long's birthday so you have to watch our show because it's literally made out of cake. I don't know why I typed that. The big leak of the week is a poster and a screen of Assassin's Creed IV, which takes a nautical spin, and ditches the colonial and Native American trappings in favor of pirates. Because nobody's tired of pirates. Tomb Raider comes out next week, but the reviews are already up. Kojima said in an interview that he's worried Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes might be too edgy, to the point that he's almost concerned it won't see release. Oh, and in "duh" news, The Walking Dead is getting a season two, and maybe a little something before then.

Jordan and I have started a new game in our Couch Campaign, and it's one that I have been excited to play since we first began talking about the project. As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.more View all Destructoid Originals |
