She's doing science and she's still alive.
Jade Raymond is a name that hasn't been heard much since Assassin's Creed, but the word on the street is that her new project, I Am Alive will be revealed by Ubisoft at E3 and comes from Darkworks, the same studio responsible for Cold Fear. It is scheduled to be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
A first person survival game, I Am Alive is set in Chicago after an Earthquake and isn't a heavy-weapons affair. A rather lengthy video is said to be planned, but it seems unlikely that we'll see anything playable until Leipzig.
My colleague Jonathan Holmes says I Am Alive is the worst title for a videogame ever, but Savant protests, naming Touch DIC as a far inferior name. What do you think, readers? I Am Alive or Touch DIC? Which do you prefer?

Double Whammy!!
The game being set in Chicago might make it an automatic buy for me. I hope it won't suck.
There's heaps of shit game titles, I am Alive, redundant as it is, isn't even close to the worst.
It is redundant, because being able to speak means that you are alive, hence, it is redundant to say it.
All your girlfriends/wife play it with me :]
I am alive, on the other hand, sucks.
Because an Earthquake hit that one assumes killed a lot of people? It really doesn't strike me as hard to grasp the title's meaning.
Seriously though guys, she's french. So there's nothing to see here.
but seriously that name doesn't sound THAT bad i think :-)
But please, don't let me interrupt your witty banter, and incredibly funny jokes! A few more of you pointing out how much assassin's creed sucks should help the thread reach it's highest possible funniness potential.
PS: Don't forget to constantly point out how hot Jade Raymond is. It kind of reminds me of the way Frito Pendejo likes to 'bang chicks.'
Ammirite guys and one-in-ten girls?
Not so, there was a midwestern earthquake this year a few months ago, and it was felt in Chicago. It woke me up that night, and I live on the south side of the city but people in Chicago felt it too. Chicago was miles away from the epicenter of the quake, but there is a major fault line where the Mississippi meets the Ohio river.
As for the game, I'll wait till I see some footage to form a preliminary opinion.
There are worse titles, though. The Pen Is In You, Family: Jewel Thief, etc.
She's not ugly...Besides gentlemen, she might not look good now, but beauty is only a light switch away. For most girls running around out there, darkness is their friend.
She did the same PR tour that everyone does when their game is about to come out, only Ubisoft cynically made sure everyone could se that she was hawt, and all the lonely internet trolls went "ahmagad! Jade! AAAAAHHHHH" *fapfapfapfap*.
Very little of that was really her fault. And it's kind of sad that she'll never be taken seriously, simply because she was too attractive.
@Sir-G
What are you talking about? The article was respectful.
@BuckFitches
I hate to tell you, Joe, but...
@Jonathan Holmes
Yeah, "I Am Alive" is a terrible name, and "Wii" is an awesome name for a console. :P
Hey, I'm not one for lewd sexist comments, but I'm all about
jumping on the bandwagon, so there you have it.
Oh, and the game does indeed sound interesting.
runs off crying...
thank you Sharpless.
"I AM ALIVE!!!!"
*explodes after punching boxes full of explosives*
(Red Drawf joke)
Can I be cool now? I hear that's what all the cool kids are saying...
Honestly, the game wasn't THAT fucking bad at all. If you haven't played any of the many MANY far worse games then you are incredibly lucky.
It just didn't live up to the hype that was created (partially because of bewbs). Lots of games don't but you don't all decry them as an affront to humanity.
Oh and I hope they change the title before release because yes, it isn't very good.
