After only a few days of waiting, Ubisoft released the reveal trailer for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. We actually knew this was coming, since Ubisoft was basically forced to announce the game’s existence after multiple leaks. Nonetheless, it’s exciting to see the trailer, which you can watch below.

According to IGN, Ubisoft has just confirmed that Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is real. This confirms the rumors that have been swirling around, and it confirms the image that was leaked on Tuesday.
Specifics haven’t been announced, but the official announcement will take place on March 4, when we will likely get a better grasp on the story (and maybe even which consoles, too). Stay tuned for more information on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

According to an article on Kotaku the next game in the Assassin’s Creed series will be titled Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and will deal with pirates.
Kotaku was tipped off by an anonymous source who sent a picture of a poster that shows a white-hooded man fighting a couple of pirates.
Ubisoft already announced that the next Assassin’s Creed game would feature a new character and setting and that it would appear during the next fiscal year.
So is this actually the next Assassin’s Creed game? Who knows. But I’m sure Ubisoft will share more with the world in coming months.

It looks like the states will finally get some of the Kingdom Hearts goodness that’s usually reserved for Japan with the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX for the Playstation 3.
ReMIX contains HD version of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, trophy support, and enhanced cinematic scenes from the Nintendo DS exclusive 358/2 days. Why only the cutscenes? Your guess is as good as mine.
Square Enix hasn’t announced an official release date yet, but expect it come this fall.
Final Fantasy Versus 13 Moved to PS4 with New Name?

For those that may not know, I am a huge Final Fantasy buff. I am willing to say that Final Fantasy VII is without a doubt my all-time favorite game. In my opinion, FF games are the perfect emulation of what an role-playing game (RPG) should be. Imagination, adventure, customization, and an invested story are just some of the things I look forward to with each installment of the series. Unfortunately, words can not describe the utter frustration I feel towards the series and this is a perfect example why:
AC3 DLC: The Tyranny of King Washington Part 1: Infamy

Jesus, that was a mouthful. Anyway, the newest DLC for Assassin’s Creed 3 dropped yesterday. It is part one in a three part “What If” story line, wherein Washington never gives up his power, and becomes the new King of America. It is named Infamy, and the launch trailer makes it look pretty damn interesting.
But are a non-canon story and an intriguing trailer enough to draw your attention throughout all of the to be released packs?

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
With the release of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale this past November, gamers have been asking for one thing: more characters. Well, with a recent announcement of a new DLC, PlayStation gamers are ecstatic to hear that the Battle Royale cast will be expanding. I blogged earlier about the current character list and this game even made my ‘Best of 2012’ blog. Keep reading to learn what is in store.
Will the Wii U ever find its edge?

Ubisoft announced earlier this morning that Rayman Legends, the highly anticipated sequel to Rayman Origins, is no longer a Wii U exclusive and will come to both the Xbox 360 and PS3. In addition, the game’s release date was pushed back to early September, nearly seven months later than the original release date of February 26. While this certainly shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody, it’s definitely bad news for Nintendo and it raises a very important issue: will the Wii U ever gain high-quality, third-party exclusives?

Franchises ripe for Lego games

Game Informer recently announced its latest cover story which reveals TT Games’ new title, Lego Marvel Super Heroes. This came to a surprise for many gamers, since TT Games already developed two DC Universe Lego titles. As a Marvel fan myself, I was ecstatic to hear the news. I haven’t played a Lego game in years, so maybe this title would push me to play the other ones, like Lego The Lord of the Rings. As I began to think of all the games I’ve missed, I wondered what other franchises could be made into Lego games. I came up with some ideas (most ridiculous) that I believe would make perfect transitions into the Lego world. Check them out, and let us know what you would like to see Lego-fied.
