Review Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege (PS4)
Once more unto the breach dear friends
A teammate is yelling at the hostage to be quiet. Whether they've had a serious mental break causing them to scream at what amounts to a collection of polygons on a screen is up for debate, but what is certain is that you're both in deep trouble. What was believed to be a fortified, secure room is now anything...

News The Rainbow Six: Siege Open Beta Has Breached PS4
Blow the bloody doors off
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is out in under a week, but that fact didn't stop Ubisoft from delaying the game's open beta at the last minute yesterday in order to sort out some matchmaking issues. Fortunately, if you're hankering for some intense teamwork, you'll be happy to know that the open beta should now be live on...

Weirdness Zombi Rises Again for Retail on PS4
Boxed version to emerge on 21st January
Talk about beating the undead horse – Ubisoft has decided to announce a boxed retail version of Zombi, a game that it's pretty much bled dry over the course of three years.

News Rainbow Six: Siege's Season Pass Isn't Very Explosive
No bang for your buck
Okay, so if you didn't already know, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is getting a year's worth of free downloadable content. Maps, new characters, and so on will be released bit by bit over the next 12 months - and that's pretty cool. Ubisoft's tying a season pass into the equation, though, which complicates things ever so...
Tonight's gonna be a good night
Just Dance is the bane of every Ubisoft press conference – from last year's huge group of dancers to this year's out-of-tune and insanely awkward Jason Derulo, it's never been a property that's been taken too seriously. Yet this year's edition has plenty of new features and content – most of which isn't available...

A traditional English Frye up with an extra helping of tower climbing, this open world outing sees you stealing back Victorian London from the grips of moustachioed mad man, Crawford Starrick. While many of...
Review Assassin's Creed Syndicate (PS4)
Ten a penny
Yes, it's better than Assassin's Creed Unity. Ubisoft's romp through revolutionary Paris was a steaming mass of merde, so the publisher had little margin for error with Assassin's Creed Syndicate – the latest instalment in the French firm's flagship open world franchise. But while transposing the property's iconic undercover killing to...
News The Reaction to Ubisoft's New Club Hasn't Been Great
Uplay is being reborn
Hands up if you actually used Ubisoft's Uplay service on a consistent basis. Okay, we obviously can't see your hands, but we're going to assume that there aren't many of them in the air right now - and that's because Uplay always seemed like an afterthought that the French publisher tacked onto its games for, er, reasons that...
News Ubisoft Filmed an Eagle Flying Over London Because Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Eagle eyes
London's one of the most iconic cities in the world, and to prove it, Ubisoft flew an eagle over the English capital and recorded the sights with a 4K camera.

First Impressions How Well Does Assassin's Creed Syndicate Run on PS4?
London's not quite burning
After Assassin's Creed Unity launched in shameful condition on the PlayStation 4 last year, there's been much discussion over how 2015's follow up, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, will run on Sony's home console. After the beating that Unity took, you'd assume that Ubisoft would do its best to ensure that Syndicate performs...
News London Is Full of Evil Cockneys According to Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Story Trailer

News PS4 Freebie Grow Home Is Ubisoft's Fastest Ever PlayStation Download
BUD for you
It won the Vote to Play poll on the PlayStation 4, but there's more good news for Grow Home's botanical bot BUD, as the platformer has become Ubisoft's fastest ever download on PlayStation formats. The game exceeded 1.5 million "sales" within its first week – but this success can of course be attributed to the fact that it was given...
TGS 2015 London's Burning in Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Jack the Ripper DLC

News Journey Composer Revealed as Mind Behind Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Soundtrack
Promising
If you've played Journey, then you'll know that it has an absolutely stellar soundtrack; the music isn't just a background component - it's something that's directly entwined with the experience. Composer Austin Wintory's name was deservedly thrown around a lot after the game's release, so we suppose that it's no surprise a big publisher...
Son of a beech
Grow Home is yet another small indie-esque release from Ubisoft, following closely in the footsteps of Child of Light and Valiant Hearts. It combines unique gameplay, a stunning graphical style, and a cute story about robots and plants in an attempt to recreate the sensation of rock-climbing. But does this plucky platformer climb to...
News London's Looking Lavely In Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Newest Gameplay Trailer

Indeed, you can tell that we're getting closer to the game's...

News Rainbow Six: Siege Dodges a Bullet with PS4 Delay
Will now deploy in December

There's no U in Zombi
ZombiU was an innovative and genuinely scary survival horror title which hit the Wii U at launch – one that made excellent use of Nintendo's second screen GamePad to enhance the terror to all new levels.

News Kendra Wilkinson Says Everything You Need to Know About Rainbow Six: Siege
Urgh
Ubisoft's getting desperate. Seemingly aware of the fact that absolutely no one on Planet Earth gives a hoot about the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege, it's rolled out some celebrities to big up the game – like reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson and her footballer husband Hank Baskett. Unsurprisingly, they both think that the release is the...
Mind boggling
Ubisoft's board game train ain't showing any signs of slowing, with Boggle the latest passenger on the quality time carriage.

Good stuff, guv'nor
Assassin's Creed Syndicate was out in force at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, fighting against austerity for the poor people back in the UK.

News PS4 Doubles the Competition When it Comes to Ubisoft Game Sales
A French favourite
Without an early 2015 blockbuster release, Ubisoft's revenue has taken a hit this year.
