There'll be multiple ways to tackle objectives in Far Cry 3, as evidenced by the "Alternate" gameplay demonstration Ubisoft's released today

Start preparing your quiff
Here's something that may have passed you by at E3: Ubisoft's Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn game will arrive this year with PlayStation Move support.

News Child of Eden on PS3 Will be "Worth The Wait" says Developer
New features promised
Child of Eden on Kinect is setting the world alight at the moment, but the PlayStation Move version is way off in the distance. Many people have suggested this is due to Microsoft throwing money at developer Q? Entertainment to push the game on Kinect, but that's not the case, says producer James Mielke. The PS3 version's delay...
News Child Of Eden Delayed On PS3 Due To Studio Capacity
Microsoft did not money-hat Child Of Eden
That's the message of Q-Entertainment's James Mielke in the latest 8-4 Play podcast [a really good podcast by the way, give it a shot - Ed]. According to Mielke, the delay is simply down to Q Entertainment's small studio, with the 30-strong team switching their attention to the PS3 version now the XBOX 360...

News Call Of Juarez: The Cartel Invents Co-Opetition, Actually Looks Fun
We've been pretty down on Call Of Juarez: The Cartel since its announcement, but "co-opetition" is the first genuinely exciting thing we've seen of the game
The premise is simple: you'll play in teams working together towards a common goal, but also in competition too. For example, the trailer shows how a goal might challenge each member of the team...
News We Don't Know About You, But We're Totally Up For More Assassin's Creed
We think there was a bit of a collective groan throughout the gaming community when Ubisoft announced it was bringing Assassin's Creed back for a third consecutive year
But its hard to argue with the quality of the games Ubisoft puts out. The narrative stays consistently compelling, and the gameplay gets more and more ambitious with each iteration...
E3 2011 Watch Far Cry 3's 'Insanity' Demo In All Its Glory
It was a pretty bold move by Ubisoft to spend the first few minutes of its Far Cry 3 demo focusing on a monologue by a man completely off his rocker

E3 2011 Assassin's Creed Revelations E3 Trailer Released
Ubisoft's released the E3 trailer for Assassin's Creed: Revelations
As is customary for the series, it's a pretty amazing slice of CGI. We've embedded it above because we're lovely like that. The game's out November 15th.
E3 2011 What's Happening When?
It still doesn't feel like E3 is happening
Not properly. Tomorrow (June 6th) is arguably the biggest day in the PlayStation calendar, with Sony and others preparing to showcase their entire video game lineup for the coming year. Expects twists, turns, surprises and betrayals; it just wouldn't be E3 without them. EA's set to get the party started at...

Rumour Motion Sports Adrenaline Flowing to Move
Ubi gets sporty
Ubisoft released MotionSports on Kinect to almost universal apathy last year, so the rumour that the publisher is preparing a Move-enabled sequel might not fill you with excitement. UK retailer Gamesbasement has listed Motion Sports Adrenaline from Ubisoft, with no information other than an expectd £39.99 price tag. The...
News Let's Dance with Mel B Screenshots Show a Lack of Mel B
Perhaps that explains the delay
You'd think that a licensed game would make a big song and dance about its celebrity endorsement, but the ex-Scary Spice is nowhere to be seen in these screenshots for Ubisoft's Let's Dance with Mel B. Using the PlayStation Eye camera you'll be able to see yourself on-screen at all times, a big improvement over Ubi's...

Lady Gaga, Gloria Gaynor and Culture Club rub shoulders with 50 Cent, Fatboy Slim and Pussycat Dolls, with 28 songs in total included in the...
News Oh Hey Ubisoft, What's Assassin's Creed: Revelations All About?
The best thing about the months prior to E3 is when publishers and developers alike accidentally leak their own information
We'll never forget when Sony uploaded an episode of Qore a few days early, giving everyone the scoop on the PSPgo before it was even announced. While not quite as excessive, it does seem like Ubisoft has just accidentally...

News So, That Modern Day Call Of Juarez Game Is Still Happening
We loved the last Call Of Juarez game, but this new modern day setting isn't hooking us
Clubs, gangsters and cars in a cowboy franchise seem a bit — odd. Granted, we're probably not giving Call Of Juarez: The Cartel the fairest of shakes because we enjoyed the previous title so much. And at the very least this is a unique setting for a...
