I am absolutely in love with this fucking game. Did I just type that out loud? Oh well.

Ubisoft has released a new seven minute video walkthrough and several new in-game screens available after the jump. If you enjoy them as much as I did you may need to take a short nap afterwords. Read more…

Announced at Nintendo’s lackluster E3 conference and remembered as that game that was somehow related to the internet’s most famous soccer mom breaking her wrist, Shaun White Snowboarding is a snowboarding game sponsored by pro boarder Shaun White. It utilizes the Wii Fit’s gyration/motion-sensing technology to make you feel like you’re actually jumping up and down on a $90 box thing jumping off of the Alps on a snowboard. Well, in the Wii version, that is.

Not being one to show the least visually-appealing version, today Ubisoft released the first trailer and screenshots for the Playstation 3/Xbox 360 versions of the game, which you can see in the gallery after the jump. Read more…

Want to get your hands on Sam Fisher? Yea, you and a whole lotta terrorists. You’re all going to have to wait a bit longer, as Fisher has disappeared into the shadows of delay.

Ubisoft has pushed Splinter Cell: Conviction back to fiscal year 2009-2010, so don’t expect the spy any time this year. But then again, he could… be… RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Ok, maybe not. But if he were, you’d already be dead.

Kotaku is also reporting via a string of internet sources that the voice of Sam Fisher, Michael Ironside, has been terminated. No, not like that. His body is not in a dumpster in a seedy alley behind the Ubisoft offices.

No, the word on the street (see: internet) is that Ironside got a little too big for his britches and has been removed for being difficult, self-centered and demanding. In otherwords, an actor. ZING!

In all seriousness, we CANNOT confirm if he has actually been removed from the project, but it might explain part of the delay.

Still, at this point all we have are precious few facts: The game has been delayed to 2009-2010. Everything else is as shadowy as Fisher himself.

You may recall that my laptop has “shit the bed” or whatever Chad said the other night. In fact, at this point I think it has murdered the bed. So we don’t have a live blog, but we do have the highlights! What does Ubisoft think about girl gamers? Who was the celebrity guest? What’s the new mystery IP? The jump tells all. Read more…

Prince of Persia “Next-Gen” debuted with a splash in the CG pond, failing to excite those who had already spied beautiful screenshots of the game’s cell-shaded art style.  Now we can experience the first in-game footage of Ubisoft’s new Prince of Persia, backed by the beautiful sounds of Sigur Ros.

I know you’re as enthralled as I am to hear that Ubisoft has announced that everyone’s favorite jerk chef, Gordon Ramsay, will be starring in his own videogame, based on the syndicated show Hell’s Kitchen, due to hit the Nintendo Wii and DS in September.

The game is based on a 5-star system and involves players ranking up by creating dishes for established guests. Doing well will unlock more dishes and restaurants until the fortunate player gets the privilege of virtually assembling some of Chef Ramsay’s signature plates. Read more…

For those who missed it, EGM (according to Editor Dan Hsu) was supposedly cut off from receiving preview and review copies of games by Sony, Midway, and Ubisoft due to what the publishers felt where unfavorable review scores and or practices.

While I can understand why Dan may have felt the need to call out the poor sportsmanship of Sony’s Sports Division, the low blow of Midway’s Mortal Kombat Team, and the stealthy exit of Ubisoft, I question his decision to do so, and can’t help but feel that an unnecessary trend is beginning to take place.
