Following the fire this week at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris France, Ubisoft have pledged 500,000 Euros to its rebuilding along with giving away Assassin's Creed Unity, a game set in Paris France during the 1700's.
While it had a number of issues at launch, and even after, Assassin's Creed Unity was still a pretty fun co-op title. Getting a group of friends together to plot and execute a stealthy assassination (before it all inevitably turns into a Benny Hill skit) is the best way to enjoy that game. The latest Humble Bundle lets you get in on the assassination action with that and several other AC titles all for the low, low price of $15.
Celebrate the gaming lull that is the month of July by picking up a few titles on the cheap thanks to Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale." The sale kicked off earlier this week and features more than a few co-op titles, like Battleborn, Assassin's Creed: Unity, and Tom Clancy's The Division, at a discount ranging from 20% up to 50% off.
Cyber Monday is here. It's like Black Friday but with a more risque attitude. Amazon of course is participating and there's lots of good games to grab on the cheap. Here are a select few co-op titles we found buried in the bargain bin.
Deal of the Week! Are there any words sweeter than this? Over the years Microsoft have offered some great discounts on co-op games, but perhaps this week is not one of them! However, people that don't already own Far Cry 4 or Assassin's Creed Unity may just be intrigued by the 45% off.
One of the elements of Assassin's Creed Unity that I found so odd was the companion app that came along with it. The "Assassin's Creed Inc" mission system - wherein you recruit and send off fellow assassins on missions - had been entirely relegated to this companion app and completing these missions unlocked chests in the main game to get new equipment or money. Hopefully you didn't spend too much time with that app because all of those chests are now unlocked. For free.
If you're one of those skeptic types who likes to "wait" for games to be "reviewed" before picking them up, then it's likely that you were not privy to the pre-order bonus DLC for Assassin's Creed Unity. Well, as of a few days ago, you can consider yourself on level ground with those who pre-ordered due to the release of the "Secrets of the Revolution" pack.
We're all acutely aware of Assassin's Creed Unity's abysmal launch. Which was your favorite bug? The framerate plummeting to single digits? NPCs falling through the planet? Aw, who am I kidding. It's clearly people's faces melting off, fueling our nightmares for years to come. We knew the French Revolution was rough, but I don't ever recall it being referred to as "a cauldron of supernatural horror." With that said, it is finally time for Ubisoft to make due.
It's time once again to pick your favorite co-op game of the year. We divide our awards into two categories, AAA and Indie. We nominate games that we feel showcase great cooperative features - whether that's a solid story involving all players, innovative mechanics, or just plain fun with friends.
Ubisoft announced today that players will soon be able to download a free DLC campaign, "Dead Kings", for Assassin's Creed Unity. Leave the streets for a little while and make your way underground to discover the secrets of the crypts.
Ubisoft may not be the most self-aware company on the planet, but their actions during the Assassin's Creed Unity debacle earns at least some cred. Following the cataclysmic release of the (much advertised) largest Assassin's Creed game ever, Ubisoft took some very un-Ubisoft measures.
Today's daily deal on Amazon is Assassin's Creed Unity for just $29.99. That's 50% off its normal price. The deals just keep on rolling thanks to an incredibly busy holiday season in the gaming world with plenty of competition for your gaming dollar.
