Champions Of Anteria: Review
At its core, Champions Of Anteria is a mix of the RPG and RTS genre. It was initially slated to be the next Settlers game called The Settlers: Kingdoms Of Anteria. However, the game that finally emerged is vastly different from the franchise it takes its roots from. The game follows the actions of five Champions who are returning to their homeland called Anteria. After their time away, they find out that Anteria is being ravaged by several warring factions who are affecting the livelihood of the common people in a bad way. With the help of the people from Anteria and a wise wizard, the Champions work to compete with other factions, reclaim Anteria back, and make it into a great and peaceful village for everyone, as it once was. This story is told to players via narration by one of the main...

Why The Hate For The Division?
It’s been some time since The Division released and I have seen many hate posts on social media, groups etc. regarding the game. All these posts made me wonder, what was wrong with the game because of which it is getting this kind of hate. Is it the typical Ubisoft game hate? Or something else. This made me do some research, so that I can find the major reasons behind all this. The most common hate reasons are: The game was downgraded and the optimization is not good on PC. This is somewhat understandable since I’ve faced this even on my Titan X, which is not able to play the game on constant 60 fps on Ultra (I’m playing on high-ultra with 40+ FPS). Other than that there many other complaints such as the downgrade, since the game looked much better in E3 trailers. Which does no...
Could Uncharted 4 Be In Deeper Trouble Due To The Assassin’s Creed Artwork?
In a somewhat awkward fumble by Naughty Dog, the latest story trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End had featured artwork from an Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag art book. While Ubisoft was quick to point it out, and Naughty Dog fixed that error promptly and rather gracefully, it did bring to mind the question whether the art work was used only in the painting set on the mantle or elsewhere in the game. To put it bluntly, was it used as a location in the game itself? If you watch the video carefully, you’ll notice that the locale shown right after the painting appears carries an uncanny resemblance. You can see the image below: If this does turn out to be the case, then Naughty Dog is surely scrambling to re-make this section of the game. Not only does any resemblance to ...
Far Cry Primal: Prehistoric Console & Controllers Crafted From Stone
Today, Ubisoft Entertainment has released a range of stunning photos of a hand-crafted Sony PlayStation®4 and DUAL SHOCK ®4 controllers, to mark the upcoming launch of Far Cry Primal on February 23rd, 2016.

Watch Dogs 2 Confirmed, Will Release Early 2017
We had earlier reported on speculations that Watch Dogs 2 was indeed in development, and will be releasing sometime in the course of the next two years. it had remained an unconfirmed rumor until today, when Ubisoft confirmed in its third quarter sales announcement that Watch Dogs 2, and a few other games of note, will be out sometime during its 2016-17 fiscal year. The report throws around some big numbers, as they are wont to do: Ubisoft expects big sales this year—€1.36 billion/$1.54 billion—and even more next year—€1.7 billion ($1.93 billion)—thanks to what Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot calls a “portfolio of powerful franchises.” More money is good news for Ubi, but the interesting part from a non-business perspective is found a bit lower down the announcement. There are no sp...
