AC 3 It should be Independence Day in the US so Ubisoft took the opportunity to advertise by releasing a very short live action trailer of Assassin's Creed 3.

Assassin's Creed 3 is set for an October 30 , 2012 release for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 with the PC version coming out a month later.

 

Seth Killian joins Sony Santa Monica Studio

Former Capcom man Seth Killian, former Capcom Community Manager, co-founder of the EVO fighting game tournament, and pretty much the big promoter for all of Capcom's fighting games has found a new home at Sony Santa Monica. After being with Capcom for 6 years, he has decided to move on and pursue a new dream. The fighting guru made a post on the official Playstation Blog revealing where he is now. 

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

Seth is now working with the team currently developing Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale which fits for him and is excited for the Smash Bros- like fighting game.

Fighting games are very close to my heart, and as someone that’s spent much of my life with traditional fighters, All-Stars has been a great opportunity to take a step back and rethink fighting fundamentals from the ground up. The entire team was put together from scratch to create this game, and they are loaded with fighting game superstars (including some impressive tournament credentials–I’m not even the first EVO finalist to join the team!) who love great combat just as much as I do.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale has instantly become a game to look out for with Seth Killian now on board. If there's one guy I want to in a fighting game project, it's this guy.

Aliens: Colonial Marines gets a Cinematic Trailer

Aliens: Colonial Marines Gearbox Software just release a new Cinematic Trailer that got me all excited for Aliens: Colonial Marines. Its short, but enough to give us an idea on what we'll be getting when the game comes out next year.

I really want this game to be good. It looks good, but it needs to bring the feeling of walking through a narrow corridor, freaked out and relying solely on your tracker. That's what I want to feel in the first minutes into the game. Gearbox Software created Borderlands so I have hope that this game will bring justice to the Aliens franchise. It was pushed way back to 2013 for more polishing, so they have no excuse if it comes out bad.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a long way from release, it will hit shelves on February 12, 2013 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
