Ubisoft’s present got unwrapped a little early and we had a look at Unity in our review. Check our this week’s ‘The Sunday Effect’.
This week’s big stories:
Assassin’s Creed Unity Review
So were in an age of gaming we’re it’s beginning to look like the ‘go hard or go home’ mantra is becoming the predominate theme and with Assassin’s Creed Unity from Ubisoft, they definitely pulled out all the stops to not only show what their Anvil graphics engine can do but what these new pieces of gaming hardware can really do. Did they bite off more than they can chew though and is Assassin’s Creed Unity too flawed for its own good? Click here to find out.

It’s not even just one for every PlayStation owner.

Assassin’s Creed: Victory – Leaked
It’s been a tough few weeks for Ubisoft with a lot of negative press around Assassin’s Creed: Unity and it’s glitches. However, much earlier than any of us expected, we have a look at the next Assassin’s Creed game codenamed ‘Victory’. Find out more in our story.
Free App of the week:
Crossy Road
Crossy Road is a retro-styled ‘Cross-em-up’. Think Frogger but up to date. Theres not much more to it than that but it features not a lot of in-app purchases, it’s great fun for those 30 second gaming breaks and has a cast of character’s including (weirdly) PewDiePie’s dog.
Download for free – iOS
