Ubisoft Montreal brings the full sequel to its hugely popular action adventure, Assassin's Creed. Despite the game's enormous success, there were a lot of issues that needed to be ironed out in the next installment. The developers were prepared to listed to both critics and the fan base, making some fundamental changes to key aspects of gameplay.

We finally took the opportunity to find out if their hard work paid off.

Here's a snip:

The town citizens will also be fully aware of your actions thanks to town criers and posters. At this point, it would be wise to, shall we say, clear your name either by going about and tearing down posters or bribing officials and town criers - and making sure the guards don't catch you at it. If you want another approach, Ezio can distract guards by throwing money in the street, by hiring mercs, thieves or hookers and then instruct them to lure soldiers away from their posts - sweet.

Capcom announced a while back that their upcoming sci-fi action game Dark Void will hit retailers around in the world for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January next year. Now the company confirms it has signed a deal for a feature film based on the video game franchise. It seems the film rights went to Brad Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment.

"As a game, Dark Void was developed with a wide-screen mentality - a world full of adventure presented in cinematic scope and scale," said Germaine Gioia, senior vice president, licensing, Capcom Entertainment. "Plan B recognized the potential of our newest property and are as excited about bringing Dark Void to life in cinemas as Capcom is to bring the interactive experience to home theaters."

Amazing. Out of all the video game licenses, why on Earth would the pick this one?

Please, don't answer that.

Before you get excited, this is not a full expansion pack nor is it a sequel. BioWare just announced the first DLC for their recently released RPG, Dragon Age: Origins. You'll be able to return for the arms and armor of King Cailan.

The DLC is due out this holiday season. Check out the first screens.

“We are very proud of the phenomenal launch of Dragon Age: Origins and we’re pleased to announce the next installment of downloadable content that will be available to fans of the game,” said Ray Muzyka, Group General Manager, RPG/MMO Group of EA, and Co-Founder, BioWare. “The Return to Ostagar DLC pack is a prime example of BioWare’s commitment to give fans a game that continuously offers new experiences and further enriches a storyline that has already received critical acclaim and positive feedback from the players.”

The Return to Ostagar DLC has players going on a new quest in which they return to the battleground in Ostagar. "Players will discover King Cailan’s top-secret political agenda and go behind enemy lines to revisit a place that many feared had been lost to history." And another thing; you'll "get a second chance to add Dog to your party." (Okay, that made me LOL a bit.)

DA: Return to Ostagar will be available for $4.99 on the PlayStation Store, for 400 BioWare Points on the PC and 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 in North America.

Just for once, I'd like to see Blizzard say: "Fuck it, let's make a full-length CG movie - no live action Hollywood bullshit." That's a movie I'd pay huge for, especially if I could view it on the big screen.
