Ubisoft Is Saying Goodbye To Always-On DRM

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Seung Lee

PC gamers will be relieved to hear that Ubisoft is finally dropping its always-on digital rights management. If you remember Diablo III, that game required players to always be connected to the Internet in order to play. Ubisoft’s PC games will no longer be like that. Instead, Stephanie Perotti, Ubisoft’s worldwide director for online games, told Rock, Paper, Shotgun in an interview that all future titles will come with a “one-time online activation when you first install the game, and from then you are free to play the game offline.” It may seem like a strange decision for Ubisoft, especially

Joe Danger is coming out of retirement, and the stuntman will take off on his bike (and skis and ATVs and jetpacks) once again on September 14.

DmC: Devil May Cry Trailer Shows Off Boss Fights

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Joshua Rust

The rebirth of Dante did have me worried at first. Well, all that worry has vanished because DmC: Devil May Cry is looking amazing. This video, from the PAX 2012 gaming conference, shows of Bob Barbas boss fight and the Overturn mission. (It should be noted that you may have to sign in to your Youtube account to verify age). DmC: Devil May Cry will be released on January 15th. Seems like early next year is going to be stacked up as bad as the end of this year. DMC, Tomb Raider, Bioshock: Infinite, etc…etc…etc…

Xbox 360 Retail Releases – Week Of Sept. 4th, 2012

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Joshua Rust

I’m not quite sure of our viewing area, so I’ve only included the games releasing in Europe and the U.S. in this post. If you’re from a different viewing area, sound off in the comments and I will get the information for you as well! We don’t want anyone left out! So, with that said, this is a slow week for the U.S. I guess it’s a “calm before the storm” week. While Europe gets The Testament of Sherlock Holmes which has just received a price cut before it’s launch. Also, an intriguing strategy game called Port Royale 3. Darn
