Okay, so I may have a problem with the assassin’s costume in ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ – but I still think the Revolutionary War setting was a smart move by Ubisoft. This trailer confirms both these views. The game looks gorgeous. I love the idea of racing across snowy boughs, high above the British troops. I [...]
