E3 will be starting anytime soon, however this weekend’s story is no other than the battle between Patrice Desilets and Ubisoft. According to La Presse – and thanks to the translation of our reader Sid Spyker – Patrice Désilets, creator of Assassin’s Creed, is suing Ubisoft after being fired a few weeks ago. He wants $400,000 and he says Ubisoft has to give him the rights to 1666: Amsterdam (it was only called 1666 before, so now we know the location of the game).

Rumor alert everyone; Beyond Good & Evil 2 may appear in this year’s E3 event. A couple of days ago, Ubisoft posted – via its official FB page – an image with a pig.

When Call of Juarez: Gunslinger was first announced, we were a little bit worried about it. A downloadable-only title that had a cel-shaded look? “What has Techland done to the franchise that was always packed with great visuals?” we wondered. But then Call of Juarez: The Cartel came back to our minds and brought us back to reality, reminding us how awful it actually was. Man, now that was a train wreck. Thankfully though, Ubisoft and Techland took the right decision this time around and surprised us pleasantly. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a really fun game, and looks miles better than The Cartel.
