Last night we were lucky enough to get an invite to the Melbourne leg of the Xbox Insider Tour at Billboards. Even though a full write-up of the event will be live on the site in the next few days, let’s just say that we got a quick look at games like Avatar, Assassins Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Avatar is a movie that I’ve been keeping an eye on for a number of reasons. For most the name James Cameron would be reason enough to raise an eyebrow of interest, but for me, as ever - I’m looking for a strong story line - something new & unique & from what little glimpses are available of the film, it looks like it may deliver for whilst the plot looks obvious, at least it will be enjoyable.

Admittedly though, it wasn’t until I saw the official Ubisoft game trailer (see below) that I actually started to get excited about the film for when you compare the two you can see exact scenes taken from the film & transposed into the game itself. So before you take a look at the game trailer below, I suggest you visit the official Avatar movie site here to first view the film trailer.

More than this though, one word will sum up why I’m now looking forward to getting my hands on this game & that is, “Mechs!” I’ve been complaining for a long time that there haven’t been any decent mech games for a while & especially after playing Red Faction, I’ve wanted more - well now I’ve got it! …read more

I still haven’t finished the original Assassins Creed. I just got so bored with doing the same thing over and over again. This now means that I will be extremely cautious when loading up Assassins Creed 2 for the first time. But, I can rest a bit easier now after reading what developer Ubisoft is doing to stop the monotony of the first game, ruining the second one.

“So where is the game taking place? …read more
