Assassin’s Creed 2: First Impressions

Assassin’s Creed 2 is the new release from Ubisoft, following the story of Desmond as he uncovers his family’s secret legacy.

The Lost ARG has Started

Comic Con has come and gone, so you know what that means. The latest Lost ARG (Alternate Reality Game) has begun. It seems this time around, they’re going with a fictional 80’s television show called “Mysteries of the Universe” that talks about the DHARMA Initiative.
What can we hope to learn from this? Will it feature [...]
