It’s hard not to be charmed by Ubisoft’s shrieking lagomorphic malcontents. Though I’ve enjoyed both of their games thus far on the Wii, it’s really the characters themselves that keep my interest — honestly, if Ubisoft just wanted to keep releasing videos of their antics on a regular basis, I’d be happy enough. Of course, [...]

There is a certain fascination with World War II-based video games over the last several years: among Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and their ilk, the sheer volume of like games is beginning to make any such title have to provide something wholly original to really make it stand out. Gearbox’s and Ubisoft’s Brothers [...]
