Assassin’s Creed Rogue

The other November outing for Ubi’s stabtastic series

If the game’s title doesn’t make it entirely obvious how Ubisoft views this game, then its PR might: released on the same day as Unity, and given a fraction of the publicity, Rogue sneaked under many people’s radars as stealthily as the titular character on a mission. It’s been thrown out there – on last-gen, no less – as a sort of nod to those who saw Black Flag as the greatest innovation in Assassin’s Creed since Altaïr hid knives up his sleeves, but it’s clear that Ubisoft is still much more willing to back the safer, iterative style of Unity.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD

The class of 2011 are making their mark four years on

Back when we were at school, classes could barely get through a day without locking an unlucky victim in a supply cupboard or happy-slapping someone. if you'd handed us a variety of arcane weaponry, it probably would have resulted in even bigger swear words being carved into desks. Trust Final Fantasy to turn what amounts to a group of 14 mismatched teenagers into a swashbuckling group of handsome young things who spend their free study periods honing each of their particular brands of superpower before tramping off to combat Nazi-like military evil. As silly as it might sound (and we're not even taking into account that most of them are named after playing cards), there's something fitting about the scholastic setup - Type-0 forces you to relearn just what a Final Fantasy game is.
