    Assassins Creed Shadows review: A return to form, as all doubts are cast away with Shadows

    In terms of gameplay, it takes less than five minutes for you to come to terms with classic Ubisoft game construction, as everything from movement to the environment is inimitably Assassins Creed fare. Few game studios have needed a game to succeed as much as Ubisoft has needed Assassins Creed Shadows. A game that has attracted controversy, unwanted attention, and the cumulative ire of right-wing gamers for attempting to tell the story of Yasuke – the Black Samurai, Shadows was expected to deliver Ubisoft from a string of solid games that failed to make a mark at the box office. Despite much being expected from Shadows, in 2024 (when it was set to launch), it was felt that the latest entry in the iconic Assassins Creed franchise would be review bombed into failing even before its launch. However, come 2025, the game’s launch has been quite successful with over a…

     What was biggest dinosaur that ever lived? 

    Spinosaurus is currently thought to have been the largest carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur, weighing in at 7.4 tonnes and 14 meters long Sydney: Kids of all ages and adults as well are fascinated by dinosaurs that break records for the biggest, the longest, the scariest or the fastest. It’s why, to this day, one of most famous dinosaurs is still Tyranosaurus rex, the tyrant king. These record-breaking dinosaurs are part of the reason why the Jurassic Park movie franchise has been so successful. Just think of the scene where Dr Alan Grant (played by New Zealand actor Sam Neill) is stunned by the giant sauropod dinosaur rearing up to reach the highest leaves in the tree with its long neck.

    What lies ahead for Microsoft’s Xbox?

    Rumors persist of a successor to the Xbox Series X/S and an upcoming handheld Understanding Microsoft’s future strategy for the Xbox is as challenging as solving string theory– just when you think you have figured it out, something new emerges to disrupt everything and undo all progress.

With Sea of Thieves launching at the end of April 2024, and Forza Horizon 5 set to launch on April 25, 2025, nearly a year later; it would be sensible for an industry watcher to claim that Microsoft has been refocusing on offering its best games to the widest playerbase possible.
