Looking Ahead to 2014: Second Quarter (April – June)

One quarter down so far this year, three to go. Here’s our list of what is peaking our excitement in the next few months.

Gaming Review: Assassin’s Creed IV DLC: Freedom Cry

I’ve never been blown away by the Assassin’s Creed DLC packs for all games in the series (though I never played those for III, which looked way cooler than the rest), and Freedom Cry continues this trend by being far from “need to play,” no matter how promising the protagonist is.

Gaming Review: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

While playing Sid Meier’s Pirates! did you ever wish that you could take a microscope to that world to get a closer look at all the pirating going on? Then Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is the game for you!

If you’re a gamer, there’s no way you made it through yesterday without ogling at the announcement trailer for the next Assassin’s Creed entry at least once. So let’s break it down.
