Split Screen... Is it coming back?

Hard to believe that this was the best of the best!
The first enjoyable game I played that involved multiplayer splitscreen on one television was "007 Goldeneye" on the Nintendo 64. Since the release of Goldeneye, there have been a large number of first person shooters, third person shooters, stealth, and racing games that have included the ability to play with more than one person on screen. The ideal situation, in my opinion, is to utilize LAN, or other network connections, so that you can have your own screen or monitor; but there is something about split screen that increases the level of competition, and trash talking, with your friends that just doesn't make sens.

"That's 'Service Games', Sonny...": A Brief History of Companies and Their Names: Part 2

How are these men related? They're the founders of Sony, and a MS Engineer.
It gets better, just read the article.
First off, I'd like to apologize for the long delays in the release of this article. Technical and physical difficulties kept it from being released on time, however I have enjoyed writing, and rewriting this article, and I hope that you too will enjoy these brief segments on video game companies, their names and their histories. Without further delay, I present part 2 of "That's 'Service Games', Sonny...": A Brief History of Companies and Their Names. 

Assassin's Creed to take place during the American Revolution


An image of the box art for Assassin's Creed 3 was released by Ubisoft. After the images leaked, Ubisoft decided that they should officially release the box art above! Lucky for us, it's incredible. We see an assassin with a tomahawk, bow and arrows, and pistol. It looks as if the game will be taking place during the American Revolution! Many people were guessing that AC3 would take place in Japan, or Egypt, or even Paris. Not to brag, but my friend Nick and I totally predicted this one! If you haven't played the DLC for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - The Da Vinci Disappearance, you should. All I will say is that it's slightly indicated at the very end of it... By numbers...

Until next time, keep on gamin' on!
