Ubisoft's grudging crawlback to Steam continues with achievements for Watch Dogs 2 added a mere 9 years after release

Ubisoft is currently engaged in what we Brits would call a reverse-ferret: After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store, the publisher has returned to distributing them on Steam. The first game to mark a return to day one releases will be Assassin's Creed Shadows on March 20, even if Ubisoft is still trying to make you sync-up your Steam account to a Ubisoft Connect one. It jus...

The Watch Dogs movie has wrapped up filming more than 10 years after it was first announced, which I'm assuming means it's a guaranteed best picture winner

It turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming. Much like the Minecraft movie and the Borderlands movie, the Watch Dogs movie has been in the works for about a decade now, though unlike the Minecraft movie which finally received a trailer last week, and the Borderlands movie which was released last week (and was so abysmal that it got a digital relea...

Classic Ubisoft open-world game blows up on Steam thanks to big sale

Oh, The Division Heartland, we hardly knew ye. A spin-off from the main multiplayer looter shooter series, Ubisoft has just canceled Heartland to refocus on the upcoming XDefiant and the Rainbow Six series. Nevertheless, an open-world classic from the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry studio is currently surging on Steam, eight years since it was first launched. Witty, satirical, and full of creative o...

A decade later, they’re still trying to make a Watch Dogs movie - but now it has a director, writer and star

Well, allow us both to be reminded of something from over a decade ago, because the Watch Dogs film is still apparently A Thing. It’s more of A Thing now, too, because it has actual names attached rather than just a corporation’s vague “excitement&...

Game Pass added Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft's fun open-world Hackers homage

Ubisoft's campy cybercrime-o-rama Watch Dogs 2 arrived on Game Pass this week, and it's worth a look. I've been playing Watch Dogs 2 lately myself, by coincidence, and I am enjoying its gang of goofballs who want to stick it to The Man by hacking the planet and forcing people to watch their meme videos. Good camp fun with a nice group of friends. Read more

Have You Played… Watch Dogs 2?

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I won’t dignify the underscore that is in the official title. Watch Dogs 2 may not have an iconic cap, but you know what it does have? An iconic mask. (more…)
