South Park: The Stick of Truth - Yes, There Really Were Crying Koalas. OpenPandora. GamesRadar. Assassin's Creed III details possibly leaked by Ubisoft survey, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Xbox 360 News. According to a supposedly-official Ubisoft marketing survey, the next Assassin's Creed - presumably Assassin's Creed III - could contain faster free running, enhanced Eagle Vision, a crafting tool, and several other additions and reinventions, even including a new assassin, time period, and city. If it is legit, it's still just a survey, and not a list of definite changes, but it may give insight into Ubisoft's direction.
Without further lead-up to the obvious Family Feud reference...survey says: Would you like to see ____ in the sequel to the ASSASSIN'S CREED: BROTHERHOOD? That's a lot of italicized ideas, but it all sounds like what we'd expect Ubisoft to be considering for its next Creed game. A change of scenery, for example, has already been hinted at by Geoffroy Sardin, Ubisoft's chief of marketing and sales in Europe. Valve.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney () on Nintendo 3DS. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina vs. Ocarina - Nintendo 3DS Feature at IGN. There's no arguing that Ocarina of Time is one of the most highly revered games in the history of gaming. Given that it is over a decade old, however, there are definitely a few places where this old classic could use a little spit shine. Due to the technical limitations of the N64, Ocarina's once super sharp graphics are now starting to show their age.
Lucky for us, Nintendo's newest handheld, and a long-overdue remake, are set to bring Ocarina into the new millennium in style. But exactly how different is this new version going to be? Does the old stack up against the new? In this first set of images (Ocarina 3DS is on top, the original is on bottom), Link faces off against Ingo at Lon Lon ranch in a race for Epona's safety. Although nearly every aspect has been updated in some way (from the grass and fence to the character models), it looks like this new version will still retain the simple, polygonal look of the original, just with even more detail. Handheld SNES Announced - Gear News at IGN. Third party gaming accessory manufacturer Hyperkin has just announced the upcoming SupaBoy, a handheld console that plays original SNES cartidges.
Due for a release this summer, the SupaBoy will currently only play US cartridges, with a UK PAL release yet to be confirmed. The handheld device is currently only a prototype, but we do know that it will come in at 318g, have a 3.5 inch LCD screen, and a claimed battery life of around five and a half hours. As you can see from the prototype images, the SupaBoy has an A/V stereo output to plug into your TV, and capacity to plug two original SNES controllers to play on the bigger screen with. Excited about the SupaBoy? Which old games are you most excited about dusting off to play? Let us know in the comments below.
