I have no real excuse to give you guys for why it's been 3, count that, 3 weeks since our last update. All I can say is... sorry! I'll try and make sure that doesn't continue. So what brought me out of the woodworks to talk about this game is multiplayer.

Look, I am a huge Assassin's Creed II fan, I have logged just over 80 hours into that beast. However, the ending was a tad lacking and of course, I wanted much more. Well, Brotherhood not only continue's the story from II, it adds multiplayer. That's right - now I am an assassin... killing other assassins... and it doesn't get any better than this. I am really excited for the possibilities this can bring, and I can't way to run through Rome on the roofs, killing some high end nobles, all while getting the call that my fellow assassin must die, of course to be rewarded with gold and wenches. Hey, who said killing was free anyways?

It would seem more and more than the list from earlier is more of a prophecy than wishful thinking. With Donkey Kong Country Returns, a second entry is happy to welcome in its arms a brand new sequel - MediEvil. According to the latest issue of PS3 Magazine, Sony Cambridge is working on a brand new MediEvil title. No platform has been specified, and no details whatsoever are available, but thousands of fans all over the world, including myself, are burning in anticipation.. [Source: Game Thirst]

Rockstar released an interesting inforgraphic about Red Dead Redemption showing statistics of crime rates, alcohol sipping, murder etc. The data only cover the first two weeks of the game's life but it still contains some interesting finds. Not only does it show that the game defies the rules of time and space (I knew it!) but apparently the game is populated by Hitlers. The grand total of human deaths reaches 15 072 596 proving that gamers are murdering psychos the NPC's in this game are horrible horrible creatures who strangle kittens. Surprisingly enough though, the alcohol intake of the average character is pretty much the same as in the real world, begging the question - what would Freud say to that?

Last but not least, Red Dead Redemption players seem to have a burning, searing hatred towards wolves. The body count of wolves currently sits at 55 813 649 with the closest runner up (deer) being at 28 215 951. This is ultimate, scientific proof that cowboys and bearded men hate Twilight. Just like us. I bet the wolves glittered in the dark, those f&#!$. Head inside for the full infographic.

Apparently, the Kinect tech specs have been leaked and surprisingly enough (read: not at all) they reveal a lot of horrible facts about the product. It would appear that the camera can only track two active players at any given time, setting us back to 1992, possibly even earlier in terms of player count support. Furthermore, it seems that there is a very narrow window in which you can stand in order for the camera to recognize you in the first place, 4 - 11 feet (roughly 1 - 3 meters) to be exact. Having done a very weak presentation to begin with, this information leaves a lot of doubt for the future of Eye Toy 2 Kinect. Head inside for full Kinect technical details. [Source: Kotaku]
