So why in the world would someone want to purchase the PC version of Assassin's Creed III as opposed to the console version? Let's find out.

Some days it just doesn't pay to be in the middle of a fight. Other days, it's fun as hell.

Four guys vs. entire armies?  Sounds like fair odds to me!  From Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Romania, and Ubisoft Red Storm comes a re-re-envisioning of the now classic "open terrain" squad based TPS series that puts the next wave of military tech in your hands.  And with rock solid mechanics, many multiplayer choices, and stunning presentation, this sorta-new direction lends itself to a very diverse and enjoyable experience.

Dungeon Hunter Alliance is a straight-forward dungeon crawler that was first made popular on the iOS. How does it fare on the Vita?

Rayman Origins proves that 2D platforming is far from dead and does so in spectacular fashion.

The Vita has a pair third party of racing titles available at launch -- F1 2011 for the sim crowd, and Asphalt Injection for arcade racers. I've been playing Asphalt, and while it offers a good amount of depth and fun, it's iOS/smartphone roots are obvious. About the only thing that didn't carry over is the low price.

I have yet to play every Vita game, but easily the most addictive one yet has been Lumines: Electronic Symphony.

Like rhythm music games and Michael Jackson? Got a Vita? Ubisoft might have something for you here.

Who knew collecting evidence was as easy as: taking pictures?  From Ubisoft and Ubisoft Shanghai comes a point-and-click adventure based on the hit CBS investigative drama.  And although this title features surprisingly consistent presentation and decent voice acting, the underwhelming simplicity and short journey will make this an "open and shut" endeavor for most gamers.

The only way this game will get your adrenaline flowing is in frustration and bitter disappointment.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell took the gaming world by storm several years ago, and has gone on to have many successful sequels. Ubisoft's Classic Trilogy HD includes the first three Splinter Cell adventures, although with some caveats.

The 3DS has its first brain game with the awkwardly titled Puzzler Mind Gym 3D, from Ubisoft. With hundreds of puzzles in twenty different categories, across four main disciplines, Puzzler Mind Gym 3D (PMG3D) sounds great on paper, but its structure, lackluster presentation, and game modes may leave you scratching your head after the first few hours.

We're in hot pursuit of: super-natural abilities, crazy car stunts, and loads of fun!  From Ubisoft and Ubisoft Reflections comes the latest incarnation from the storied franchise of being "the wheelman" with a "crazier, the better" mentality.  And although the online is too insane to be considered serious, the expansive modes and killer single player make this a welcome retreat from the Gran Turismos and Forzas of the driving game world (if just for a little while, anyway).

Techland and Ubisoft are back with the third installment of the Call of Juarez series. Call of Juarez: The Cartel (CoJ:TC), marks some major changes for the series, simultaneously adding interesting new gameplay ideas but also executing them in very poor fashion. Ultimately, the result is a mess of a game that could have benefited from several more months of development. Still, The Cartel is not a total loss, but it's an experience that is very rough around the edges and does the franchise a great disservice.
