Assassin’s Creed was unquestionably a big hit. Assassin’s Creed II looks to be an even bigger hit. But one has to wonder: after how many technically-impressive, gracefully-executed stealth kills will Ubisoft’s gameplay model start to get old?

It seems like that, without regular updates on a game’s development, the internet sprouts rumours about that game being cancelled. It’s like the whole internet has paranoid delusions.
The latest subject of this is The Agency, the PS3-exclusive massively multiplayer shooter from SOE. There have, apparently, been rumours around lately that the game is going to [...]

Yeah, they’re pretty vague statements, but Take-Two’s Ben Feder has said to Eurogamer that Agent, Rockstar’s mysterious PS3 exclusive based around espionage in the 1970s, is going to ‘fresh’, ‘worth waiting for’ and a ‘completely different’ is many ways.

‘The Online World is About to Explode’, says the site for the Agency, Sony’s upcoming Massively Multiplayer shooter, along with not much else.
