Video | Watch: Nine minutes of Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia gameplay
A Volga display of power.
It feels weird to say this, but Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia - third and final instalment in the Chronicles series - is probably the biggest Assassin's Creed game we'll see this year.

Feature | Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Portable perfection
“Peace won't just come to us. We are going to have to meet it halfway.”
For most of Peace Walker's development, and even in early US promotional material, this 2010 PSP title had a grander designation - Metal Gear Solid 5: Peace Walker.

Whatever it was, that number's existence says one thing about Kojima Productions' mindset with Peace Walker. This is no spin-off.

The first thing you'll notice about indie RPG DarkMaus, which came out on Steam last week, is that it's gorgeous. The second thing you'll notice is that it's really bloody tricky. DarkMaus has a huge amount in common with Dark Souls, which is to say I really like and am totally hopeless at it.
