Assassin’s Creed III is now available in Datablitz. Pricing follows
This is it — the conclusion to 5 years of work culminates and ends here.

New iPads are out including iPad mini. Whatever.
No, sorry I didn’t really mean that. It’s nice and all but a 4th generation iPad and a smaller version of the iPad don’t stir the loins like they used to. You know what’s nice though? The Kindle Paperwhite. On the new iMac front, yeah it’s thinner and all. But you know what would make…
