Assassin’s Creed Origins: How It Could Save The Franchise
One of the main attractions of the Assassins Creed series is its immeasurable scope, with the tantalising idea that any game could visit any place in any part of history always present. It’s a shame, then, that over nine instalments (not to mention a host of smaller titles for handheld and beyond) the franchise has begun to lose its dedicated fan base due to repetitive gameplay, the bug-riddled experience of Assassins Creed: Unity and much-hated additions like the ‘Den Defence’ mode of Assassins Creed: Revelationshave lead to the series detriment. In fact, the most recent game in the main series, Syndicate, proved unsuccessful commercially speaking, despite undoubtedly being a better game than its predecessor, Unity. What is most encouraging about upcoming addition Assassin’s Creed Origins, then, is not its intensely interesting setting – though that does present opportunities – but its guarantee of innovation for the series.

We're Losing Video Game History Every Day
On October 27th, 1980, a really beautiful thing happened. The United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, also known as UNESCO, released a statement regarding the preservation of film. After more than 80 years, the film industry was finally being given significant historical status. Films were to be treated with far more respect than they had in the past, as they were now considered “an expression of the cultural identity of peoples, and because of their educational, cultural, artistic, scientific and historical value, form an integral part of a nation’s cultural heritage” that “have an increasingly important role to play as a means of communication and mutual understanding among all the peoples of the world.”
