As most of you know, I am a huge gamer. One of my favorite gaming publishers is Ubisoft. Their games are always entertaining. Recently, they released four new games that I think are must have games for any gamer!
Grow Up
This new adventure comes from a small team at Reflections, who experimented with procedural animation and ended up creating a cute creature named BUD. Working with new best friend POD, an adorable flying robot who likes planets perhaps a little too much, BUD must use his veritable tool belt of abilities to traverse the planet. Using BUD’s shiny new Floradex, players can put their own stamp on the world by cloning any of the 24 weird and wonderful plant types to catapult, shoot or float through the lush landscape filled with surprise discoveries. Purchase here.
RISK® Urban Assault
Hasbro Family games are back! The RISK® Urban Assault console game is an exciting new version of the RISK brand set across five iconic cities from around the globe, such as New York, London and Paris. Players will wage war in the campaign mode, where they will need to choose among five different factions, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Players will also choose commanders to employ with unique abilities and new strategies to use such as diplomacy or using city funds. Purchase here.
Battleship®
Battleship® console game players will deploy their fleet and strategic skills on a modern, dynamic and interactive 3D board to destroy the enemy before their own ships are sunk. The new Clash at Sea! mode will bring new exciting features to the classic gameplay players know and love. In this mode, players strategize to win by managing their resources and using their fleet’s special abilities to win the game. For players who crave competition and challenges, they will have the ability to play with their friends locally or online in a unique player-versus-player experience as well as track their progress on the global leaderboard. Purchase here.
Just Sing
Following in the footsteps of the successful music titles Just Dance® and Rocksmith®, Just Sing looks to captivate players and wow audiences as they sing or lip sync their way to living room and online fame through an epic track list that includes songs from Justin Bieber, Meghan Trainor, Sia, One Direction and Queen. And if singing out loud really is your Kryptonite, you can lip sync as well, so when you ask me, What Do You Mean? It means I Want You Back over here with your iOS or Android* smartphone turned into a mic and a camera thanks to the free Just Sing Companion App where we can Let It Go to create memorable videos. So Relax, Take It Easy, because No One will hear you sing so poorly that I Can’t Feel My Face when you’re done – fortunately, I Will Survive. Purchase here.
