Many people scoffed at the idea of a new Assassin's Creed game only one year after last year's great sequel. However Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is looking more like a true blockbuster game with every new piece of information. The most interesting aspect of the new game so far has been the unique multiplayer that features players attempting to blend into the crowd and assassinate other plays discretely. However for people not wooed by the intriguing multiplayer options Ubisoft has released a video showing off some of the cool new features in the single player campaign. The video shows off several new ways to assassinate enemies as well as some of the unique features created by the game's new focus on recruiting and training other assassins.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is being released on November 16 and is looking to be a true game of the year contender.

Not fit to just sit on their laurels Valve has been adding all kinds of features to Portal 2 that will drastically change the puzzles and really make you think. The one we are looking at today is the Repulsion Gel. This is a liquid matter that when jumped on will essentially bounce you the other way. A kind of liquid trampoline if you will. A couple ways to use it are shown in the video below but I'm sure Valve is keeping all kinds of tricks for the full game when it releases February 9.

One of the more interesting games set to release this fall is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. If you have never heard the game it is set in a future where Earth is devastated and robots rule. It contains a unique gameplay element where you are constantly accompanied by an AI companion. You play Monkey, a literal ape-man and your companion is Tripp, a tech-savvy woman. The catch is that Tripp has placed a headband on Monkey that is forcing him to cooperate with her. With the combination of Monkey's brute strength and Tripp's technology they must put aside their problems and work together to fight off the robots and make their way back home.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West releases this fall on October 8. Check out some direct-feed footage from Gamescom below and hit the jump to see some screenshots of the game.

Not sure how long this will last, but someone has managed to grab 2 minutes of gameplay footage for Super Mario Galaxy 2, most likely from yesterday's Nintendo Summit.

First off, the game is gorgeous, showing off what the graphical capabilities of the Wii and reminding us that yes Nintendo makes great looking games too. Not to mention, the use of Yoshi in a 3D world and the new drill feature makes for brand new 3D platforming experiences that we have all come to expect from our favorite Italian plumber.

Look for Super Mario Galaxy 2 on May 23rd, 2010.

I understand the long term benefits of a game's release date being pushed back, but that doesn't stop me from shedding a tear every time I think about the Splinter Cell Conviction delay. The latest walkthrough video doesn't exactly help things.

All the previous information shown at E3 2009 is visible in the video including the unique presentation style, the 'Mark and Execute' feature and the 'Last Known Position' mechanic. You might be interested in seeing how the game handles stealth and the sections that require, let's just say, a more offensive approach. Oh, and one more thing, Sam is rocking the iconic Splinter Cell goggles.

Be sure to check back with TAG because there are probably going to be a lot more videos to hold us over until the game's Xbox 360 release on February 10, 2010.

It looks like Left 4 Dead 2 will have an additional mode besides the well known Campaign, Versus and Survival modes. Called Scavenge, Valve's designer Chuck Faliszek describes the mode as "competitive (like Versus), but less time intensive."

Basically, the goal of Scavenge is to pour as much fuel (from sixteen canisters scattered around the level) into a centrally located generator. The mode consists of six rounds (each round is two minutes) where players spend three rounds as infected and three rounds as survivors. A point and 20 seconds are added by pouring a canister into the generator. The winner is decided by who has the most points at the end of the six rounds. Just to make things interesting, if a player is holding a gas canister as time expires, the game enters overtime. Overtime ends when the survivor holding the fuel pours it into the generator or drops the canister. The game will ship with six Scavenge mode maps which are modified versions of the campaign maps.

Check out Scavenge mode in action and let us know what you think.

Well, PAX has been over for almost a week, and it's taken about that long to fend off what people are calling PAX Plague or PAX Pox. To help alleviate this hardship, we've been treated to two new Tekken 6 videos featuring the Cardboard Tube Samurai! Appropriate, considering who runs the show at PAX, no?

What's interesting with these two videos is that the first shows off the CTS in the game's extensive Campaign mode. It looks like you can take on multiple enemies with or without a partner, string attacks in massive chains as well as acquire items. It should bring that much more replayability to a game already filled to the brim with content.

The second video shows off Yoshimitsu in the garb of the Cardboarded one with his signature moveset. How does he cause any damage with just a cardboard tube? Maybe he's just that good.

Remember, if you'd like to utilize this outfit, you'll need to pre-order the game from GameStop or Amazon before the game's release on October 27th!

Infinity Ward, has just relased a brand new multiplayer video highlighting capture the flag. Pay close attention as you will notice some brand new features and stay after the credits for a surprise that I am sure will please everyone.
