Assassin’s Creed: Revelations life in Constantinople
Find out what life used to be like in Constantinople.
And don’t forget. The city is called Istanbul now, not Constantinople. I don’t really know why they changed the name, but I am pretty sure it had to do with people just liking it better that way.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can be played forever
In an interview on Wired.com, Skyrim director Todd Howard talked about the game’s Radiant quest system.
The Radiant quests system creates an unlimited number of quests based on your current progression in the game. The player may be sent to kill a monster in an unexplored area of the world or be asked to collect a rare plant. These quests are randomly generated and the player will never run out. The new questing system will also allow players to obtain unlimited quests from each of the game’s factions. After you complete the core quests for a specific faction, random quests will be generated indefinitely.
This system gives players a chance to explore the massive world of Skyrim with an objective. “The world is probably the one thing that sets [Skyrim] apart from other games,” said Howard, “It feels really real for what it is… It’s just fun to explore.”
So if you were worried about running out of things to do in Skyrim, you should feel a lot better. Because, you know, you can play the game forever.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will hit shelves November 11, 2011.

Michael Bay’s Need for Speed: The Run TV commercial
What do you get when Michael Bay directs a TV commercial? Lots of explosions and a paper-thin plot—so pretty much another Transformers movie.
And did I mention avalanches? Because there are some of those thrown in there too.
Pre-order Trine 2, get beta access

Want Diablo III for free? Just play WoW for a year
Blizzard has announced that Battle.net members who are willing to enter a 12 month World of Warcraft commitment will get Diablo III for free. But wait, there’s more!
If you agree to the 12 month commitment, Blizzard will also throw in Tyreal’s Charger, a new WoW mount, and a guaranteed beta entry into the next WoW expansion, which was announced to be Mists of Pandaria during BlizzCon this week.
If you are planning on playing WoW for another year, there’s really no reason to not take advantage of this offer. Unless, of course, you hate free stuff. And if that’s the case, then don’t get a free copy of Diablo III, see if I care. I’ll just look down and laugh at you while I prance through the skies of Azeroth on my Ethereal steed.
For more information about the offer you can check out Blizzard’s FAQ.
