When it wasn’t Klinsmann diving to make one of his seven saves — as he did on the first-minute shot from Nahuel Ferraressi that opened proceedings — it was the crossbar serving as the U....

Unfortunately, based on Ubisoft’s recent comments, it feels like gamers will never truly get the closure they’re looking for. Sure, the current exploits of Desmond might come to an end in Assassin’s Creed 3, but that doesn’t mean this series is looking towards an end point. In fact, Executive Director Laurent Detoc told Gamasutra that he hopes the franchise makes it to its tenth iteration, and beyond. He hopes that not only will Ubisoft be able to keep this annual series going, but that they will eventually be able branch it out....
