Assassin's Creed III vs Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

I'm new to the Assassin's Creed series. I started with the fourth entry, Black Flag, which is basically a pirate simulator that someone at Ubisoft thought was a better idea than making another Assassin's Creed game, but the Ubisoft execs decided to call it Assassin's Creed anyway because they need to make a new one of those games every year or else they can't buy baguettes for their French children.

So, after loving Black Flag I recently decided I would give the only other entry that came out on Wii U a try—Assassin's Creed III. The experience so far has been somewhat different from Black Flag, so I thought I would briefly compare my first impressions with each game.

Welcome to Silent Hill ... Revelation!

Silent Hill is a town where your nightmares become real. Where your inner demons haunt you in the most literal way. Where men with adopted daughters, widowers, and truck drivers with troubled pasts should probably not vacation.

Since I have no demons (let me kick these empty bottles out of the way), and nightmares about zombies and xenomorphs are elements of a good night for me, I decided it was safe to plan a day trip to the foggy town. It had been quite a few years since I had visited the old haunt, so I figured I'd hit up some of the local attractions like Lakeside Amusement park, Toluca Mall and the Brookhaven mental hospital.

I never could have expected the sort of Revelations that awaited me.

Milla Jovovich vs. The Zombies, Part 5

Even though I have no idea how to correctly pronounce her name, I like Milla Jovovich. That's why I'm happy that the Resident Evil film series has finally hit its fifth entry, with Milla reprising her role as the rogue Umbrella agent Alice. Resident Evil: Retribution is once again directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, whose other credits include the seminal Alien vs. Predator and Mortal Kombat films (I am of course using the definition of "seminal" which means "of, relating to, or denoting semen").
