You might have forgotten Skull and Bones, but it's back to remind you it exists with an upcoming free week.
]]>The first season of Skull and Bones kicks off on February 27 and will run for 12 weeks, as will the others, during which you can expect plenty of opportunities for high-sea pirate shenanigans.
]]>The Best Games Ever podcast is a game show where three regular panellists have to find the best game in a weirdly specific category such as "Best game with a named horse", or "Best game with a terrible British accent".

But there's a lot of office politics, backstabbing, and meta-gaming going on which makes this mild-mannered panel game fraught with real danger.

]]>It’s funny that Ubisoft is using “long live pirates” as the tagline for Skull and Bones, given that once upon a time the boss of the developer/publisher revealed that a miniscule 5-7% of players on PC actually paid for the company’s products.

So to see the studio knowingly wink and say “long live piracy” is funny.
