It's not often that a brick-and-mortar retailer captures your attention in the middle of a gargantuan Steam sale, but that's how the tide has gone in the last few years. The sales just aren't as good any more -- and the fact that Australians still get slugged in US dollars makes it even less enticing.

But that's the opportunity EB are taking up right now, with a end of financial year sale. There's plenty of games that priced at surprisingly reasonable levels.

Assassin's Creed: Unity may have been and gone, already succeeded by the more positively received Syndicate, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take five minutes out to watch this new Revolution-themed film. A collaboration between Deerstalker Pictures and cosplayer Eve Beauregard, the film chronicles the assassination of an influential French Marquis -- all in the name of liberty.

One would think an easter egg that involves eating delicious-looking cake would have been uncovered within the first few days of Assassin's Creed Unity's release, but no. It took a year and change for this Unity secret to be revealed, and the pay-off is quite delicious.

It's been happening for a while and people should have learned to expect it, but developers are still pulling the age-old trick of raising prices right before a sale, and it's a bloody shameful practice.

On today's episode of Highlight Reel we have rocket shots, teabag revenge, peek-a-boo headshots and much, much more.

The latest major patch for Assassin's Creed Unity will free players from the need to connect the console or PC game to the game's companion app or Initiates website to unlock some special items in the game.

During the Q&A portion of its earnings call today, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot touched on Assassin's Creed Unity's disastrous launch by acknowledging it wasn't "perfect". That's one way to put it.

Video: Few play Assassin's Creed for historical accuracy, but the games are set during important moments from our past. History Respawned asks experts to provide insight on the contextual backdrops of various games. This time, it's Assassin's Creed Unity and the French Revolution.

Today on Highlight Reel we have hovering bread, enlightened wing-suiting, extremely hot winemaking, and some Halo 5 slams that would make Charles Barkley proud.

I may not have liked Assassin's Creed Unity very much, but I was still excited about its free expansion Dead Kings, which then went and failed on me twice in its first two missions.

Well that's one way to take care of Far Cry 4's eagles! Also on Highlight Reel today we have car tornadoes, unfortunate Assassin's Creed deaths and the cops of GTA V showing some improvised skateboarding.

Dead Kings, the formerly for-pay expansion to Assassin's Creed Unity, will be released for free for all ACU players on January 13, according to a new trailer from publisher Ubisoft. But... the YouTube description initially mentioned December 16. Hmm.

Today on Highlight Reel, we have some cool plays from the Halo 5: Guardians beta, a fantastic Counter-Strike: GO bomb defuse and a novel way to survive the most intense plane crash in GTA V.

There's no doubt that Assassin's Creed Unity had technical problems, otherwise Ubisoft wouldn't have apologised for the game's performance and issued a series of ever-larger patches. So what's it mean if the graphics, then and now, seem to in many ways be the same?

It's a busted game, but it's also a very pretty game, so let's just focus on the latter with this collection of art from Assassin's Creed Unity.

Assassin's Creed Unity is a game as big as it is broken, as divisive as it is lavish. So our three biggest Assassin's Creed fans figured they'd sit down and get to the bottom of this conundrum.

Delayed just one day for most players, Patch 4 for Ubisoft's premiere Q4 2014 release, Assassin's Creed Unity, is out today for Xbox One and PS4 (PC later this week). It's massive.

Last week, Ubisoft said that it was planning to release a major patch to fix many ongoing problems with Assassin's Creed Unity today -- as in Monday, December 15. Now, the developers have announced via their live updates page, "we are choosing to hold off until we can give you the improvements we've promised."

In today's Highlight Reel we have a daredevil skydiving in GTA V, a perfect slam in Destiny, and some interdimensional karaoke hostesses in Sleeping Dogs.
