On 14th July, This Is My Joystick got some hands on time with some incredible titles, not least Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, which, come next March, will certainly be one of the must have games of 2012. We were also given a close up view of Far Cry 3, add a side dish of a potential arcade gem in From Dust, a potential guilty pleasure in Rayman Origins and even the possibility of a top class movie tie in with Tintin and the day has certainly been something of a success overall.
On top of the games line up, those lovely folks over at Ubisoft provided Burgers, Hotdogs, Fish and Chips, Ice Cream, Toffee Apples, Beer, Wine and much, much more besides for the gaming press to enjoy.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
