It has its hacking and slashing moments, but like so many movie-licensed titles, it ...

By which we mean the Middle Ages, history-phobes, not last week in South London. According to publisher Ubisoft, the game will "reinvent the hack'n'slash genre," which is a bold boast. If it's at least as good as The Lord of the Rings: Return ...
