She is the presenter of BBC Radio 3’s monthly Sound of Gaming show and has a weekly consumer tech slot on BBC Radio Scotland. She can also be found on BBC Radio 4, BBC Five Live, Netflix UK's YouTube Channel, and on The Evolution of Horror podcast. As well as her work on GamesRadar, Louise writes for NME, T3, and TechRadar. When she’s not working, you can probably find her watching horror movies or playing an Assassin’s Creed game and getting distracted by Photo Mode. 

Hot (hat?) on the heels of the news of an Ubisoft theme park opening in Malaysia, now you can see what you'll probably be able to buy in the gift shop. Courtesy of UK company Merchoid, you can now pre-order the official Assassin's Creed Syndicate top hat.

Complete with an Assassin symbol lining and the insignia of the Brotherhood on the outside, the hat is apparently ideal for when you need to blend into the crowd. “We don't think there's ever been a top hat that's been based on a videogame character before, so we're really excited about this," says Merchoid creative director Charanjeet Kondal and he's probably not wrong.

"We like to focus on products that we think are awesome and we're usually lucky enough that the fans love them as well. We expect the hat will be really popular at cosplay events, but it's also a perfect disguise for blending into high society. In fact, it's ideal whether you're a gentleman, scholar or an Assassin. Beware, pork chop sideburns are not included.”
