We’ll get this out of the way first Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is not like the Tenchu games of the past. Acquire rebooted the series with a greater emphasis on stealth than swordplay. Rikimaru can’t run around haphazardly throwing smoke bombs and stabbing all of the guards. You have to play it cool and follow specific [...]

Buried in Ubisoft’s third quarter 2008-09 sales report was a revised fourth quarter release schedule.
