Geek Natives in the UK might have noticed one or two adverts for Raving Rabbids Travel In Time. As it happens Ubisoft are pumping £1m into the Rabbids campaign. Who said Ubisoft was all about Assassin’s Creed? As you might imagine most of the advertising is being spent on children’s TV channels – CiTV, Cartoon […]
Are there investors circling Ubisoft?
Last week EA raised around $122 by selling their stake in Ubisoft. That’s right, games giant EA has held a 15% stake in Ubisoft and has for the last five years. The relations between the two publishers haven’t always been best. So, what does this mean? Any large shift of shares causes a change in […]
Raving Rabbids Travel in Time

Rabbids in your iPhone with Rabbids Go Phone
I’m a great fan of the Rabbid’s Wii games. They’re a spin off from the Rayman franchise and about a million times as fun. Ubisoft’s latest venture with the loudmouthed and cheeky rabbids is away from the Wii and towards another incredibly popular casual gaming device – the iphone. Not only can you shake your […]
