Ubisoft has penned a deal with TransGaming, which will lead to their games being released for the Macintosh using TransGaming’s Cider Portability Engine. The games will be available at retail and via TransGaming’s GameTree portal.
The first games scheduled for release are CSI: Hard Evidence and the Petz series, with “additional key titles” planned for later this year including some simultaneous Macintosh / PC releases.

My Grand Theft Auto IV comedown just got a lot easier thanks to a relief package from Ubisoft that turned up today, containing Haze and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Look for reviews in the coming weeks.
So with me sorted for the weekend, what are you playing?
Ubisoft will be running a Private Beta of Tom Clancy’s EndWar for three weeks in June and July. If you’ve got an Xbox 360, a Live Gold account, broadband, and 3GB of space left on your hard drive, head over to the signup page, verify your e-mail address, answer a whole bunch of questions, and cross your fingers. Oh, and it’s open to people outside the US - bravo, Ubisoft!
Ubisoft today announced the release date for Free Radical’s PlayStation 3 shooter, Haze - May 22, 2008. In the mean time, why not check out the demo currently available on the PlayStation Store, which supports four-player co-operative, or our gallery of Haze screenshots.
Ubisoft and EMI today announced that Korn’s new song “Haze”, inspired by the upcoming game of the same name, is now available from online music retailers. The song is also available on the enhanced CD version of Korn’s untitled album, now available in Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Ubisoft’s massively hyped Assassin’s Creed is an interesting one - an ambitious mix of history and science-fiction, with action and stealth gameplay. Ubisoft and Jade Raymond, producer of the game, certainly had no trouble drumming up a massive buzz for the game - but did the game come through with the goods?
Looks as though PlayStation 3 owners will actually get an early taste of the PlayStation 3 exclusive FPS from Ubisoft, Haze. The demo, set to hit the PlayStation Network in early May, will feature a small sample of the single-player campaign as well as online, four-player co-op gameplay. Can anyone give us a WOOT? And just to tease you further, click inside for a new screenshot yanked straight from the demo!
Ubisoft has announced a distribution agreement with Tecmo that will see the Nintendo DS hit Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword released in Australia and New Zealand. Expect to see it on shelves some time in June this year.
Amazon is now selling Jam Sessions for the budget-friendly price of $19.99 - so go and prove to the world you don’t have an R4 living in your DS.
Ubisoft’s latest TV screen-to-console attempt will soon be upon us. And in this latest trailer, we are treated to some cutscene and gameplay action. This is, if you class camera pointing and clicking as ‘action’.
Sure, the graphics and voice acting may leave a little to be desired, but I’m sure the legions of Lost devotees will make the purchase to complement the Series 4 return.
