The last game was a little online game available only on Ubisoftâs PC. Called New Star Soccer, this little game harnesses real-life soccer game-play into a little 36-bit graphics.

Ubisoft has reached for the stars. Literally! Theyâve announced plans to send an advanced satellite into space. This will increase game speed hundred-fold now that they donât have to share stations. This is planned to cost them 300 M of their 2500M. They are making an offer to Jax Games if they want Ubisoft to send a side-project satellite into space.
Ubisoft has released the icon for their satellite:
Jax Games has accepted the recent offer for a side-project satellite, as they wanted to see how well an 8-bit MMO action game would turn out, and they did not want any crashes on launch day.

It will feature an infinite universe, but Jax Games said they will pay for the storage. More news to come.

We at Breath Coding has released what we call âSimuEarthâ for the Umagine. We were very happy when IGN gave it a score of 8.5 for Being a strategy game that really makes you think what you doing but the only thing that hold them back is that the first time playing the game is really difficult unless you bought the guide for the game. But as sales are going im going to say were making a pretty good profit.

Ubisoft isnât going to compete with SimuEarth, and instead is pondering whether to sell the âAssassinâs Creedâ Franchise, or continue it.
