This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, we're celebrating the birthdays of two underloved gems. It's the big ten for Assassin's Creed Chronicles India, a midpoint entry in a 2.5D sub-series trilogy that plays not unlike Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Capcom's Lost Planet turns 18 today, too, and is still a blast in four-player co-op via Xbox Live. Lost Planet, I’ll remember you for your weird but awesome Frank West unlockable skin. Also for letting me lug around and unload a human-sized shotgun ripped off a mech. What's not to love about that?!
