Amazon and other retailers plan to release Assassin's Creed III on the 30th of October, which is just in time for some Halloween gaming. Of course, you'll be too buys slashing and slaying red coats to care for such petty things. 

Though we estimated SMNC's launch for April, the lack of updates from the developer made us feel as if they were experiencing a bad case of the delays. Fortunately, that's not the case. Out of nowhere this weekend, SMNC went live on Steam during a beta run, which went sour. The devs promised some gamers access to the beta, but technical complications made a huge mess out of the situation. 

Promises were broken to faitful fans, so the devs opened up the game to everybody, and now it's on steam as a free-to-play title for Windows. Also, check out the games category page for the latest and upcoming releases.

These are unconfirmed details, but new information suggests an October launch for Grand Theft Auto V. The rumor comes from a Rockstar employee's cover letter, which points out October as the launch month for the big game.

Of course, there's a couple reasons to be forget about this rumor for the time being. First of all, one of the reasons companies withhold launch dates for as long as possible is that the launch date may change depending on several factors, so this may be one possibility that Rockstar considered at some point in time. For all we know, it has already changed. Second, this could simply be a prank.

Then again, it could be a clever publicity stund by Rockstar.
