Ships Ahoy - Watch Dogs; First Reviews [May 27, 2014, 09:30 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Today marks the release of Watch Dogs, as Ubisoft now offers the
open-world hacking action game also written as Watch_Dogs. The
Watch Dogs
website has links to locate the dizzying array of different versions of the
game, some of which are listed as preorders, and therefore may no longer be
available. NVIDIA released drivers and a tweak guide for the game
yesterday, and
AnandTech says AMD will follow suit today, but a new Catalyst beta is not
yet available. The first reviews are online, and here are some of those, with
the PC review listed where available:
Ars Technica,
CVG,

and
Worthplaying. Also, this
ctOS
Mobile App FAQ has details on the accompanying Watch Dogs iOS and Android
apps, with links to get them that should go live when they are available. Here's
the official description of the game:
Set in Chicago, where a central network of computers connects everyone and everything, Watch_Dogs explores the impact of technology within our society. Using the city as your weapon, you will embark on a personal mission to inflict your own brand of justice.
Chicago's overarching network is known as the Central Operating System (ctOS), and it controls almost all of the city's technology and information - including key data on all of the city's residents.
You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. While seeking justice for those events, you'll monitor and hack those around you by manipulating the ctOS from the palm of your hand. You'll access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.
I love these articles with multiple site reviews. It is a great way to find out which sites are honest (no BS) and which are obviously favoring the game publisher. I look at all of the reviews, then bookmark the sites that gave the game a real, fair, score.
