Here's the thing about Assassins Creed: Pirates (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/25/assassins-creed-pirates-for-phones-and-tablets/) (you know, aside from the obvious swashbuckling theme): It was made specifically for phones and tablets. In fact, Ubisoft warned from the get-go that we probably wouldn't see a PC or console version. Starting today, though, you can play it on your computer after all -- well, sort of. Ubisoft just released a free browser-based version (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/19/assassins-creed-pirates-browser-version/) allowing you to play in the browser, using either touch input or a mouse and keyboard. What's nice, too, is that although Ubisoft developed the web game with Microsoft, it actually works with every major browser -- Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and, of course, IE. As a bonus, it runs full-screen, something most web-based titles can't do.
