For those of you that are pinning for the Asus Padfone (we know we are) there is some good news (well sort of). Since it was first shown off at CES 2010 (in render form) there has been talk about battery life. Now that we have seen what devices like the Transformer and Transformer prime can do there has been even more speculation on the topic. Well is seems that Asus decided to let Engadget in on some battery performance numbers.

We missed this one on the 8th, but it is an important step for privacy right and the ability of the government to ask for everything they want. We had told you not that long ago how prosecutors were demanding information from Blogs, Twitter and other Social Media about people involved in the Occupy movement. This demand raised quite a storm as most felt it was an outlandish request (well actually prosecuting people for protesting is ridiculous as well) considering what they were after.

Another game trailer has hit the lines today. This time the game in question is Assassin’s Creed III. This time we find the famous Assassin fighting in the American Revolution (how topical). According to Ubisoft this new installment is only the opening chapter in two new stories featuring Connor (apparently a new Assassin). The game play in the pre-alpha footage looks like what we have seen in past releases, but it could improve quite a bit between now and its release. We have the text from the YouTube video a the trailer below.

For those that have been waiting for Max Payne 3 to hit the stores we have some good news for you. Rockstar has released a trailer for the new game and put it up on YouTube for the world to see. For those of you that are not familiar with the series Max is a Mickey Spillane style detective that has a dark side. Now you (as Max) have returned, burned out and quite the mess.
