Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio may be joining SoulCalibur V

Consider this a rumor–it comes from anonymous sources, and leaked photos that could easily be photoshopped. And yet there does seem to be a ring of truth to it. Namco Badai’s SoulCalibur series is somewhat famous for including characters from other properties as guest combatants. Previous guests have included Zelda’s Link, Tekken’s Heihachi and Darth Vader to name a few, so it is expected the upcoming SoulCalibur V would also feature a guest fighter or two. The only question is who.

According to a source that wishes to remain anonymous, that guest character is Ezio Auditore from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series. The source confirmed this to Joystiq and also released an image to support the claim.

Now, pictures can be faked and anonymous sources should be viewed with a touch of skepticism. But how cool would it be to run up to Maxi and hit him with the hidden blade?

No official announcement on any guest characters has been made yet, so we’ll just have to wait and see if this proves true or not. SoulCalibur V will hit the PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 31, 2012.

Quick! This PS5 bundle just got an unprecedented price cut
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

We didn't expect the PlayStation 5 Slim, the updated version of Sony's video game console, to go on sale this soon, but you can already get the PlayStation 5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle from Amazon with a 20% discount. From its original price of $559, you'll only have to pay $449, which is a fantastic price for this gaming machine. PS5 deals always attract a lot of attention, so we expect this offer to get sold out quickly. If you want to take advantage of it, you're going to have to hurry in completing your purchase.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle
The PlayStation 5 Slim is more than just a slimmed-down version of the original PlayStation 5 -- though the difference is noticeable with 18% less weight and 30% less volume for the disc version. There's no performance upgrade between the PS5 Slim and PS5, and you'll be able to play all of the PlayStation 5 games on either model, but the PS5 Slim comes with a 1TB of storage with around 842GB usable, compared to 825GB with 667GB usable in the original PS5. That's nearly 200GB of extra space for your installed games, save data, and screenshots.

How to change your Steam username
Steam library.

Unless you've got an absolute premium username or have too many linked accounts to name, there's no reason to stick with the same username forever. Unlike some services that offer limited username changes or charge to change your tag, Steam allows users to adjust their usernames at any time.

You don't have to keep that awful username you picked on some random Tuesday before hopping into a game. Here's how you can make a change.
