I confused about buying games on my windows phone...does it charge my card or does it go on my next bill

Last time I checked it will charge your Credit card that you have linked to your gamertag. I'm like 95% sure that there is no way to pay for the games and stuff on your monthly bill.

It charges the card you have on your profile. I have bought a few, or more.....

@ Cruz, just to add to Pure's great list there's also a deal of the week every week which usually has one of the $2.99 games marked down to $1.99.

Anyone else get a half chub while reading the spread on AC III in the latest issue of GameInformer? I wasn't that excited when I heard they officially announced it and put out a trailer which I still haven't seen. I was just like "Oh hey another AC game. What a surprise." but I'm really looking forward to it now after reading that spread and learning that it's gonna revolve around the Revolutionary War.

I feel the opposite. Redcoats armed with single shot muskets and little to no melee fighting ability beyond a bayonet are going seem like assasinating fish in a barrel.

A armored knight from Enzio's era would have a much better shot at fighting an assassin then a unarmored soldier with no real combat training and one bullet don't you think?

No. The Red Coats were probably the most battle-hardened military force of that era and I'm sure the combat will be just as good if not better than the previous games. There will be more than just Red Coats with bayonets. Not that it really matters who they throw up against your assassin since the running theme of these games has been your ability to shred any foe that gets in your way.

Battle-hardened as in completely getting decimated by poorly armed rag tag militia's using guerilla tactics who exploted the inflexibility of british forces. The actual large battles consisted of two armies slowly marching towards one another as the front ranks walked into bullet volleys. Battle-hardened or cannon fodder? They trained you how to shoot, reload, use highly inaccurate artillery and march in formation. Skilled at the outdated disciplines of the time period on the enemies home turf. None of this helps them against assassins.

I'm sure they will find some avenue to make it playable but it's probably not the ideal environment for a game like this.

More than likely you will be operating way behind enemy lines within their encampments and well into their governmental offices gathering intel and assassinating the way-high mucky mucks. You may see some field action but I am sure it won't be that much.

The battles still came down to hand to hand combat which every army across the history of time has trained their troops in. I'll agree that the British were spread thin and exploited by guerrilla tactics but they still came damn close to winning the war with their outdated tactics which were still being used for the most part nearly one hundred years later during the Civil War (which I wouldn't be surprised if we see in the next installment).

Did you read the spread in GI? It won't be just Red Coats you go up against and their will be some big battle scenes according to the developer they interviewed. They've been working on battle scenes featuring thousands of soldiers.
