Access TV Episode 55 hits YouTube today with Assassin’s Creed III as Game of the Week. There’s everything you need to know about Ubisoft’s mega-threequel, from hunting bears and shivving redcoats, to commanding naval battles and skipping through the treetops.

Elsewhere there’s a bunch of excellent coverage from the recent New York Comic Con, which not only takes in the very best of America’s cosplay scene but also sees the Access team chatting to both Gearbox Software about Aliens: Colonial Marines and – stop the press – Aliens star Lance Henriksen, who is as brilliant as a real human as he was as an android.

Bonus Level sees the crew zipping down the Thames in a speedboat in the name of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, before chatting with developers Sumo Digital about the game itself. There’s also The Unfinished Swan in the PlayStation Store round-up, plus F1 Race Stars in PlayStation Briefing, so kick back and enjoy the show!

Access TV Episode 53 hits YouTube today with steampunk masterpiece Dishonored as Game of the Week. It’s shaping up to be one of the best titles of 2012, with a fresh take on stealth, a gorgeous art style and one of the richest and most compelling game worlds in years. Do not miss it.

There’s footballing fun in Access All Areas as the team visit Manchester for the FIFA 13 Celebrity Cup. Community presenter Ben Stead takes us through the evening’s events, which sees sports stars battling it out for the honour of being best at virtual footy, plus there are interviews with Manchester United’s Ashley Young and Team GB long jump hero Greg Rutherford.

Bonus Level is also in Machester, but in a slightly less glamorous location. An abandoned care home to be exact. One that has been run over by real life zombies (well, actors in make up). This is ZED Events’ Resident Evil 6 inspired survival horror experience, and has you acting out all your undead slaying fantasies with a massive airsoft shotgun. Amazing.

Access TV Episode 49 is all smiles on YouTube today as LittleBigPlanet PSVita takes its place as Game of the Week. Check out Sackboy’s handheld moves – from touch screen controls to camera integration – in all new gameplay footage. Needless to say, it’s every bit as brilliant as its PS3 predecessors.

The team are also in the Tower of London this week for more on Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation. As well as stacks of gameplay footage, there are interviews with the team at Ubisoft who chat about new heroine Avaline as well as their personal Animus fantasies. No, not that kind.

Then there’s the small matter of Ray ‘The Daddy’ Winstone popping up in Bonus Level to talk all things The Sweeney and Killzone 3 – not to be missed. To round-off, there’s a tour through the latest PlayStation Store content as well as all the latest news in PlayStation Briefing. Enjoy the episode!
