This ‘Watch Dogs’ 101 Brings You All the Hacktacular You Can Handle (VIDEO)

Breaking news: allegedly, there's some kind of fancy new free-roamy video game on the way. It's named Dog Watch, or y'know, something like that. There are dogs involved somewhere.

But let's sheathe our cynical snark for a moment. Ubisoft have been pimping the balls out of this one. They have prepared eighteen billion different special editions, and they have also ensured that none of them are definitive, like the great hairy bastards they are. Whether it be in-game content, an exclusive figure or a Watch Dogs branded jockstrap, you can't have everything in one package (though you could keep your own package safe and snuggly in the jockstrap, if that was a thing).

But despite all of this BS, let's not forget why we've been watching the Watch Dogs so darn closely. This ambitiously 'next-gen' project seems to be shaping up as a kind of more interactive, slightly more cerebral Grand Theft Auto. We've got all the reckless driving and guntastic we demand, plus the extra freedom of this hacking business.

So just what can we do in this futuristic Chicago? Ubisoft are glad you asked. They busted their balls making the above mini guide to the game, after all. Take a look.
