News Assassin's Creed II's Launch Trailer Reminds Us The Franchise Is Good Because It's Different
Watching the embedded launch trailer for Assassin's Creed II reminded us of one major thing
The franchise is different. If you've been living under a rock, you'll know that the latest game in Ubisoft's franchise is set in a renaissance Italy. That's awesome. It doesn't really matter what the actual game's like (it's great - Ed), hats off to Ubisoft...

We had no idea that Assassin's Creed II plots the character of Ezio over a series of 30 or so years

Look, in all honesty we hate the pseudo-futuristic elements of Assassin's Creed
We really hate it. But look, there is a saving grace - because one of the characters in that segment is voiced by Miss. Kristen Bell. And if you've not been living under a rock for the past 5 years, you'd know Kristen Bell is pretty damn adorable. She'll make another...
News TGS 09: Find Out Why Ezio Is An Assassin In Assassin's Creed II
Seems like there is some bureaucracy involved in the lead up to Assassin's Creed II's plot
The trailer depicts an angry Ezio watch on as his father is sentenced to death. We're going to go out on a limb and suggest his father was wrongly sentenced death. Probably because of corruption. The trailer also features those crazy ass wings. Dude.

News Hey Ubisoft, Why Isn't Splinter Cell: Conviction Coming To The PS3?
In this day and age, third-party publishers developing games exclusively for a single platform is considered a bit weird
With around 30million XBOX 360s out there and 20million PS3s, well it seems a bit silly limiting half your audience. Alas, that's exactly what Ubisoft's Splinter Cell: Conviction will be doing - the game is an XBOX 360 exclusive...
