Assassin's Creed 2

I'm enjoying Assassin's Creed 2 for the PC. There are so many improvements made compared to the first game. You can use different weapons now, have more various killing moves and new assassination techniques (it's pretty awesome to stab n throw a guard off a roof while hanging just under him or stab a guard from inside a haystack and pull him in).

There's a new economic system in place too. You actually have money and can upgrade your town with it which in turn brings in more money. A lot of people complain that the economy system is pointless but I'm not one of them. The main point of the game is to kill people. I find the economy mini-game is a nice little distraction.

Here are some Developer Diaries for Assassin's Creed 2. I find it fun and educational to see how a game is made from concept to completion.

I believe I've posted something about Assassins' Creed 2: Lineage previously. Assassin's Creed 2: Lineage follows the story of Giovanni Auditore da Firenze who is the father of Ezio, the character controlled by the player in the Assassin's Creed 2 game.

The film was originally released in 3 parts but this youtube video contains the full 30 minute movie.

Although SOME PEOPLE are already playing Assassin's Creed 2 on their PS3s (oh and XBox 360s) on the 17th of November, we PC users will have to wait til 2010. Til then, we have this movie to keep us company.
