CVG: Danny Wallace (the writer/comedian, NOT the 80s Southampton footballer) has blagged a role in Assassin's Creed II.
The Yes Man writer and ex-games journo is to have his voice and likeness cast for the character of Shaun Hastings in Ubisoft's sequel. Shaun will serve as a historian, guide and source of information for the player as he proceeds through the game, the publisher said.
