1UP writes: "I've been telling this to everyone who interviews me lately," said Hideo Kojima in an intervew in this week's Famitsu magazine, "but I think there are three games that stand out above the rest of the pack in the remainder of this year. One is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, one is Uncharted 2, and the third is Assassin's Creed II. Those three are just incredible."
That's high praise from a figure some would call the most talented game designer working out of Japan right now, and Assassin creative director Patrice Désilets is more than a little appreciative. "I really never felt much pressure, but with Kojima saying things like that, I'm starting to feel it now," he responded with a laugh."
