PSX Extreme writes: "Assassin's Creed II launches next week and PlayStation 3 fans everywhere are anxiously awaiting the chance to step into Ezio's capable boots and slink through the 14th-century streets of Venice. But Ubisoft isn't going to leave PSP owners out in the dark; Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, which can be considered a direct sequel to the original title that released back in 2007, will be on store shelves on the exact same day. Hence, November 17 is a day when all stealth/action aficionados should be excited as you can test out new assassin adventures either in your living room or while on the go. And while many of you are wondering if Bloodlines will be a big step back simply because it's on a handheld device, we're here to assure you that Ubisoft has indeed worked to make this a full, accomplished, complete experience."
John of GAMElitist.com - "Hasn’t it gotten old by this point? I feel like the story never moves forward because Desmond is perpetually trapped inside of that damn Animus."
They just need to finish the current story arch in 2012 then either take a break or start something fresh with a new story.
I'm still working my way through Revelations (way too many games to play actively right now) but I'm having a blast.
I will say they missed on some new mechanics (bad tower defense) but the story is still aces and I'm enjoying it a lot
It got old half way through the first game for me. Haven't gone back to it yet. I am sure it is a good game but for me... it was more of the same thing as I played through it.
Last week Tecmo Koei Europe revealed that a new sale on their PlayStation Network line-up would be launching soon. A generous share of titles reduced significantly would surely be welcomed by the publisher’s fans, however Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has now confirmed that the “PSP Power Sale” will be going much further, offering over one hundred titles in total at a reduced price.
Hope this sale shows up in the US. I would like to have plenty of titles to throw on my Vita.
A new diorama based on the forthcoming Assassin’s Creed: Revelations has been revealed, set to launch throughout Europe shortly after the game itself. This highly detailed and hand-crafted statuette depicts Ezio Auditore da Firenze in a combative stance as he is about to commit murder.
The pose looks so stiff. I'd think that if I were an assassin, I'd probably be twisting my body as I'm about to stab someone with the blade, but here he's just kinda...not.
