And we’re finally here.
Assassin’s Creed II has long been my most anticipated game of 2009. Flawed as it may have been, I absolutely loved the original game, and I’ve been eager to see a sequel ever since.
And now the game is less than 24 hours away, and boy does it look good. From what I can see, Ubisoft listened to the fans when they crafted Assassin’s Creed II. I’ll reserve final accolades for after I actually give the game a try, but I’m pretty optimistic at this point. I’ve little doubt that Assassin’s Creed II will be an improved experience in every way, and a possible candidate for game of the year.
All will be revealed shortly, it seems. Be here to read my impressions. I plan on buying the original again tomorrow (seeing that I’ve apparently lost my copy) and giving myself a refresher course. So if you’re lucky, maybe I’ll write about that. Or something. We’ll see. In any case, we won’t be hearing from Ethos, because he’s a silly poor person who can’t afford to buy the game.
Well, I take that back. We’ll certainly HEAR from him, but god knows if we’ll hear anything relevant.
I’d be happy for Ethos to review the original AC :)
Hey is it just me, or is the above picture striking the exact same pose as Cole from the Infamous cover. I swear that if you overlaid the two (bulky costume aside) they would be a perfect match …
I think you’re right. They are VERY similar. The only difference I can see is that Cole isn’t walking.
Oh, and if I had $98723959823592837498237091795832175091875098741592318074 I still wouldn’t buy AC2 first day.
Yes you would.
I don’t think it’s guaranteed either way.
So two weeks ago Riddles was too poor to buy any more games, and now he’s buying/bought Dragon’s Age, MW2, AC, and AC2 since then? Did he win the lottery and I didn’t read the update where he stated that?
Not really, I just gave up on trying to budget my money. It’s the holiday season, after all. Might as well blow all that I’ve got.
You bet! Fly up to Canada!
Whereas I literally couldn’t eat on Saturday because, blinded by excitement, I stupidly put full price down on New Super Mario Bros Wii. It was worth the unnecessary starvation.
I’m constantly shocked at how little of my budget actually goes towards games. Despite getting all games that I have both interest in and time to play (the latter 1/2 usually being the kicker), it’s something like 5% of my income that goes towards gaming in one form or another. Most of it goes towards much less interesting things, like electricity and food. Stupid body, always needing to eat.
On a sidenote, I love mint.com. Offering me useless information about my finances for a little over a year now.
Oh yeah, and now I can’t see Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man without thinking of Chevy Chase spread eagle. Thanks, Community!
I love Community. So much. It’s getting really good.
“Might as well blow all that I’ve got.”
The very words I live by.
“I think you’re right. They are VERY similar. The only difference I can see is that Cole isn’t walking.”
Cole is walking … they even have the same leg forward!
I bet their proportions are even within a millimetre of each other, it’s the same picture, just different clothing …

Just one word for you, SN: why?
I thought it contextually appropriate …
I don’t know of any context that wouldn’t be improved by SparCole.
Perhaps he reminds Ethan too much of work … If SparCole doesn’t have a home at Riddlethos then where?
