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.
