Assassin's Creed 2 (Playstation 3)

Ubisoft is back with the next chapter in their newest hit franchise, Assassins Creed 2. The first game was a smash hit and the sequel is shaping up to be bigger and better than the original. This time, instead of sneaking around ancient middle-eastern cities, you play an assassin in Italy during the middle ages. You will meet many helpful characters in your journey through the time, including fictional version of famous artists like Leonardo Da vinci. The inventor will help you along the way, giving you all sorts of crazy gadgets to help make your adventure easier. In one sequence, you fly across the darkening sky of an Italian sunset, across the roof tops in order to find your next victim. You will have to decide where and when to best take out the mark, and the best way to get in and out of the situation before being discovered by the enemies. The first Assassins Creed had beautiful graphics and smooth animation that it seemed almost impossible, but somehow the developers have managed to get even better graphics and smoother animations from the machines that the discs are played on. Assassin Creed 2 releases on November 17th, just in time for the holiday rush.
