Frankenreview: Assassin's Creed II

Assassin's Creed II has a bit more to offer those already familiar with the high-concept intricacies of the original, where you played as a bold and highly serious young assassin named Altair living in the Holy Land during the Crusades. Although, really you were playing as Desmond Miles,...

Opinion: Assassin's Creed 2 - Initial Impressions

Graphically, the game is a mixed bag. The first thing you are greeted to is the 'real world' of Desmond Miles, kidnapped bartender held hostage by the company Abstergo Industries and guinea pig for their Animus device in a war between the Templar Knights and Assassins of days gone by. The g...

Review: Assassin's Creed 2

But worry not, friends. Ubisoft has taken the rougher but ultimately more rewarding path, and pushed the series forward so far with Assassin's Creed II that it leaves the original looking like a mere proof of concept.Continue reading Review: Assassin's Creed 2

Testing Ubisoft's "Frequent Flyer" Rewards Program With Assassin's Creed II [Uplay]

Over the weekend, a dead option offered through my PlayStation 3 copy of Assassin's Creed II went live. "Uplay" now works, the latest attempt by a publisher to tie its games together. If nothing else, it improved my Assassin's experience.

So, the Haystacks of Assassin's Creed II - Are They Any Bigger? [Ohay]

Doesn't look like Ubisoft learned their physics lesson. Matt M., who helped the Kotaku Bureau of Weights & Measures calculate the cushion Altair would need in reality, thinks the haystacks are bigger in ACII. They still look puny to me.

Assassin's Creed 2 full of screen tearing

There is one sure fire way to ruin the graphics of any video game, one quick way to pull you right out of the experience, and that's screen tearing. AC2, unfortunately, has it in droves and I am extremely unimpressed so far with AC2 because of it. To me it affects gameplay when it happens this mu...
