Assassin's Creed set for November release

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jun 7th 2007 at 2:15PM }

There's nothing more pleasing than infiltrating a dense crowd of oblivious strangers, stabbing your intended victim in the back and then making a daring escape by scurrying up walls and leaping across rooftops. Of course, on a rainy day you'll probably just want to play Assassin's Creed. 1UP reports that Ubisoft plans to release the hugely anticipated medieval stalker sim on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this November in standard and limited editions.

You'll surely want to inform all your friends via your Mybook or Facespace page, so please try to avoid embarrassment by spelling the game's title correctly. We'll advise you to remember the first part by breaking it into three simple and highly memorable words: "ass", "ass" and then "in." Don't bother using this technique to talk about your recent visit to the psychotherapist though, as that becomes an unsettling "Psycho the rapist."

Avoiding Halo 3 and GTA4, of course.

Well it's about time. I've been waiting forever to play this game.

I'm going to be so broke the holiday season. I hope no one else minds not getting gifts.

Assassin has always been my favorite word

assassin - 1531 (in Anglo-L. from c.1237), via Fr. and It., from Arabic hashishiyyin "hashish-users," pl. of hashishiyy, from hashish (q.v.). A fanatical Ismaili Muslim sect of the time of the Crusades, under leadership of the "Old Man of the Mountains" (translates Arabic shaik-al-jibal, name applied to Hasan ibu-al-Sabbah), with a reputation for murdering opposing leaders after intoxicating themselves by eating hashish. The pl. suffix -in was mistaken in Europe for part of the word (cf. Bedouin).

This is a perfect example of a game that simply cannot be done on the Wee. The Treesity and the PS3 are capable of so much more than the Wee and the gap will only grow larger as the year rolls on.

I am really looking foward to this game and I hope Ubi does not screw this up by making it equal in quality to their Wee games.

C'mon Ubisoft don't let me down.

That was pretty badass. Anyone know the name of the song in the trailer? It sounds a little like Remy Zero but I'm not sure...

Dave R. @ Jun 7th 2007 4:11PM

The song is 'Lonely Soul' by Richard Ashcroft, lead singer of The Verve.

Bit late on this aren't you? Been out for awhile. Love the UNKLE song though, works well with the trailer.

SSBBB and especially Halo are gonig to slauther this game, bad bad idea in terms of initial sales Ubi

@GodisaMyth

You just figured that out?

@9.
Richard Ashcroft only sings it as part of a collaboration but if anyone is really interested in the song, it's by U.N.K.L.E (Dj Shadow), on the CD "Psyence Fiction". On there is also the song 'Rabbit In Your Headlights', sung by Radiohead lead, Thom Yorke.
