A recent
Ubisoft press release has revealed that the company is
just so darn proud of its latest bundle of joy,
Assassin's Creed II. According to the publisher's own internal estimates, the game has sold 1.6 million units worldwide in its first week of availability -- a 32 percent increase over the launch week sales of
Assassin's Creed the First. The company also touted the game's
impressive critical reception, highlighting the game's 94 percent user rating on Gamespot and an average critic's rating of 91 percent on GameRankings.com.
We're glad to hear
Assassin's Creed II is doing so well despite being the follow-up to a fairly polarizing blockbuster. Also, here's a cool
Digital Foundry time-lapse video showing off the game's day and night cycles. Yeah, we know that has nothing to do with what we were just talking about.
Deal with it. We drop non sequiturs like Ezio Auditore drops corrupt, 15th century Italian noblemen.
