Assassin's Creed 2 hyped with live action movie.

In the coming month of November, gamers will be able to purchase some of the most anticipated games of 2009. Apart from Dragon Age, Modern Warfare 2 and L4D 2 we will also be able to purchase Assassin's Creed 2 (actually on the same day as L4D 2..).

If you haven't played or at least heard of the first Assassin's Creed (although you'd have to be Helen Keller for this to be the case) then you should probably try the game out. Similar to the first game, in AC2 you play an assassin with a wide and entertaining variety of weapons and killing techniques available to you. AC2 is set in Italy during the renaissance and so the player has access to a few more awesome gadgets (including some kind of flying contraption).

Anyway, in order to get possible players hyped up and to delve a little into the backstory of AC2, Ubisoft has released a short live action movie on YouTube about the protagonist's father, who is also an assassin. This movie comes in a few parts (2 or 3) and the first has been released. It's not particularly great, although it does give an interesting insight into the background of the plot. Fans of AC2 should definitely check it out.
