Assassin’s Creed is right around the corner. Under two weeks, possibly the slowest two weeks of our lives? I think so. Well, since we are all AC deprived, we need something, new refreshing and pornographic to tide us over. We don’t have the porn bit, but here is the latest Assassin’s Creed trailer.
Well, to be precise, it’s the launch trailer. With one of those ‘ZOMG what’s that song’ tunes with it.
Watch it and weep, weep tears of joy, ‘cos Assassin’s Creed is right around the corner and we all need it.

UBISOFT AND IFC ANNOUNCE WINNER OF SHORT FILM COMPETITION INSPIRED BY ASSASSIN’S CREED(TM) VIDEO GAME
SAN FRANCISCO - November 1, 2007 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, and IFC, the first and largest network dedicated to independent film, announced that Greg Reid’s short film “The Ultimate
Weapon” won the short film contest inspired by the video game Assassin’s Creed(TM) due out in November. As part of the prize package, “The Ultimate Weapon” will debut on IFC on November 14.
Greg Reid’s “The Ultimate Weapon” was among more than 100 valid entries submitted for judging via IFC’s Media Lab (http://medialab.ifc.com), a groundbreaking, integrated program which offers filmmakers a destination for
posting their independent films online. Submissions were narrowed down to a top 10 list by Ubisoft (including key members of the development team in Montreal) and IFC, with the eventual winner chosen by fans and visitors who
voted on IFC.com for the film they lik d best.
“While the top 10 entries were all very solid, video game and film fans alike voted Greg Reid’s ‘The Ultimate Weapon’ the clear winner,” said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. “Ubisoft’s partnership with IFC yielded some great films and proved to us that Assassin’s Creed is able to engage people’s imagination and spawn creativity. The story and mystery of the game itself has already struck a chord with fans of video games and film.”
“The Assassin’s Creed short film submissions we received were outstanding and any of the top 10 entries had a chance to win, but Greg Reid’s entry proved itself the best of the field,” stated Lee Sparer, vice president of
partnerships for IFC. “Part of IFC’s mission is to provide a voice to independent filmmakers on all levels, and so it is exciting for us to have offered this opportunity and challenge to our talented filmmakers on Media
Lab. We look forward to participating in other similar contests in the future to help platform short films and other video content being produced by undiscovered talent around the country.”
Greg Reid claims his grand prize of $10,000, an Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, an Xbox 360 version of Assassin’s Creed and inclusion of his short film inside the Limited Edition version of the
game. To view the winning film online, and the other top entries, please visit http://medialab.ifc.com/assassinscontest.
“I’m really excited that our Assassins Creed short film, ‘The Ultimate Weapon’ was selected as the winning film, amid a very competitive line-up of entries,” shared Greg Reid, the director and co-writer of short film The
Ultimate Weapon. “Assassins Creed has it all from a gaming perspective. Joel Poehlmann and I wrote a film, inspired by the rich and dynamic backdrop of the game. We wanted to create a film and storyline that had it all; a
little intrigue, fast-paced action fight sequences and killer still animations. After making the film, I can’t wait to play the actual game myself.”

I have decided to write an article which will go through some of the bigger complaints about Assassin’s Creed. I’ve argued all of these points repeatedly, and want to do it one last time, onto the rant argument!
The Combat System
Okay there was a GIANT debate about this system on the forums a while ago, I thought it was as idiotic back then as I do now.
The combat system was described by a few on the forums as being “Too easy looking” by some and “Too complicated” by others. Though most of the professional opinion and even amateur opinion says otherwise anyways, I’ll focus on that. Those who play and review video games for a living have complimented this game to no end. Including the creator of MGS, Hideo Kojima himself. Anyways, heres some quotes I’ve gathered up which talk about the combat system and their opinions: More
