Then you're really missing out.

Yup, this is one of those sequels you find it hard to believe it's come out from the same team (is it the same team?).

I dunno how anyone could vote this best graphics of the year though, yeah all things considered the scope is nice, but pretty average textures on characters, shadow pop-in and some minor tearing.

Wow, I was zooming around in one of the glyph puzzles and found this hidden hex message:

41:6e:74:49:6b:79:74
68:65:72:61:20:4d:65
63:68:61:6e:69:73:6d
2c:20:6d:75:63:68:20
6f:6c:64:65:72:20:74
68:61:6e:20:31:35:30
20:42:2e:43:2e:45:2e

Which translates to

AntIkythera Mechanism, much older than 150 B.C.E.

What the? I wonder if there were more in the ones I've already done! @_@

Finally got a chance to start playing. The intro is very long and unfortunately I have to experience it twice. I'm really enjoying the changes so far though, and I look forward to more advanced combat.

I'm desperate to play this. This is the game i've been waiting for months now. It looks so good.

Looks like play.com wrecked the pre-orders on the Black Edition. Lots of people haven't received it yet and some peoples are "packing". Mine started packing Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon it was despatched. I've had it pre-ordered since it was first put on there and it seems i'm one of the last people to have theirs processed.

That will teach me to buy exclusive special editions.

Just finished it last night, and oh boy what a game!!

Wrestling the Pope!! priceless (Y)

And I thought everybody knew that we're engineered by a superior race :unsure:

And finally best closing exclamation ever! you're right Desmond WTF???

And Assassins Creed III? they are going to use the animus while in the truck, so I don't think it will be in present time, so there's gonna be a AC IV for sure.

It seems there are more tearing on PS3

Probably, AC1 on the PS3 was a technical nightmare.

It's just jarring after playing something like Uncharted 2 which is practically perfect in every way possible technically :p

The way the character runs annoys me as well, it's like he's constipated! :laugh:

Well, I have to say I cannot put AC2 down. I really tried to man-up through AC1 but eventually lost interest but damn, AC2 is fantastic. The story alone is keeping me coming back and Ezio is a much more refined character. Definitely got the franchise going in the right direction again. I actually am avoiding purchasing MW2 at this time because I want to finish AC2.

Same here (already finished it), first game of the year I couldn't put down until done, not even MW2 and UC2

Thats nice, don't care, they should've had them in the first but they didn't so I am not going to buy/play this game.

What a fail of a reason not to play the sequel :laugh:

My mate bought the black edition which was exclusive to play.com(?) and it wasnt even delivered today.

play.com fail.

I'm in the same boat. Really annoying but hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

If not, i will have to finish Dragon Age over the weekend.
