Assassin’s Creed TV Spot

3:30PM Logan Booker | If you haven’t seen this already, it’s the TV advert currently running in Australia/New Zealand to promote Assassin’s Creed. Which officially came out today… and unofficially last week. And yes, that’s Massive Attack’s Teardrop. It’s almost like watching the intro sequence to an episode of House. Of course, Altair has a tendency to kill people while Hugh Laurie does the opposite, but it’s two sides of the same coin as far as I’m concerned. I think you could put that music to just about anything, run the video at 15fps, and end up with something as haunting as, say, the hungry open-mouthed stares of your 90-year old grandma. More »

An Altair Figure To Stalk Your Crusader Lord Figures With

10:20PM Luke Plunkett | Yeah, the Assassin’s Creed collector’s edition comes with an Altair figure. But why stop at one? Why stop at one figure when you can have two? This is NECA’s take on Altair, the latest in their Player Select line, and he comes with working retractable wrist blades, four throwing knives, a sword and another knife. For when seven blades just isn’t enough. He’s due in November to coincide with the game’s release, and you should be able to pick him up pretty much anywhere. Gallery after the jump. More »

The Assassin’s Creed Collector’s Edition Figure: Now In Full Colour

7:00AM Flynn De Marco | A few weeks back, our good friend Cheapy D revealed that the Assassin’s Creed Collector’s Edition would include a nice little collectible Altair figure. Unfortunately, all we had at the time was a simple black and white photo. But thankfully, German website cynamite.de has gotten a nice colour photo of the whole set for us to check out, although truthfully, his outfit is mostly white anyway. I love that these collector’s editions are getting more and more elaborate. Pretty soon they’ll just come with a little game dev inside to help you through the game. [Thanks, Phil] More »
