May Cover Story Revealed on the Game Informer Website shows the next print issue of the gaming magazine will focus on Assassin's Creed II. If the character in the cover art seems unfamiliar, that's because the stealthy sequel features a new player character named Ezio. Word is: "In Assassin’s Creed 2, players take on the role of Ezio, a young noble whose family was lost through rival ruling families' betrayals. In addition to the new character, players are going to get to explore a new setting: Renaissance-era Venice. What else is going on? Well, you’re going to have to pick up the May issue of Game Informer if you want the complete story on Ubisoft’s latest." There are also articles on Kotaku and ScrewAttack (thanks Chris) with information supposedly contained in that Game Informer coverage, though this is all unconfirmed at the moment.

I almost never did any of that once I got the combat down and could take down as many guys as I wanted. It was just too fun to kill a pack of guards.

How is something being "too fun" a problem? Confused

I quite like AC, though to be fair I haven't really gotten very far with it yet, been too busy to play. I think the first hour and a half or so is awesome, but I can see that after this it just turns into endless "go to town, climb towers, do info missions, do assassination AFTER info missions" stuff and that that gets pretty repetitive.

Still, the world is awesome, I love the animation and abilities of the main character (pretty crappy controls on the PC though...) and combat is pretty cool so far (hard to get a hang of.)

Not terribly fond of ultra-aggro guards. (Seriously, riding a horse makes guards angry?)

And that whole shit with the Animus is just retarded. It wasn't enough to just keep it in the 12th century? I have to jump back to Dr dipshit and his fembot assistant every mission?

Also, is it just me, or does it take 97 hours to actually EXIT this game? While I'm playing, it seems like I have to :

- Hit Esc.
- Exit Memory
- Wait for animus room to load
- Exit Animus
- Hit Esc.
- Hit "Quit."
- Get put back into the "profile menu"
- Select my profile again.
- Hit Quit again.
- Finally get a window asking me "Do you really want to quit the game?"
- Confirm. Yes. I really do.

I'm of half a mind to just End Process the fucker.
