The "Assassin's Creed" franchise has gone from strength to strength: since its lacklustre first release of "Assassin's Creed 1" (2.5/5) in 2007, Ubisoft Montreal has bucked up the ante by providing a fully-improved sequel in "Assassin's Creed 2" (4.5/5), while releasing companion efforts such as "Altair's Chronicles" (3/5); "Bloodlines" and "Discovery" (3/5) on the PSP, DS and iPhone respectively. This year, for the first time, Ubisoft are offering a full semi-sequel to the second game- dubbed "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", it will continue the story of Ezio Auditore in Renaissance Italy, sending the Assassin to Rome in order to 'strike at the heart of Templar territory' and discover the true meaning to the ending of "AC2". That means he's going to need more than a one-man army, so Ezio will recruit a team of assassins to help him take down key targets, and in a real-time-strategy-like move, Ubisoft have allowed players to tell their fellow Assassins what to do. If that weren't great enough, we're also getting a fully fledged online multi-player mode to mess about with, featuring hunting and last man standing modes aplenty. "Brotherhood" is going to be the last entry in the series until at least 2012, so fans should buy it simply because there'll be no more "Assassin's Creed" for a good while now!
