Morgan Webb recently traveled to Italy to get her hands-on with Assassin's Creed II and interview the makers of Ubisoft's new game.
First, Morgan talks with Patrice Desilets, the game's creative director, about the character of Ezio, the challenges in recreating real world cities like Florence and Venice, and how the team wants different players to experience Assassin's Creed II in their own way. Patrice also drops hints about some of the secrets that Ubisoft has included in the game.
If you haven't been following the development of Assassin's Creed II thus far, Morgan sums the sequel up nicely in her preview:
"While the first game took place during the time of the Crusades, this time it’s the Renaissance, and while there’s still no penicillin, life has certainly improved. Ezio is the son of a rich nobleman, and most of his attention is wasted on the exploits of young men with too much money and too little responsibility: booze, boobs and brawls. Everything changes one day when his family is double crossed, and he dons the assassin’s hood to get his revenge. While Altair from the first Assassin's Creed always seemed a bit of a cipher, Ezio feels like a living breathing human you relate to immediately. He doesn’t start out as an assassin, he becomes one because of the hand that life has dealt him, and you are happy to follow him on this 30-year journey."

Wow I want to pick up all of those comics. I've really been enjoying Sweet Tooth, because I love the Road and Bambi "You can call me flower if you want to". I have also now finally caught up with Secret Six so I can now pick up single issues.
Question to Blair or any of the comic book lovers of G4TV.com: I'm a Joss Whedon fan so I read Angel the comic. I heard that the writer on Fables will start writing for it. I was wondering if this is true. Any info is appreciated.
