AC: Brotherhood GC Demo Sky Dives Into Some Hay

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was active somewhere in the shadows at Gamescom 2010, but Ubisoft saw fit to show us exactly what they had in store for attendees. Check out the video:

The Assassin's Guild meta game seems so awesome. I have a good feelings I'll be playing around with that after having recruited about 20 different assassin's. Let's just hope a Borgia guard doesn't come around and ax me while I'm sending a team off on a mission.
Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the ability you had in Final Fantasy Tactics to send squads from your clan out into the world. Can't wait!

Gamescom Walkthrough Reveals More About AC: Brotherhood

AC: Brotherhood Comes With a Toy

The Harlequin is exclusive to Gamestop.

This is easily one of the coolest limited editions I've seen.

My interest in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood started at about the lowest possible point.  I thought it was a senseless, needless cash-in on the success of last year's Assassin's Creed II.  While my experience with AC II was of high opinion, I didn't think they could pull it off twice in two years.

All other retailers will have The Doctor in stock.

What I've seen, including the multiplayer trailer for Brotherhood, has really helped to turn that predisposition around.  Honestly, I think I'm pretty excited for the game if everything is balanced well and the multiplayer modes actually give players objectives that fit.

Even more so is the temptation to run up the purchase price for the Limited Edition detailed by Gamestop here.  Preordering at Gamestop will also net you the Harlequin multiplayer skin.

That Jack-in-the-Box accessory looks really cool.  Maybe I'll be able to afford it with a combination of traded review titles and my new paying gig at GR.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Multiplayer Trailer

I originally thought Assassin's Creed Brotherhood would be a host of unmanageable, unnecessary, and unwanted multiplayer modes, strapped to the back of a single player experience that would feel essential before purchase and mundane afterwards.

Unfortunately, that attitude is betraying me as I watch this trailer.  Who knows!  Maybe Assassin's Creed Multiplayer can be done in a way that is both exciting and fun.  What do you think?
