With just around a month to go now before the release of Assassin’s Creed II, Ubisoft have released the fifth in the series of developer videos about the game. This episode covers Ezio’s progression to Master Assassin from being a young and impetuous man.
Assassin’s Creed II launches on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 17th (U.S.A.) and November 20th (E.U.).
Video is after the jump!
Someone let the cat-monkey-rabbit thing out of the bag…
GOONL!NE has snapped some exclusive pictures of some lucky so and so playing the Eyepet Online Beta on their PSN account. Seeing as how Eyepet has NO online play feature at all, it’s rather confusing; does this mean the 2010 American release will have online, or a patch is heading to the European versions allowing you to play with a friend’s pet over the ether? We can only speculate…
The pictures are after the jump.
EA have released eight brand new screenshots from their upcoming World War II thriller, The Saboteur, along with a new gameplay trailer too titled, “Just Getting Started.”
The game follows Sean Devlin fighting the Germans by sabotage through various means, evocative of the French Resistance. The trailer shows off various elements of the gameplay, from scaling buildings to out-right gun fights.
The Saboteur launches on December 8th on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Screenshots and the trailer are after the jump as always!
Over at the US PlayStation Blog Uncharted: Eye of Indra has just been announced to come to PSN today.
Eye of Indra is a Motion Comic prequelling the events of Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. There’ll be four episodes in total and it’ll feature the same voice actors from the game in the Motion Comic adaptation too.
Today’s video is free but the other three will be paid-for content, but the price is still TBA, and they’ll be arriving this November. There is no word yet of an EU release date.
One last thing. If you haven’t already, check out our review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
New from Rockstar is the latest video for upcoming GTA IV DLC, The Ballad of Gay Tony. The video shows off a new piece of the multiplayer from the DLC, BASE jumping.
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony is due for release as downloadable content and on disc as part of the Episodes From Liberty City on 29th October on Xbox 360.

Yeah, you’ve always wanted to. There’s something in the human brain that means we love nothing more than things being fired at more fragile things in slow motion. And an advert for the PS3 in Australia tap into that perfectly, with a matte PS3 Slim being hurtled into a Sony Bravia TV at 50 mph. Maybe it’s trying to symbolize the materialistic nature of the modern capitalist world, but it’s most likely because they were bored and wanted to see the inside of a TV.
Either way, it’s well worth a watch after the jump.
SEGA Europe has given GOONL!NE a “no comment” on whenever a Western release of Yakuza 3 will happen.
It comes as last week, a NeoGAFer said the publisher will finally release the game in the West, despite saying previously there were no plans to do so.
“No comment from [SEGA]“, said a PR from the company.
There might be hope just yet.
Fresher than a Xenomorph bursting out of your chest cavity, here’s the lastest trailer for SEGA’s forthcoming FPS, Aliens vs. Predator.
Aliens vs. Predator is being developed Rebellion Developments who were the team behind the 1999 original PC game. There are three campaigns in the game, one for each race, the Predators, the Aliens and the Colonial Marines. While they are separate in terms of individual plot and gameplay, overall they form one overarching storyline.
It is to be released February 2010 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The trailer is after the jump.
The Wii is set to launch in a new colour in Europe in the run up to Christmas. It’ll come as a “limited edition” bundle featuring a Wii Remote, Wii Motion Plus and a Nunchuk, all in a sleek new black finish. The bundle will also come with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.
Also launching in Europe as part of the black range of accessories will be the new black Classic Controller Pro – an enhanced version of the Classic Controller. Additional black Wii Remote controllers, Wii MotionPlus accessories and Nunchuk controllers will also be available to purchase separately.
The black Wii launches across UK and Republic of Ireland from 6th November and mainland Europe on 20th November.
A trailer for the movie Assassin’s Creed: Lineage has been released.
The film is a blend of real-life footage and CGI, craftily carving up the plot of Assassin’s Creed II, which follows Ezio round Italy as he stabs stuff. Here’s a little synopsis:
“Assassin’s Creed: Lineage is the story of Eizo (Main Character in Assassin’s Creed 2) & his father – Giovanni Auditore da Firenze. Is Giovanni an assassin? How did he die and Why does Eizo become an assassin? All answers will be explained.”
Sounds tempting. For now, you’ll just have to pause at the part of the trailer when that dude gets his throat torn open.
