The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

Has anyone else here checked out the AC2 Web Battles site? It's pretty good.

Things it has -
Link a gamertag/PSN to an account to put your in-game stats on the website
The site has its own set of AC2 achievements linked to these stats, which gets you -
Access to hints [some glyph answers, some too-small feather maps]
Sounds from the game [Animus effects, the flag sound from AC1, opening a chest, hidden blade, etc]
Exclusive artwork [a lot is taken from the artbook, but it's about desktop-sized and there is some new stuff]

well ive been wandering for a week or so how to defeat a brute, and i thought that i should help everyone else who need Help, anyway if ur like me and an intermediate player or begginer the best way to defeat a brute is disarming him, it might not sound easy, u might take 2-3 hits before u get it but it works then u hit the brute once with his own wepon and his dead, now if ur pro, (which im not) then ull have to do that or counter attack the brute and counter attacking a brute is the hardest thing in the game.

That I looted from one of the dummies you shoot when trying the pistola for the first time. Anyone knows what is it for?

Well? What are your likes and dislikes about AC2?
