Assassin's Creed II
Spoiler AC1 and AC2
Wed, 12/16/2009 - 09:30 — LilkanyonEzio gets stabbed in AC2 and pops up unharmed...cuz he's the prophet and can't die? So I'm gathering Al Mualim really tried killing Altair in AC1 and because he couldn't he came up with his lie to explain why Altair didn't die? Did anyone else guess the same thing? Did Al Mualim send Altair into those assassinations half hoping he'd succeed and half hoping he'd fail because he saw him as his greatest threat from the start? I often wondered why he would send in his best assassin without his best weapons (stripped of rank remember?). It was just inconceivable to me.
Story time!
Wed, 12/16/2009 - 08:38 — YurkleNorfSo, after beating the game twice I decided to have some fun. I was going around San Gimignano on my second save, meaning to do the side missions I hadn't done while going through the game.
Apparently, there's a bit more to combat than we thought.
Machiavelli and Rodrigo Borgia (Probable Spoilers)
Sat, 12/12/2009 - 23:03 — Fly Like an EagleThere were two very outlandish predictions I made about the game's antagonists back on AC-Maps. One of them I was completely correct on regarding killing the pope (I'm Looking at you, Asaic and SBZ) and one I got completely incorrect regarding Machiavelli.

Altair or Ezio?
Fri, 12/11/2009 - 04:02 — Garnier de NaplouseWhich character do you like better?
I might have to pick Altair. I personally didn't really care all that much for Ezio at the beginning of the game. He became a lot cooler as he matured, though. And by the end, he's awesome and his combat and weapons are much more advanced than Altair's. But I think I'd still pick Altair just because of his personality and how he changed from being arrogant to being wise. It was an interesting way to develop his character.
Damaged Save Game
Thu, 12/10/2009 - 03:42 — Garnier de NaplouseI got Assassin's Creed 2 the day it came out, took my time doing the missions, collecting feathers/chests, doing side missions and exploring the city. Anyways, 4 days ago, I had just gotten to Sequence 14 and the game was autosaving, when all of a sudden, my Xbox froze.

Game Patch
Wed, 12/09/2009 - 02:15 — AsaicIt sounds like a patch for the PS3 version of AC2 is live in some regions of North America. I can't check right now because I'm at work.
The word going around is that a patch was "announced" for the PS3 version to fix the save-and-quit issue in Sequence 11, so this might be it. Hopefully it also fixes the freezing issues that some people are experiencing.
Edit:
Shaun Hastings Theory
Mon, 12/07/2009 - 22:05 — LadyVeOkay, this theory is not very well-founded, but I could not help but think about it.
When you talk to Shaun while you play as Desmond, you find out that he isn't an Assassin by birth. He was actually a normal guy who found out dirt about Abstergo (the fluoride experiment gone wrong mentioned in the first game, I believe) and decided to expose it to the world. He had no idea who he was up against and he was lucky the Assassins (namely Rebecca) found him before the Templars did.
