Assassin's Creed Slated for November Release

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-you-from-behind-you dept.

Gamespot reports that Ubisoft's action/stealth title Assassin's Creed now has a release window: November of this year. The game will be available on shelves for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, as well as the PC. "Set in 1191 AD at the height of the Third Crusade for the Holy Land, Assassin's Creed puts players in the silent shoes of Altair and gives them the opportunity "to shape events during this pivotal moment in history." Altair is tied to a group of ruthless assassins whose plan is to bring an end to the bitter struggle by striking out at both warring parties."

    While the game looks good, I think I'm sufficiently uncomfortable with the idea of assassinating Christians in the Holy Land to not buy this game. I know people killed in Iraq, and I just don't think it would be fun for me to play the great-great-etc-grandfather of the people running around setting IEDs in Iraq right now.

      In other words, killing muslims (in a video game) = fine, killing christians = bad. I always knew a lot of americans didn't really value the lives of muslims, maybe I'm only seeing what I wanna see but I think your comment perfectly illustrates this.
