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."

Christians were not the target of the actual group historically referenced, and the game materials talk of targeting both sides:
Hashshashin Aside from that, this is one of the most bizarre commentaries I have ever seen. How does the logic even connect? Would you be comfortable if the game featured a Christian sect running around assassinating Muslims during the Crusades? How about if you could play both sides? Would you play it then?
