Assassin's Creed II was easily one of our most anticipated titles at this year's E3. Not because we loved the first game (though we did, issues and all), but because Ubi had openly promised to approach all of the problems punters had with Assassin's Creed, and we think any developer willing to admit they screwed up the first time, deserves a second chance.

So we sat through a controlled hands-off demo of the game which definitely got us all warm and fuzzy inside. We also grilled Ubisoft in a full video interview which we'll be posting up shortly, so stay tuned.
