GameStop Shows Off Assassin's Creed II's Master Assassin Edition

The newly announced Master Assassin's $80 version of the otherwise-$60 game will be exclusive to GameStop and offer Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners an 8.5" statue of protagonist Ezio, an art book, a behind-the-scenes DVD and a collectible tin.

More intriguing is that this limited-edition version will offer "two exclusive in-game maps." One is unlockable for anyone who pre-orders the game and is set in the Palazzo de Medici. The other, exclusive to this version, is set in or near the Venetian church, Santa Maria Dei Frari. [Kotaku]

Assassin's Creed on iPhone

Here are screenshots from the games opening trailer. Pretty good looking and all, but it's a video clip screen shots.

Now, here are the in game screen shots, pretty sweet too!

So far (after one level) the game plays great. It has been smooth and the controls are fairly simple, when you need to perform an action, the button for that action will pop up. The standard buttons stay up on the screen (jump, fight). Even fighting is fun! This might be the best game thus far for the iPhone given its complexity in a 3D environment.
