Just beat Assassin's Creed II...well, the DNA Sequence campaign at least. Who said you can't learn anything from video games? One of the great things about the Assassin's Creed storyline is that it is carefully based around factual events throughout history. For some reason the designers seem particularly fond of 15th Century and the history that lie there within proximity of Italy.



It turns out that Rodrigo Borgia, also known as Pope Alexander VI, was probably one of the most evil popes that ever lived. There are stories of murder, incest and the largest recorded orgy involving hundreds of nuns, servants and courtesans. More info on his atrocities here...



Half Assed Review

Assassin's Creed II is ten times better than the first one was. The storyline and plot keeps moving and you don't get lost or sidetracked the way some people did in the first one. No more downtime or sleep schedule for Desmond in between session's in the Animus helps the game focus more on what is important, which is hunting down the Templars which murdered Enzo's father one by one. But don't just take my word for it, hear it from guys who know what they are talking about...(sometimes) at Ign.
