That Altair, he gets everywhere, doesn't he? In the streets, up walls, on horses - all over the place. There always seem to be folk chasing him, too. Or trying to put an arrow in his tush, at least. Poor fella. Since it's Ubisoft that's sent us this latest batch of Assassin's Creed screens, we can't help but feel that it's somehow responsible...

Ah well, such is the lot of a medieval hitman, we suppose. Ducking, diving, weaving, dodging. Like SPOnG avoiding the ladies' attention on a Friday night.

The release of Assassin's Creed is finally upon us this Friday - despite the fact that Ubisoft's own trailer indicated a Thursday 15th release date. See SPOnG's review on Wednesday to see whether it lives up to the hype.

In the meantime, you can dig in to all the Assassin's Creed screens, news and videos you can handle over on SPOnG's dedicated game page.
