It's official: Assassin's Creed is a phenomenon. This stealth-action masterpiece took gaming by storm 2007, becoming one of the fastest-selling video game properties ever. This exceptional feat shattered even Ubisoft's optimistic expectations that the game would sell three million copies in its first year. As of this writing, Assassin's Creed has sold more than eight million.

To put this into perspective, Assassin's Creed has outsold every new intellectual property to be released in the past two years, dwarfing the likes of BioShock, Gears of War, and Rock Band. How Assassin's Creed became the hottest thing since the Mario Bros. and Master Chief is a subject of much debate. Is it the instantly recognizable white cloak worn by the titular assassin? The hybrid storyline told though a machine that allows its subjects to relieve the lives of their ancestors? Or is it the stealthy play style that plants you in the sandals of the world's greatest hunter?

Try all of the above. Starting with Assassin's Creed 2, Ubisoft is unleashing a multimedia firestorm that will span three different formats and three different timelines. This goes way beyond a mere video game, ladies and gentlemen. Assassin's Creed 2 is positioned for worldwide domination on your home consoles, your PSP, and your home theater.
