Okay, first post! I pre-ordered the CE for AC:R and my store isn't doing a midnight release. So I have to wait to pick it up tomorrow. W-weh!

Has anyone else pre-ordered the game yet? Are you as excited as I am?

(Highlight to read)

On a lot of sites I've seen people put spoilers in white text colour to match the page. That way readers have to want to read them - they won't see them by accident.

A thread for all things Assassin's Creed...

Oh, goodie, I can ask a question I've been wondering about. My son started playing the first game a couple of months ago. He seems to really enjoy it. I don't know much about the game itself other than what I've seen on the screen in passing, have read on the game covers and what my son has explained but I saw the books when I was last at the used bookstore and wondered how good they were. Do they follow the in-game storyline faithfully? Are the well written? Are the books worth picking up or do they fall flat and disappoint all but the most ardent of collectors?
