Now here is a game that finally bring out the true potential of the Next-Gen systems we hear so much about. Assassin's Creed for the 360 was created on a whole new battle system along with a revolutionary level design.

Set in the medieval age in the Crusade era, you control a master assassin, who possesses the memories of his ancestors who were the previous assassins, for reasons unknown the monarch needs the memories of the assassin's past. Going any deeper would spoil the well-woven plot.

`ROCK BAND'
Reviewed for: Xbox 360 and Playstation 3
Coming soon for: Playstation 2
From: Harmonix/MTV Games/EA
ESRB Rating: Teen (lyrics, mild suggestive themes)

Just when you thought there was no new system to buy this holiday, along comes a gaggle of peripherals that'll bogart more living room space than all three consoles combined.

Yes, if you want to experience the phenomenon-to-be that is "Rock Band," prepare to pay for it — $170 and several square feet, to be exact. EA isn't selling "Band" in pieces until next year, so the special edition bundle — which includes a guitar, drum kit, microphone and USB hub — is the only true way to experience the year's most ambitious multiplayer experiment.

From wikipedia:
Samuel Butler (4 December 1612 – 18 June 1680) was born in Strensham, Worcestershire and baptised 14 February 1613. He is remembered now chiefly for a long satirical burlesque poem on Puritanism entitled Hudibras.

He was the son of a farmer and was educated at the King's School, Worcester, under Henry Bright whose teaching is recorded favourably by Thomas Fuller a contemporary writer in his Worthies of England. In early youth he was page to the Countess of Kent, and thereafter clerk to various Puritan justices, some of whom are believed to have suggested characters in Hudibras. Through Lady Kent he met John Selden who influenced his later writings. He also tried his hand at painting but was reportedly not very good at it; one of his editors reporting that "his pictures served to stop windows and save the tax" (on window glass).
