Who doesn’t like a free app?

Ubisoft is giving gamers a chance to check out Assassin’s Creed II Multiplayer on the iPhone for free…if you hurry that is. The app is available gratis through Tuesday March 2nd, thereafter it’ll set you back $2.99. AC2 Multiplayer features gameplay with up to four people via Wi-Fi where the goal is to hunt down and assassinate the other players before they kill you. The game features three environments to stalk through, six power ups to enhance your lethality, and twenty four achievements to brag about.

Personally, this isn’t as crack up to be as it looks, judging by visuals that is. I Haven’t played it and don’t intend to, but fans might as well give it a go whilst its free

Ubisoft has announced that the second DLC for Assassins Creed 2, Bonfire of the Vanities, will be released February 18, 2010, via PSN and XBL. Players will gain access to a new district of Florence in the DLC as well as Ezio’s new “spring jump” move as they work with Machiavelli to free the city from the grip of the mad monk Savonarola by targeting influential citizens under his control.

Its going out for $4 or 320 MS Point, or you have the option to bundle with three Templar Secret Locations for $6.50 or 520 MS Points. Not sure about PSN pricing.

Palazzo Medici – Located in Florence, the player gets to explore the house of the Medici family. It is located in the San Marco district of Florence.

Santa Maria dei Frari – Located in Venice, in the San Polo district, the player gets to explore this renowned church built in the XIIIth century.

Arsenal Shipyard – Venice was known for its Arsenal, a shipyard that was settled in the eastern part of the city. The last Templars’ Lair is located there, and lets the player explore the Drydocks.

There are a couple of new screens from the DLC here and you can check out the trailer here

For PC fans, wondering about these DLC’s coming out, Ubisoft has announced that the PC released will include the DLC’s that are issued out before release in March

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed II has sold 1.6 million copies in its first week of release worldwide.

This number is not surprising due to the critical reception and internet buzz surrounding the November 17th release. If you compare these numbers to the previous Assassin’s Creed game release, Assassin’s Creed II is up 32% in sales.

I played it and finished it and I will be eagerly awaiting the third installment, even though nothing has been said yet.
