Assassins' Creed is a soon-coming BlockBuster

A SplinterCell-like, if you want a quick simple comparison, but a free, open, non-linear development in a medieval context. It should be available in November, I am so looking forward to lay my hand on it... ;) Edit: Latest news are the game is still planned to be issued in November for the XBox 360 players, but the PC version of Asssasin's Creed would appear sometimes in 2008... Geeez...

Beautiful video, gread soundtrack! Isn't it Placebo? I don't have any confirmation, do you know who sings?
Edit: Okay, that is actually a cool band called UNKLE, with Richard Ashcroft's voice and the song is Lonely Soul... :) the original version is 12-minute-long.

TV Series...

South of Nowhere... The song "Wasted" by LP comes from this TV serie. I swallowed the whole two first seasons last month! This is kind of a teenagers story with a lesbian touch, with some fast illogical, unreal twists but the characters are friendly, cute and funny. The third season beagan on a less positive trend though, I am not sure I will follow...



Maybe because meanwhile I discovered some good, better series, even some precious works! The Company (mini-series) was entertaining but not as deep and thrilling as I expected. Anyway, you will find a taste from good old cold war plots, nice pictures and an impressive cast (surprising Michael Keaton, sensitive Chris O’Donnell, very cute Alexandra Maria Lara and the charming Natascha McElhone).

Weeds came back with the second season in a pretty good rythm already, Ugly Betty (Betty Suarez) is a really good surprise, a bit heavy or tasteless sometimes, but the great lively, fancy cast, some hilarious moments and situations make forget the rest!

Nevertheless, all these - even added up - are *nothing* compared to the three jewels proudly brought to us by HBO, FX and Showtime channels... Do you see what I am talking about?
