ditto, this game looks sweet, still not sure about the whole 'its a past life lived through a computer but you can still die thing' I heard about. Strikes me as a bit like a star trek holo with the safeties off so picard can kill borg with tommy guns situation, mind you, that bit is good.
Theres a rumour floating about that the protagonist in assasins creed is useing/stuck in/imprisoned in some sort of 'VR' rig. And he has to stay alive long enough for the space ninja pirates to rescue him*
