Assassin's Creed Renaissance sneaks into US

i dont mind those game into novel things. Gets gamers to read more and increase their vocabulary. ^^

Hopefully it expands and explains the...*cough*..*cough*...(ending)...a bit.

Well im a fan of the Halo books so maybe ill take a look at this.

i like '''

Reading these days is great, with authors like Jim Butcher, Dan Abnett, Robert Jordan, and Karen Travis (well, until Lucas Arts screwed up the Mando's). I don't know how people can not read. Pickup some of the Warhammer, and Warhammer 40k novels (i'm not just talking Dawn of War). Dresden Files are a hoot and getting better. We will also, finally see the end of the Wheel of Time series over the next two years. Even, the Halo novels aren't too bad (definitely better then the games) for novels based off games.

ac creed 2.5

If this is what it takes to get people to read these days then so be it.

DOes this book also have the same DRM?

whoa looks amazing and fun

@athenian29 ha ha ha i was in hurry so i forgot the er and about reading it's not so hard i just get sleepy or bored when reading that's all

HAHA i got this book a month ago how could it have not been released yet

I wish I could buy that. They wouldn't showed up in my country though.

@FaintRain You not a read no way you're? Maybe if you harder trying. :lol: Seriously, what's so hard about reading? And what's so bad about it? You need it to browse the web! It's important! And people who say there's nothing interesting out there clearly haven't looked. I'm not even going to bother with people who say books are *expletives*. They're hopeless.

i'm not a read no way i'm,but if it's AC then i'll become one

Interesting... I think I'll go and check it out. :)

sometimes books based on games can be pretty good. I really enjoyed the warcraft novel "Lord of the clans". Even the Starcraft and Diablo books were good reads, especially "Speed of Darkness"! So i picked this up about a month back. Haven't read it yet - I have a few others to get through yet. Hopefully its a good read!

soilworker apparently you have NO idea what your talking about.. warcraft has more story then most games out there.. go play WC3/tft and you'll see. Also WOW carries on with the story of TFT, just another basher that has no friggin idea about what his saying.

I liked the splinter cell books. Ghost recon was meh, @ vicsrealms Comment of the year right there bud.

soilworker warhammer online is based of a miniature battle game that FOCUSES on story

Hmm, does the book require you to be logged on to the internet to read it too?

Books are always better, the only games you don't really need to read the book for are MMO's. Games like Warhammer and WoW, just play the game, it's an MMO.

@zameen Ever heard of punctuation? You should try to use it sometime, it might make your mess of a sentence into a paragraph that actually makes sense.

I read the book too be honest I would say that you shouldnt buy the book why?? because almost 3/4 of the book I could predict the dialogues or Ezio's actions in the book only about 1/4 of the book is well entirely new Guys dnt waste ur money but instead buy the DLC for AC2 and u get urself a complete book with excellent voice graphics and story cheers Requiscat de Pace :P love that dialogue after every assassin

hope this is good i loved ac2 but i dont feel like playing it again when i have many other games to play this book would be good to go back into more ac2

The first game had book burning in it :)

About time, ubisoft is lagging far too much from Bioware, which almost always novelize their games (ME. DA:O), and about time an AC book came out, since Ubisoft canceled the release of "Imam" (first AC book based on Altair) hopefully this will redeem them. It's also good to expand the in-game universe beyond the console.

Novelizations of ANYTHING are generally completely horrible. I'll pass this one up and just play the damn game.

It's hilarious how almost every comment on here is being thumbed down. I feel like people are just trolling this site now in any way they can. From what I've read of the book, it's someone else's view on both titles stories and is a sad attempt at reproducing something great. They really should have spent more time writing the book and maybe, just maybe, something good could have come of it.

@ Sepewrath I totally agree with you. Milking a franchise would be the developer intentionally omitting large parts of the game and later releasing them as broken DLC. Oh wait...

Love books and Games but they don't go together. The only reason I bought the MGS ones is because I don't have the games and while it is a good game the book stunk. read a real book

The only video game books which I've finished and enjoyed are the Dragon Age books. Despite some annoying grammatical errors in The Stolen Throne, they were both good reads and really add something to the game's universe. I wasn't surprised that they were good, considering they were written by David Gaider, the lead writer of Origins.

As much as i like videogames, i'm gonna stick to reading real books.

no dont like game books, its like reading tom clancy or the halo novels the books require a longer attention span than the games, just not meh!

Novels based on games? I had no idea this was happening.

bough it. read it. still disappointed. :/

The Halo books (the good ones which I say are Fall of Reach and First Strike) were different in that they were not copied from the game. The weakest one was easily the middle book which was written by a different author and all he did was exactly what this book did. It's not that it's bad, it's just retreaded ground.

I'd read it if it were in my hands but I'm not going to go looking for it.

Book is terrible.

i already bought the book in december when it came out. :P i still haven't actually finished it. xD it's not as exciting when you already know basically everthing that's going to happen, ya know? xD oh well. i'll finish it eventually. :D

Good, they should release a book for this franchise. It did so many things to Halo, if you have not read a single Halo book, you have absolutely no idea how much further the story goes then in the game. The books make that franchise so much better. A book is so much better, more detail, more explanations, broader and more intense story in general, no matter what game it is. I would honestly rather read it.

Yeah a book isn't milking the franchise, its simply expanding it. Milking it would be having 3 Assassins Creed games in a year.

Oh please no...

i read an extract of it a few months ago, it was terrible. the writer pretty much copies down everything as is from the game, and just adds his own descriptions and thoughts to flesh it out, it's really bad. Some of the stuff i read didn't even make grammatical sense, i'm sure a writer from Gamespot could write it at least 100x better.

I needed a book for a school report, saw this yesterday, thought to myself, YES. Bought it right away. Even though I don't read unless I have to.

What's a book?...

@okassar I agree with you, these people really don't understand what milking actually means, I mean I don't know. So that's why I don't just go on saying that "oh, too many sequels, definitely milking"

AC1 and 2 are both great games with interesting stories (for a video game), but lets be honest, the story just wouldn't cut it as a book.

why read about it when you can play it??

It's good that this one didn't get canceled as well.
