A little Adam, a little Eve and a touch of Eden

I always knew Veronica Mars was an assassin sympathiser!

Firstly, if anyone is yet to visit, There’s Something In The Sea (the viral promo site for BioShock 2) is continuing it’s updates steadily, and if the game is going to be half as well written as it’s promotions have been, then we’re in for one cracker of a game.  It’s well worth your time to check in with Mark Meltzer’s progress every couple of days to see what progress he’s made.  I’ll say it now, I’m certainly going to be quite if Meltzer doesn’t find his way into the game somehow.  Cameo, recovered audio diary, whatever.  They’ve created such a wonderful strong character, it’d be a shame to consign him as a simple promotion.

Secondly, talking of games that worked hard to make awesome viral, how mother-folkloring awesome does Assassins Creed 2 look?  I’m trying not to post too much on it as it’s mostly just screenshots and promos at this point, but as more and more details make their way out of the woodwork, it’s sounding like a very strong sequel.  The fine folk over at AusGamers published their E3 video interview with associate producer Vincent Pontbriand recently, and to put it subtly: shit sounds amazing, son.  You can watch the video (and read the transcript) here, but what piqued my interest is that you’re finally going to get some details on Desmond.  Although I adored Assassins Creed, one of the things that I wanted more of was Desmond’s back story and the whole power play going on inside Abstergo.  I also loved the metric buttload of secret messages scrawled in blood that you can read after you complete the game inside the Animus machine room, so I’m keen to see if any of that comes into play.

Two big sequels I’m guaranteed to be keen on!
