It’s now clear that Assassin’s Creed is likely going to be a yearly franchise for the foreseeable future – which is great for fans of its story, as it means we’ll get a resolution to the ambiguous ending of Brotherhood that much sooner.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
