If you think there's nothing else to buy apart from Modern Warfare 2 (which you must have by now) than you're wrong as Assassins Creed 2 has slashed through this month and not delaying it to next year. Hurrah! If you haven't played the first Assassins Creed yet than do so now. If not than here's a recap.
