Whats the UK release date anyway?

Amazon.co.uk and Play.com are all showing a November 10th release date...but thats a tuesday.

Tuesdays are US release dates.

Fridays are UK release dates.

A November 10th UK release date therefore cant be true surely?

I thought it was the 20th as I remember thinking that Ubisoft were mad to release Assassins Creed 2 on the same day as their 1st week sales would probably suffer big time.

Perhaps 'worldwide simultaneous release' will actually mean something for once. There is no prohibitive reason why games can't be released any day of the week in the UK if they want them to be.

Looks pretty damn controversial to me, what do you think?
Word is, it can be skipped, which I think was probably the best way of handling things, but still meaningless to the inevitable Fox-news report on it all.

Nonetheless, stating that 'The scene is designed to evoke the atrocities of terrorism' is bullshit. Giving the player the opportunity to partake in a little airport killing spree is not 'evoking' anything, it's outright representing it, and just adds fuel to the fire of the most legitimate objection against the scene: not that it's sick and wrong, but it's a self-important piece of 'oh, aren't modern games deep and stuff' design, with the same old ridiculously polarised ethical non-dilemmas rearing their heads again.

I wonder if they perused allowing you play as a civilian for that level. That would have 'evoked' the scene just as well(if their goal with all this was to make you really hate the terrorists in MW2 rather than not-really-giving-a-shit in MW1).

I'm not sure of the context of the airport 'mission' but, well for one, I don't see how that can be any fun to shoot hundreds of unarmed people, completely unopposed.

Considering that it's been a week since the third-person mode stuff found its way out there, it's surprising it's taken a week for the leak to become available.

My AP World History teacher said he played the game yesterday, and that it was amazing. That was the exact word he used. He can't wait to play it again.

Well if you AP World History teacher likes it, it MUST be good!

Also, your teacher downloads games illegally. Make sure you blackmail him with this if you need your grades to be higher.
