Ubisoft's promotional activities for Assassin's Creed II began way back in May of this year, and to this point have never really stopped. Now, with the release date less than one month away, it's unlikely that the marketing campaign will cease prior to this years' busy retail season. This weekend, however, Ubisoft are stepping-out with the most encouragable aspect of their campaign to date: an invitation for the public to get their hands-on the upcoming Assassin's Creed II weeks prior to the official release date.

This weekend from August 10-14, players can play for free Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag and Valhalla on Xbox, PlayStation and PC (availability dependent on platform).

The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
