Moving Pixels Podcast: The World of ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’

This week, the Moving Pixels podcast crew trains their eyes on the direct sequel to Assassin’s Creed II. This time the series returns to the story of the Italian Renaissance era assassin, Ezio.

However, this time Ezio has made a few new friends. So, among other aspects of the game, we discuss the “brotherhood” that this new Assassin’s Creed has embraced in both its story and multiplayer options.

This podcast is also available via iTunes.
