Ubisoft also had major announcements about two of its heavy hitters for the holiday season. First, it revealed that Assassin's Creed has sold--not shipped--over 1 million units worldwide in just one week. Currently available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the Ubisoft Montreal-developed actioner has received rave reviews by many gaming press outlets for its advanced graphics and deep storyline. (A PC version is due out early next year.)

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed has held onto the number one spot in both the individual and combined format charts in the UK, despite a 32 percent drop on its launch week sales.

Ubisoft is launching Assassin's Creed this week. Meanwhile Japan has to wait until November 29 to try it out, but unlike the multiplatform release in North America, Ubisoft only has a date for the Xbox 360 version. The Playstation 3 release is probably still coming out. It’s not like the box art has the “only on Xbox 360” stamp or anything.

For a game that has so many systems running simultaneously and offers such a vast area to not only explore but also climb on, jump from and hide in, we came away impressed that everything ran as smoothly as it did. We saw zero slowdown during gameplay, even when multiple enemies and NPCs were on-screen.
