If you're feeling strapped for cash this past couple of weeks, particularly because of your latest purchases, Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2, too bad, cos there's another hot "2" title that you shouldn't miss. It's Assassin's Creed 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC), and it's coming your way next week. Not to worry, though. Amazon's got you covered. More details after the jump.

Thanks to quadraxas for the heads up!

In a total "Stick It To The Man" attitude, website Call of Duty Hacks is claiming that the much-hated IWNET system for Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) has already been hacked into. A YouTube video showed a ranked PC match, along with the player blatantly using a wide variety of cheats.

This video here came up on YouTube earlier, and what do you know, it's Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC). Or so the video claims.

We have here the video for the Rust Map that's said to come to Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC). You've seen the screenshots, now go check out the vid. After the jump.

If you want to see Assassin's Creed in live action, then here is your first opportunity to do so. Ubisoft has just released the Cinematic Debut trailer for Assassin's Creed: Lineage, their live-action effort for the said franchise. See thee video after the jump.

Infinity Ward kept it a surprise, and it's pleasant enough for all Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) fans! The team has updated their official website, and soon, we'll all be able to gain entry to the Expanded IW community.

Heads up, importers and Final Fantasy fanatics alike. Turns out that YouTube ad announcing the Japanese release date of Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) we saw yesterday was right on the money.

Is there a date revealed for Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)? Even though it's just for Japan at this point, it still beats not knowing when the "2009 release" exactly is. Check out what the kids from Japan found out in the full article.

Could this be the first look ever for Bungie's Halo: Reach? This video here is an Animation Reel, allegedly for the said game, as posted by  Animator and Designer, Will Christiansen. The video's been taken down since from his own personal website, but as always, thank God for YouTube.

Even if Chrono Trigger stands as one of the best RPGs ever to come out the then Squaresoft bag of tricks, you might say that Square Enix didn't follow-up on the fame as well as the fans would like. So along came Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, a fan-created ROM hack sequel to the time-travelling adventures of Crono and company. Unfortunately for the devs of the project, Square Enix just whipped out the dreaded C&D order, demanding that they destroy the 98% complete project. You might feel as bad as I do especially after you watch the trailer.
