No spoilers here

Without delving into any specifics at all, I will simply say that the ending to Assassin's Creed 2 is the single best 5 minutes of media I have ever seen. In one cutscene, every single question the first two games introduced was answered, even the ones you never asked, and the plot took a massive increase in scale. It was exposition, rising action, climax, and conclusion all in one and was it ever fucking awesome. In less time than it takes to cook an egg, I went from hating AC1 to respecting it, from loving AC2 to wanting its babies.

I might be done with the game tonight, and definitely tomorrow, and I'm eagerly awaiting the probable DLC. After that's done, it's Expert L4D and Borderlands DLC. Also, I got my first straight flush in 20,000 hands in Texas Hold 'Em. 26,617 hands and no royal.
