We’ve got an absolutely packed issue for you this month. Ezio is our main man on the cover to tie in with our six-page review of the awesome Assassin’s Creed II. It’s the first unofficial review out at the moment, and it’s one you guys can trust. However, if mixing and scratching is more your thing then you might like to check out our DJ Hero review. We’ve also got verdicts on Dragon Age: Origins and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

Elsewhere in the magazine, if you just can’t get enough of Modern Warfare 2 then you’ll love our special report that includes an exclusive interview with Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling. Our Features section this month discusses photorealism in games and what videogames have taught us about death.

Previews-wise, we managed to get hands-on with Dead Rising 2, Bayonetta, Lost Planet 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. Meanwhile, you can browse through the fresh batch of screens for Splinter Cell Conviction, Crackdown 2 and Castlevania: Lord Of Shadows in our Foreplay section.

All this and more for just £2.79 – a bargain, we’re sure you’ll agree. You can buy yourself a copy from here.
