OXCGN historian digs a little deeper and unearths some more details and facts surrounding the continuing story of the Assassin's of the middle ages.

OXCGN will continue its investigations into the game so come over and check out what has been unearthed now, and add your five cents worth as to what you might think is happening.

Medieval Manhattan. That’s what the little walled hill-top town in Tuscany named San Gimignano is often referred to for its many medieval towers.

Seen from afar the towered town looks like a smaller medieval version of Manhattan’s skyscrapered skyline. These towers were built by competing families both for protection from each other (think Romeo & Juliet) and to show power and prestige.

Assassin’s Creed 2 looks certain to take place in Renaissance Italy and specifically Venice. However, recent reports and photo scans from the upcoming Game Informer issue shows two shots of particular interest that show that Tuscany will also be a location the new protagonist, Ezio Auditore de Firenze, will visit.
