As part of the promotion for the upcoming sequel to Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft is presenting a short film based on the characters from the game.

The film is divided in three chapters and will serve as an introduction for the story in Assassin’s Creed II.

The film is called Assassin’s Creed – Lineage and takes place a few years before the setting of the game. Each of the three episodes will follow the father of Ezio – the protagonist of the new game- who is introduced as Giovanni Auditore da Firenze in the first chapter.

It is commonly argued amongst us gamers whether or not the iPhone or iPod Touch is a serious gaming platform or a flashy impostor that refuses to accept its place as nothing more than a cell phone gaming platform. Big timers in the industry are slowly producing content for the Apple handhelds while also being seemingly timid that this is nothing more than a fad. Whenever a big name game is released into the tangled web that’s our favorite App Store, that game is always looked to as the justification of the platform.

That brings us to Assassin’s Creed for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
