I know there are gamers on here... Got this last night, played for about 2 hours and it is awesome. If you've heard nothing about it (but are familiar with the first two Assassin's Creed games) it takes place during the 1750's-1790's, the birth of our nation. So far I've met Benjamin Franklin, and apparently they went to great lengths to ensure historical accuracy... even as far as Franklin's affinity for cougars (older women). I've only last night reached the frontier outside of Boston, but from what I hear you can hunt, trade, and do other cool things beyond just killing Red Coats (which is pretty awesome by itself!).
