In an interview with IGN,
Crackdown 2 producer James Cope has confirmed:
You can definitely expect a demo to hit Live before the game is out but I can’t say when that will be… yet. The Crackdown demo was fantastic and we want to carry on in that form.

Ubisoft making the news once again, but this time with some Creed goodies.
 
 
It was announced that Assassin’s Creed 2, the increasingly popular game, will not be getting any downloadable content. Instead the game is going to have multiple ‘episodes’ where players will be able to continue playing as Ezio Auditor in all new and exciting challenges.

By all things holy upon this planet, the most is Assassin’s Creed II. I had thought that I wouldn’t be able to play this game for a long time, but lo & behold, I received it through Boomerang. At first my humble In-box displayed to me the usual letter, but telling me that it was Bayonetta being shipped to me. Not an hour later, I received another letter from Boomerang saying that the wrong e-mail had been sent to me & that I was in fact getting Assassin’s Creed II …
