You know how we all make jokes from time to time about trailers making obscene use of slow-motion for dramatic effect? Those sure are funny. This latest trailer forAssassin’s Creed Brotherhoodis making me wonder if maybe the joke is on us.

The last time I saw this many dragged-out pan shots was the opening credits ofReservoir Dogs. The trailer is a minute and fifty-two seconds, but I bet we could get it down to around forty if everything were run at normal speed.

That said, I’m still very interested in trying out this multiplayer for myself. I’m sick of shooting people (not very good at it either) and am invariably the jerk who just runs around knifing people in games. Clearly, this is right up my alley. Anybody else looking forward to getting a little up close and personal?
