Winner of over 300 awards. Recipient of over 200 perfect scores. A universe that has expanded beyond games to comics, novels, apparel, collectibles, action figures and more.

BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, today unveiled the Mass Effect Trilogy, a compilation of all three award-winning Mass Effect games in one box.

It must be trilogy announcement day because following up on EA’s Mass Effect Trilogy announcement just a few moments ago comes Ubisoft’s reveal of the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy.
Unlike Mass Effect Trilogy, Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy is coming only to the PS3, with Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, along with the DLC, on a single Blu-ray Disc for $39.99.
Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy is scheduled for a November 13th release.
Read on for the announcement.
The charismatic Ezio Auditore de Firenze makes one final return to give gamers an opportunity to revisit the classic Assassin’s Creed trilogy. Launching exclusively for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system on November 13, 2012, for $39.99, the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy features Assassin’s Creed II with downloadable content, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, all on one Blu-ray disc.
The Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy gives gamers an opportunity to venture into the life of Ezio Auditore de Firenze – an Assassin driven by vengeance. Spanning three different periods of his life, the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy will see Ezio rise from an apprentice Assassin to building a brotherhood that will aide his war against the Templars and finally his journey to reveal the truth of the Assassin order. The multiplayer experiences for both Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelations will be included in this bundle.
The newest entry in the series, Assassin’s Creed III, will launch on October 30. Gamers who pick up Assassin’s Creed III on the PlayStation 3 will receive four exclusive single player missions.
Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution in the late 18th century, Assassin’s Creed III introduces a new hero, Ratonhnhaké:ton, of Native American and English heritage. Adopting the name Connor, he becomes the new voice for justice in the ancient war between the Assassins and Templars. Gamers become an Assassin in the war for liberty against ruthless tyranny in the most stylized and fluid combat experiences in the franchise to date.

I got to level 80 pretty quickly and pretty much got through everything really quick and now I have nothing to do so I have nothing to play.
YES! YES! YES! I've only played the Dragon Age series, staying away from this franchise because of stuff like this lol. FINALLY. Jennifer Hale and aliens and sex and lgbt and Shohreh Aghdashloo and Freddie Prinze Jr and all my feels...
-googles-
omg they voiced WHO?!?
anyway ignore the ME3 haters, they're just bitter BioWare cared more about doing the story justice than about servicing entitled fans tbh
ilu. The games are so much fun aren't they?
i have like 9 playthroughs saved right before that b/c i can't bring myself to finish them
I thought the gameplay was fantastic. The AI is a lot smarter and better at flanking. The plot (aside from the begging the rest of the galaxy to care about Earth when they have their own shit to care about) was solid, especially the interaction with your team mates. Just the opening sequence on Earth, fabulous. Overall I had fun playing it.
The downside the ending blows. Also to get access to certain endings you either have to play multi player or do some boring repetitive game on your phone to increase your galactic readiness high enough.
I may just forsake everything else for Christmas or my Birthday just to play it and a bundled Assassin's Creed :D.
meTHE BORGIAS IN ASSASSIN'S CREED: BROTHERHOOD.I'm apathetic about the ME3 ending (I'm more of a Bethesda person anyway), but I just happen to love this macro.
no more money bioware! you're dead to me!
