"We'll have an Assassin's Creed review with you shortly but, in the meantime, here are six new screenshots from the game.

Due out Friday on Xbox 360 and PS3, if you've been living in a cupboard, Assassin's Creed follows the story of Altair, a medieval assassin on operations at the time of the Third Crusade and the war in the Holy Land.

Look out for the review later this week."
