Description: This is an exclusive PSP entry in the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise, which follows covert assassins at crucial junctions in history. This game bridges the story gaps between Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2, focusing again on Altair in a storyline set shortly after the events of the first game. Here, the bloodlines that tie these characters are drawn as Altair tracks the remaining Templars to the island of Cyprus.

Features:

• Dynamic Locomotion — Like the next-gen SKUs, Altair on the PSP reacts to the terrain fluidly, diving through holes and climbing ledges with only the creative application of the Free Run button.
• Tremendous Visuals — Altair and his environments are beautifully rendered to maximize the PSP’s visual capabilities.
• PS3 Connectivity — Collect Templar Coins and Treasures on the PSP, connect to your PS3, and share value across both SKUs. Additionally, as players unlock Health and Weapons upgrades in Assassin’s Creed 2 PS3, the same upgrade will be unlocked in Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP.

Description: The year is 2025. The optimism and harmony of the 2010s were completely eradicated by 2020. A global crisis loomed. Food shortages sparked riots, currencies plummeted, fuel reserves dwindled, and oil-producing nations began to ration what remained. It is a dark future. Governments earmarked money for humanitarian efforts, overseas security, and intelligence services which, over time, found its way the coffers of a small group of Private Military Companies. These three private armies (Valor, Raven, and S.V.E.R.) then began to recruit aggressively. Soldiers without a country, the contractors fight wars that never happened. This is the nature of the Shadow War.

A first-person, online-only shooter, MAG lets you experience battles with up to 256 real people across a global battlefield.

• Command Structure – Rise through the chain of command, earning the right to lead an eight-man squad, 32-man platoon, and even command a full 128-man army.
• Persistent Shadow War – Each battle victory or loss contributes to your PMCs world standing, moving them on the offensive or pulling them back to the defensive.
• Choose an army – Three distinct PMCs from which to choose from, each with their own storied history, personality, and style.
• Customization – Customize your character and begin to pursue a wide variety of combat specialties. Become an elite fighter or a general of an army.
