I mentioned it in the last line!
(And no, my edit was not to stick in the Spore reference :) )
I didn't talk a whole lot about it since that really, really long google video gameplay video was posted not *too* long ago, so I figured there was not a whole lot more to say on the matter.
I will start off this next section of my post by saying that I am a Prince of Persia: Sands of Time / Warrior Within / The Two Thrones fanboy. Okay, now that that is out of the way... How sweet does Assassin's Creed look? And it's PS3-exclusive. Argh. Why are they trying to make my 360 vs. PS3 decision so hard?
The official site has the full, continuous trailer (I am a big fan of the assassin closing the the eyes of his mark after he kills him before taking off - I love small stuff like that) and here is a good preview.
Last year's E3 was mostly "hey look at the next-gen HD stuff wheeeeee!". This year seems to have a lot of very interesting and innovative titles being shown off. I like it.
I also meant to mention Rainbow Six Vegas in my original post, but neglected to. The teaser is interesting enough, but an individual on another forum I read who attended E3 said that at the perception of bullets zinging around you at the Rainbow Six Vegas demo was just amazing. Plus the graphics look extra tight.
For a long time I thought Ubisoft was a pretty substandard developer (more Rayman games? who cares?) but with the PoP series and a couple Splinter Cell games behind them, and Assassin's Creed / Rainbow Six Vegas / Splinter Cell Double Agent on the horizon, they practically have a license to print money.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
