‘Assassin’s Creed 2′ DRM will hurt sales. Ubisoft will undoubtedly blame pirates.
The article says you can't even start the game without Internet, as you will be greeted by an error message. Making matters even worse, you are still kicked back to the main menu if the game loses connection to the "Ubisoft Master servers," which may not even be your fault.

DRM does not work.
DRM SUX and EA SUX

- SPORE was the most pirated game in 2008. (source)

Bullet time is so 2001
Games don't translate to the big screen well. The same normally applies in the opposite direction. I believe that this is just as entertaining as watching someone else play the game. While watching "lets play" vides is something I commonly do, it is because I lack the patience (or skill) to do so. In this case, I've played the game, and there was little replay value. This movie is a replay, with little value.
That `70s suck

I've been watching season eight of "That `70s Show".
It sucks.
Spoiler : no Eric Forman. Kelso is missing for 3/4ths of the season.
