In an interview with IGN TV, Kristen Bell, the star of Veronica Mars, apparently let some major plot news slip about her work with Assassin's Creed.

"It's actually really interesting to me. It's sort of based on the research that's sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it's instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don't show it? And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is."

Intriguing. It makes sense. When I saw the game at E3 I noticed after the lead character died that the game jumped back to what looked like a futuristic operating theater. Did I forget to mention that? I'm such a tease. Brian Crecente
