Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood gameplay walkthrough readies us for more assassinating

Here we were, thinking -- foolishly, might we add -- that this holiday season might not be packed to the gills with games we're way excited for. And then Ubisoft dropped this walkthrough of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood from Gamescom, reminding us that there's one more game to be crazy excited about.

Did someone say "war horse?" Yep, the narrator of the walkthrough certainly did, and he's talking about that brutal looking dark horse seen around one and a half minutes in. In addition to all the other new stuff Ezio can do in Brotherhood, he's able to hop from his horse to others -- including the war horse, one of several new horse types. If that doesn't get your pulse going, you may have already been assassinated.
