But like the man himself, Assassin's Creed is growing old – and getting paunchy with age. So it's the exact same Ezio underneath the new grey hair texture.
What's this assassin's secret to staying young? Well, his latest adventure Assassin's Creed: Revelations, available Tuesday for Xbox 360 (reviewed) and PlayStation 3, uses the same game engine as his first outing in 2009. At all of 52 years young, he still climbs up buildings and knifes people in the face just like he used to back when he was 17. Man, when I get old, I hope I age like Ezio Auditore.
