News Fuse item that got bumped
I wrote it, but a bigger story bumped it. Read it if you want. 

Want to know what's next in the world of Assassin's Creed? Ubisoft announced that its next game will be "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag." Now before you get excited that this will be the first punk rock Assassin's Creed game, Black Flag will actually be about pirates. Because pirates like black flags. The game will hit the 360, the PS3, the PC and the Wii U. The PS3 edition will have 60 more minutes of exclusive gameplay.
