A handout image of George Washington in 'Assassin's Creed III'


This undated handout image provided by Ubisoft shows a scene from the Ubisoft game: “the Tyranny of King Washington” . Wars and video games seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. But those games usually involve tanks and machine guns and Tet offensives; not horses, bayonets and Bunker Hill. Now, though, one of the biggest game releases of the upcoming holiday season is immersing players in the Revolutionary War, with key cameos from George Washington, Ben Franklin and other Founding Fathers. Assassin’s Creed III is due for release Tuesday, immersing players in Colonial America and the Revolutionary War. (AP Photo/Ubisoft)
