While PC gamers wait patiently for Ubisoft to release the promised PC port of Assassin's Creed 2 (it's supposed to be coming in the first quarter of 2010) they can now check out a well produced fan-made animated film that serves as a prequel to the first game in the action game series.

The film is titled Initiation and is made by TheDuoGroup. While the animations are a little primitive we do think that the music and voice acting is solid. The short shows a rite of passage that is taken by Altair before he becomes one of the game's brotherhood of assassins.
