If you have not been living under the rock for the past few months, you should have heard about the new upcoming game from Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed. Here’s a little background of the game from Wikipedia;
Assassin’s Creed is a video game being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is scheduled to be released in November.The game takes place during the Third Crusade, in the year 1191. The player assumes the role of Altaïr, a member of the Hashshashin sect (the original “assassins”), whose objective is to slay the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades. As the player finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities: Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus.
The song
When I saw the trailer for the first time, I knew that I had to have that song on my phone and iPod. After a bit of searching, I figured that the theme song is Lonely Souls by Unkle. I extracted the theme from the trailer and lowered the bit rate. You can download the ringtone for FREE here.

Do you remember the Street Fighter series back in the days? Capcom has announced that an updated version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo will be coming soon to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade service later in the year. The game, to be called Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (SFHD), will have fully redrawn artwork, including HD sprites 4.5x the original size, done by artists from UDON.
Capcom have finally posted a couple of screens for SFHD over at the game’s developer blog. It’s a work in progress, but it’s looking real good nevertheless.
High Definition
In case you’re wondering why everyone is into HD at the moment, here’s the original non HD version of the game.

Streamyx
While I have only tested this with my ISP, Telekom’s Streamyx, this method works pretty much everywhere. I have entered the configuration below into my router and voila, my NAT’s open.
Port Forwarding
Xbox Live! requires the following ports to be forwarded in order to operate correctly:
If you have no idea on port forwarding, you can check out PortForward.com. There are step by step instructions for tons of routers, with step by step instructions on how to enable port forwarding.
Too Lazy?
If you’re too lazy to do all the above, just add set your Xbox 360’s IP as the DMZ and you’re done. :)
