The Assassin’s Creed II Crossword Puzzle Winners!

Assassin’s Creed II recently picked up the Best Action Adventure Game accolade in Spike TV’s Video Game Awards, and a week ago, we gave you the chance of winning a copy of it on the console of your choice. You were tasked with solving our crossword puzzle and then decoding the anagram that was formed by specially marked letters on the puzzle. The answer we were looking for was LINEAGE, which not only deals with genealogy, but is conveniently the name of the 3-part story that serves as a prequel to Assassin’s Creed II.

The first PS3 entry arrived within 21 minutes of the competition being posted, with the Xbox 360 entry arriving but a minute later. For their quick work these lads get an extra two entries into our draw. We had another good turn out so a big thanks to all that entered but the most important mystery is yet to be solved – who snagged the prizes? Could you be one of the winners? Well hit the jump to find out.

Congratulations to our two winners:

• Richard English who walks away with the PS3 version of Assassin’s Creed II and a funky white hoodie tee.
• Raglin Anthony who snags the Xbox 360 version of Assassin’s Creed II with a class black tee.

Your prizes will be posted to you shortly. Hard luck to the other entrants, but we’ll be having more competitions soon and you’ll have more chances to win goodies at Onelargeprawn in 2010.

A big thanks to Rene at Ubisoft for providing the competition prizes.
