In December 1964, Che Guevara delivered a classic speech to the UN General Assembly in New York. The South American revolutionary effortlessly did what revolutionaries do best, inspiring, threatening and posturing, rising to his historic occasion with vehemence and dignity. It was his time and he took it neatly. During a withering diatribe focused almost exclusively on US foreign policy, Guevara said, "Cuba, distinguished delegates, a free and sovereign state with no chains binding it to anyone, with no foreign investments on its territory, with no proconsuls directing its policy, can speak with its head held high in this Assembly and can demonstrate the justice of the phrase by which it has been baptised: 'Free Territory of the Americas'."

So this is the week that the European Virtual Console finally gets its telegram from The Queen. One hundred games old! Well done you. Have a custard cream. Strange, then, that the week doesn't offer some kind of celebratory blow-out as we're getting just two new games, one of which is utter balls. But enough of my yakkin', let's strip off, plunge into the frothy VC bathwater and rummage around together for the soap of gaming greatness...

I call them Mysterio Moments, after that notorious mission in the Spider-Man 2 game where you had to scale the Statue of Liberty by swinging from hovering pods: moments where flaws that you'd previously tolerated suddenly combine and suck whatever fun remains out of the experience. And, when the game in question is based on blockbuster movies, that fun is usually already in short supply.

Did you know that Nintendo UK is moving house today? Dedicated bastards, this hasn't stopped them telling us what's on Virtual Console. You wouldn't catch us doing that. With half a day to move we'd have our books in a box and be down the Squirrel & Ratpaw for a half of Fosters shandy before you could say "Trevor's dropped the Steinway" [what in God's name is going on here? Shut up! -Ed].

One of the 2007's most anticipated games, Assassin's Creed thrusts you into the boots and four-fingered glove of a killer during the Third Crusade. Or is it? Ubisoft Montreal's figurehead for all things Assassin's is Jade Raymond, and she's not yet shedding firm light on the game's setting. Mysterious death screens and other details about main character Altair have led to all sorts of guessing. Comments about "genetic memory" upon player-death perhaps point to some sort of futuristic gene-reading technology, that absorbs recollections from captured genes, and Raymond's confirmed that Altair's no time-traveller. Still, the speculation pales next to the potential fun of hopping across rooftops in parkour-inspired free runs, evading pursuers and taking out your marks with a dagger poking out of your third knuckle. We sat down with Raymond at UbiDays in Paris recently, as you'll no doubt have seen on Eurogamer TV. What follows is the full interview transcript.

The year is 2001, and the game is Phantasy Star Online. To some, it's a vision of the future: sitting in the lounge, running around an online world blatting weird-looking aliens, and then tapping away on a keyboard to exchange quips with friends. To most though, it's a complete faff. You need to muck about with a modem (which sounded rubbish even in 2001), and you need to buy a Dreamcast keyboard. You need to want it, basically. Not enough people do.
