For those who have already picked up their own copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it's clear that Ubisoft is not afraid of venturing into serious political waters. The previous games in the series have had quite a lot to say about the Crusades, religious division, capitalism, meritocracy in church hierarchy; all topics that most video game studios would shy away from. Now Brotherhood's lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem has revealed that while his writing is at times an injection of humor or satire into dry historical exposition, there is no shortage of criticism when it comes to legislation passed under both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. Yohalem spoke to Kotaku at length about his motivations for political satire, as well as how he sees the narrative of Brotherhood as analogous to many issues in today's political arena, and a means to deliver a better message.
