I'm getting both.  Although I might wait for GoW just since I already have a big backlog.  I'll get it eventually at least.

For those who haven't played god of war before,

You are getting 2 awesome games better than most current gen games for 40$.

If I did live in the US, I would pick up both. However, seeing as I don't, I've preordered GoW-C for import and Assassin's Creed 2 is released on the 19th. Now I'll just have to wait and see which one comes first

I'm guessing you mean North American because Canada and Mexico are countries too, in fact Canada is larger than the USA.

Anyhoo, I won't buy either but I'll most likely rent AC2. I'm not a fan of button mashing hack & slash games so I may avoid GoW collection.

With a fraction of the population........

Both. But if you can only get one, then pick up Assassins Creed 2.

I have the GOW Collection pre-ordered. Most likely won't have time for AC 2.

Assasin's Creed II. Duh.

I was going to buy a game on the 17th, I would choose Assassin's Creed 2. I already own God of War 1 and 2 so there's no point of buying the collection.
