It was named Best Action/Adventure Game at the Game Critics Awards — now you can download Assassin’s Creed straight to your PC with Vision GAMES on demand. For a fixed monthly price, you get unlimited access to your favourite games, with new titles added each month.

This month’s highlights:

Assassin’s Creed
Featuring stealth, action and platform gaming in a gorgeous world that feels wholly alive, Assassin’s Creed puts you in the sandals of a killer roaming the holy land. Quick as a cat and agile as a panther, you defy gravity (and morals) to dispatch your targets as silently as possible.

Kane & Lynch
In this gangster thriller from the makers of the Hitman series, an ex-mercenary teams up with a psychopathic killer to save his wife and daughter. Kane & Lynch is about huge cinematic gunfights: escaping from a prison van, a shoot-out in a night-club, a bank job… the 18 rating is there for a reason.

Civilization IV
It’s possibly the greatest turn-based game ever made, with multiple Game Of The Year awards under its belt. Cililization IV is far more than just an upgrade: strategy comes to life as never before in a beautifully detailed, living 3D world.

Sensible Soccer 2006
The Amiga classic returns for a new generation. Lightning fast matches, spectacular goals, ridiculous amounts of after-touch, players with gigantic heads and comedy names, and much more.

Exocubes
In a strange, unknown dimension, you need to manipulate magical cubes and blast the walls blocking your way. With two different modes of play and nearly 50 levels to choose from, a wide variety of challenges and hazards awaits you.

PC Games On Demand gives you unlimited access to your favourite games, from Atari Arcade Classics to Tomb Raider — all for a set monthly price. New games are added each month so you’ll never run out of excuses to exercise your gaming finger.

This month’s highlights:

ECHO: Secret of the Lost Cavern
It’s 15,000 BC. Humanity is fresh out of the water and our ancestors are just beginning to understand the basics of communicating with each other. They cut flint and make spears. That’s pretty much it. But all this is about to change. You’re going to discover something big.

I Love Puppies
Just like a good mother dog, teach your pups the lessons they need to learn with six training programs, eight great exercises and eight fun puppy games! Choose your favourite puppy from the litter and play 22 different fun adventure, puzzle and action games with your very own puppy.

Hitman: Blood Money
The fourth outing for Agent 47, the bald, barcoded clone. This game focuses on the stealthy approach, with your success dependent on the people who’ve seen you make your kills or recognised your face. In Blood Money you’ve got more choice than ever before on how to make a hit.

Cake Mania 2
Jill is back to bake more cakes and make more cash. But in Cake Mania 2, even the queen of cooking needs some help. Will you be up to helping Jill maximise her baking, topping and decorating skills to deliver all the cakes that the hungry punters demand?

Worms 4: Mayhem
Over ten years ago Worms hit hard on the original Commodore Amiga: a defiantly 2D one-on-one game that delivered silly weapons, high-pitched voices — and worms blowing other worms to bits. The latest version is polished to a perfect 3D shine.

This month’s highlights:

Lost: The Video Game
Plunge into the heart of the action from the TV series. You’re lying on a jungle floor, your head and chest in pain. Screams in the distance. You begin to remember… you were on a plane bound for Sydney. But everything else is a blur. Seek out the answers – and find a way home.

Championship Manager 2008
