Earlier this week we reported to you on next week’s DLC coming to Assassin’s Creed 3. Season Pass holders were lucky enough to get their hands on the game’s first DLC yesterday, but Xbox 360 owners weren’t so lucky when installing The Hidden Secrets DLC caused various parts of the game’s save data to be erased or corrupted.

No way around it — abortion’s one of those topics which elicits some insanely heated debate.
