The name of the video game is?"Assassin's Creed 3" after all. But it seems the word "assassin" in that title has been very well earned.

During the last month, gamers have chalked up an impressive number of kills?while playing the recently launched action-adventure game???a game that puts players in the boots?of a time travelling assassin and his ancestors as it history hops?through Revolutionary War-era?America.

Ubisoft announced Wednesday that since?"Assassin's Creed 3" launched one month ago, ?players have?committed more than 3 billion assassinations during the game's solo missions. And?players?have chalked up?an additional 250 million kills?during the course of more than 5 billion?multiplayer sessions.

Ubisoft released these stats as it announced?that "Assassin's Creed 3" is now the fastest-selling game in the company?s history, having sold more than 7 million copies?worldwide in the month since it launched.

For a look at a few more interesting stats, check out the graphic below (for a?bigger image go here). That's right, Assassin's Creed fans, you've spent more than 82 centuries worth of time?playing this game.
