All I can do for this is share my science knowledge with you. Not from Wikipedia, but from good ol' high school first year university, couple-hundred-dollar textbooks, and professors. There are so many reasons that this info is SOME OF THE REAL.
 
"Isotopes" of "Hydrogen" are used in nuclear fusion, namely deuterium (one proton and one neutron in the nucleus) and tritium (one proton and two neutrons). Each of the isotopes, as well as just plain old one-proton Hydrogen has one electron in the "1s" orbital. In nuclear fusion, you basically throw two Hydrogen isotopes at each other hard enough that the nuclei fuse into a Helium atom, and release a metric shit-ton of energy in the process.
 
The video on gknova6.com definitely shows a nuclear fission chain reaction, probably a Uranium-236 or something nucleus being split by a neutron, producing more neutrons to go off and split the resulting atomic nuclei. This is the type of reaction used in nuclear bombs, which are basically an uncontrolled, runaway fission chain reaction. In some bomb designs there is both fusion and fission used for the destructive energy, for example, fusion being used to produce the neutrons required for fusion. In most cases, the fission is responsible for the destructive force of the bomb.
 
So basically, I'm jumping on the Fallout bandwagon. But seeing as it's been announced and all, and Portal 2 already had its little ARG thing, this might be something totally new. Remember that super-nice-looking trailer with that guy in non-Master-Chief-but-kinda-close-minus-the-helmet white armor, and everything's all gray and washed out, and dude has a gun? Maybe it's that. I dunno. Brink? Was there a nuclear war in Brink?

Remember "Bionic Commando?"
 
"FEAR THREE" is still what everybody's gonna call this game. That sounds OK. But as Ryan said, "Bionic Commando" is "a fucking retarded-ass name" for a game.

Right now, it's Midnight Brown by a landslide. I posted this elsewhere as well, but BAM!
 

Alright, here's my take:
 
I finished the story of the game, then watched the "The Truth" video on youtube (though it didn't contain the weird "black shapes floating around" things where subject 16 talks to you directly, which sucked). As I understand it, there are no aliens. There was the first human civilization who were hella advanced and agile and ran around naked with glowing glyphs all over them. Sounds like the life, right? The binary code at the end of the sequence spells "EDEN", which suggests that advanced-looking city that the aforementioned naked people ran around in was Eden, or the first civilization's main city or something. It looked like they were forging these "pieces of Eden", one of which was stolen by Adam and Eve. This action seems to have triggered a war between this advanced, first human civilization, and the humans. The part that confuses me is why they are seemingly 2 separate races... 
 
Somebody suggested this advanced race created pieces of Eden to control our race (plain-old humans). There was a war between the races, but since there were more lame-ass humans than naked-and-glowy "gods", the humans won the war. Something tells me that the assassins, being the quick little tigers that they are, are descendants of this more physically able race, perhaps a product of "gods" gettin' their mack on with humans in the period after the civilization was destroyed by some crazy-ass magnetic-pole-shifting-solar-flaring-pseudoscience madness. Maybe. That would mean that all of humanity did NOT descend from Adam and Eve, and that Adam and Eve were knocked down to lame-ass human status for stealing that piece of Eden, then gave rise to most of modern-day humanity. The assassins would then be the product of the quasi-inter-species sex between "gods" and humans. They don't have the glowy lines on their body, though, and don't run around naked, so they're not quite as awesome as their First Civilization ancestors, but hey. Altair's still my man.
 
Now that Ezio's part is played - the First Civilization lady's message was relayed to Desmond - it is Desmond and the rest of the assassins' job to do whatever the fuck they have to do to stop the possible oncoming cataclysm. I'm guessing they'll find out exactly what they have to do during AC3.
 
And I also hope, based on Altair's last diary on the Codex pages, that he did take that last look at the Apple of Eden and somehow gain immortality. And meets Desmond outside a club, stepping out of a Ferrari Enzo limousine surrounded by other assassins, at least 50% of which are incredibly good-looking women. We want gender equality, here, folks. *sigh* I know that won't happen, but a man can dream.

I came real close to crying at the first assassination (the merchant) in Assassin's Creed.
