Assassin's Creed (PC)

1. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent 2. Hide in plain sight 3. Do not compromise the brotherhood - The Assassin's Creed Freerunning, Parkour, call it what you will - it has always fascinated me. People running up walls, leaping fearlessly from building to building, traversing a city on foot with not an obstacle that cannot be overcome? Incredible. Beautiful even. I'd love to be able to freerun. But one thing puts me off: the fear of an unpleasant concrete-related death. This is half of the reason why Assassin's Creed is so wonderful - half the game is the skill of learning to freerun using your keyboard and ...  Read the complete review

I am not really a guy that plays games on computer, due to my love of the playstation and their excellent games. However after being given this game as a gift, I was eager to try it out. Of course I stumbled upon a problem that my laptop was not powerful enough to buy it, but I was in the process of buying a new computer anyway. Once my powerful system was bought I popped this CD in and the fun started. I will come to the specs needed later. Initially once you start the game you have a short tutorial mode which just teaches you the basic controls. Like how to wield your knife and walk through a herd of innocent people without making them drop whatever they are ...  Read the complete review

Assassin's Creed: Directors Cut for PC released a few months after the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The game is about an assassin named Altair who is reduced in rank in the assassin's guild for breaking the three tenants. He then is sent on a quest to slay several leaders who are perpetuating the Third crusades which is tearing the land apart. The games top features, besides being a but-kicking assassin, is the huge open ended world. Much of the time Altair is climbing buildings, church towers and cliffs to peer down on his unsuspecting victims. This offers the player the chance to climb anything and everything he/she can. The graphics are one of ...  Read the complete review

Assassin's creed is allot like the Prince of Persia series. It is very beautiful, loaded with cinematic highlights and the game is almost all environmental puzzles. Instead of telling you about the gameplay (which would be a better review on game review site) I will tell you what I liked about it. The graphics are mind blowing. You really can see extreme detail in everything. If you own a monster gaming rig, this is a MUST buy for visuals. You can explore five regions in ancient middle east including Jerusalem and the Kingdom where you ride on horseback. You can interact with people and of course climb buildings. So far I don't ...  Read the complete review

Assassin's Creed may have fancy graphics but the repetitive gameplay makes for a very mediocre game. You play as Desmond Miles a man who has been kidnapped by a company known only as Abstergo Industries to be used as a test subject for a device which has the ability to recall ancestral memories (The Animus). While plugged into the device you have the ability to see through the eyes of your ancestor Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad an assassin who belonged to a clan of assassin's during The Third Crusade. The gameplay is really quite tedious. Apart from the actual assassinations which are fairly fun, the game mainly requires you to do a selection of missions ...  Read the complete review
