As a medieval assassin you travel from city to city investigating a complex plot by eavesdropping on conversations and pick pocketing documents before ultimately finding your local target and dispatching them. There are two main elements to game play: free running and fighting. Free running is the art of getting from A to B via the most direct route; over roof tops. The environment makes this more engaging as cities have a complex and realistic design but there isn't a great deal of skill involved, if you just hold down all the action buttons and point forward you generally get though. Fighting is done with any one of four weapons ...  Read the complete review

When the game was first released, it received an incredible amount of hype. Was this hype well-placed with Assassin's Creed? Well... True, it is unlike any other game I have seen before. It is new and exciting, and brings a whole new gaming experience to the table. However, it does have its down-sides. When I bought Assassin's Creed, I eagerly installed it and began to play. The beginning was rather puzzling, as you start off as a scruffy-looking man in jeans and a hoody in a science lab. After a fair bit of scientists rambling on about stuff we don't really care to understand, you get to the good stuff... Assassinating! Next, you're in a ...  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
