Review: Assassin’s Creed
November is always a very exciting time of year in the gaming calender. Mostly because every man and is bloody dog releases their game in November in an attempt to garner a few extra sales thanks to Christmas and the January sales. This year being no different of course, we’ve had the likes “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2”, “Left 4 Dead 2” and “Assassin’s Creed 2” have all come out within a week or two of each other, meaning that us nerds have become bankrupt just in time to start our Christmas shopping. I’ll admit it, I’ve got them all. “Left 4 Dead 2”, “Dragon Age: Origins” (although I did trade it back in on the account that the Xbox 360 version was rubbish), “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” and most strangely “Assassin’s Creed 2”. Why most strangely you ask? Because to be honest at the time I wasn’t very into the whole “Assassin’s Creed” type thing, I simply went out on a whim and bought it…and am I ever glad I did? “Assassin’s Creed 2” for me is the best of the November bunch and quite possibly the best game I’ve played all year.
However this isn’t a review about “Assassin’s Creed 2”, this is a review about it’s predecessor so lets get on with the review!
