Once in a great while a game comes around that completely changes your ideas of what a game can be. A truly innovative game with ideas you have never thought of.
I have always been a fan of stealth action games like Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu, you know the games which involve one character who is an unbelievable threat if you're undetected but can die easily with one thrust of a sword or one gun shot to the body. Yesterday a game by the name of Assassin's Creed arrived at my door. I put the game disc in my 360 and fired it up. Just like that I was in shock and awe at this title; A true next-generation gaming experience. The completely organic feel of the controls and realistic AI of the world make this game astounding. The crowd reacts, guards chase you, and people are being attacked in the streets, beggars asking you for a bit of coin. That is what is so real about it, when you blend in with a crowd you're really part of that crowd. You adapt and use your surrounds to plot a course to your target where you'll find the perfect time to strike. This game is a home run in my book and will have me astounded for months to come. Please check out my review of the game for further details and don't worry there are no spoilers in it. You can read it by clicking HERE
