So, apparently to enjoy the game... I SHOULDN'T follow the ASSASSIN'S CREED

I bought Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect this week. I was looking forward to these games TERRIBLY since the concept of a hitman during the times of the crusades just sounded awesome and Bioware hasn't made a game that I haven't liked yet.

I was talking to fellow career pencil user Skottie Young about AC since he bought it for his shiny new (and silent!) PS3 and we've both had different experiences with the game so far.

The game is BEAUTIFUL! I honestly haven't had a visual experience in a game like this one and the story seems really interesting, but the controls and gameplay were disappointingly clunky and repetitive. This made me sad. I went to last night's Lead Poets Society meeting with a bad mood towards the game and had declared it a failure. But maybe I wasn't giving it a fair shot? Obviously there's got to be something else to it if I keep turning it on just to LOOK at the world you run around in right? Oddly enough, as soon as I got home I looked online to see if there was anything I was missing in the game and I was kind of stunned that everything I read said you should play it the opposite of how they tell you to IN THE GAME. I played through one mission and had a LOT of fun. So now I'm back into it and will hopefully finish before the next project drops in my lap.

Here's the Altair... the main character from Assassin's Creed.
