Game Fodder: Video Game News and Reviews

Assassin's Creed Hits Stores

Have someone take away your internet and see how it feels. It's like a gigantic, never-ending titty-twister of darkness and despair. Fire and brimstone rained down upon my apartment for those awful days. And when the fine gentleman came to fix it, yes we restarted the router and yes we were sure it worked, he proceeded to give me the what's for about making sure your router is configured correctly... Little did he know, I brought in a cable signal tester from work and I knew exactly what the problem was.

Regardless, 10 dollar discount later, here I am.

Assassin's Creed.

Somewhere between all the Developer's Diaries and sweet trailers, you've got to be asking yourself 'is this game really all it makes itself out to be?' While I have yet to be lucky enough to take a test drive, reviews are already flooding the interwebbing that surrounds us, binds us and penetrates us (haha, yea); all of which have been raving. Averaging a current score of 9.5 (according to Gamestats.com), Assassin's Creed is proving to be nothing short of a wonderful experience.

For those of you that don't know what this one's about, here goes: you play as an assassin during the crusades, beaten down to nearly nothing at the game's onset. You must earn back your right to be a part of the group of Assassins again by finishing off the lives of 9 men that did, in fact, die in the exact year this game takes place. AC offers up 3 massive and historically accurate cities all joined by one sprawling kingdom for you to explore on horseback.

Enjoy a trailer and, after that, go score a copy. Although the GameStop by me claims to have copies in tomorrow and not today... those jerks.
