OXCGN’s Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Single Player Review

The Liberation of Roma Has Begun…

This console generation has seen a good amount (but not nearly as much as last gen) of new intellectual properties. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest masterstrokes of the last generation (at least for the beginning of the series) was Prince of Persia.

I vividly recall friends conversing with me about it right when the first game, The Sands of Time, came out. Bear in mind, this was in 2003.

The internet was still getting popular in the Southern United States (broadband wasn’t readily available here until late 2006, and wasn’t pushed until late 2007), and the internet in general was nowhere near the point of rivaling print media as it does now.

More of the Brotherhood . . . .

And while you’re at it, make sure you check this great article out as well on the future of Assassin’s Creed the series.

Assassin’s Creed is perhaps one of the most innovative and expanding franchise to come out of Ubisoft’s studios in the last several years.

We are now approaching yet another iteration of the series, one that will be the first to introduce Multiplayer aspects to the franchise.

Some say this is a good thing, some not-so good, but the actual viability of it will be determined by those that get the chance to test out the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer Beta that is only available through pre-ordering the game, or via access to some limited free Beta Keys.

OXCGN’S Assassin’s Creed 2 Review

Posted on 7 December, 2009 by AXiDER

Includes 360 and PS3 version comparison

Assassin’s Creed II has been out for over two weeks now. From speaking to numerous gamers, many people are still sitting on the fence unsure of whether Ubisoft Montreal’s sequel is really worth buying after the original was initially flooded with positive reviews until a slightly sour aftertaste sunk in.

This article is for anyone in that position. You can take the lateness of this review as a good thing for several reasons, and find out why Ezio’s adventure is a perfect example of how a sequel should be done. A brief comparison of the 360 and PS3 versions is also provided at the end of the article to help multiplatform owners get the best version.

To get a better idea of the context surrounding Assassin’s Creed II, let’s jump back to Christmas 2007. Assassin’s Creed was released in a flurry of hype and excitement that was born from the incredible graphics displayed in trailers and the promise of an open world to freely run and leap about.

When and where will Assassin’s Creed 3 take place?  In Part 1 I outlined four possible options and now with Part 2 we will look at several more.

With so many clues revealed through codex, ‘subject 16′ revelations, symbols on walls, Pieced of Eden locations, and 6 statues in the Tuscan villa, Ubisoft could be directing us to the next instalment, or just throwing around a lot of food for conjecture.

UPDATE 7/3/12: Below is my suggestion in 2009 of the Seven Years War (French-Indian War) which actually is when Assassin’s Creed III begins.  I explain there why it is a good starting point for the American Revolution.
