Assassin's Creed Series




Developer: Ubisoft Montreal 

In recent years there have been many different games that have an annual release date. Of them the Assassin's Creed series has continued to amaze each year with each new chapter of the story told through the innovative use of historical facts and the realistic twisting of the 'grey areas' in history where we aren't exactly sure what happened.

The series currently includes: 
Assassin's Creed 
Assassin's Creed II 
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood 
Assassin's Creed: Revelations 
Assassin's Creed III 

These games are all available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
The series also includes a few games made for mobile systems such as the PlayStation Portable or the Nintendo DS, and some made specifically for both Android and Apple touch devices.

The series follows Desmond Miles, the modern descendant of the Assassin's Brotherhood's leader around the time of the third crusade, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. As the story begins you find he has been captured by the decedents of the Knights Templar, the antagonists of the Assassin's Brotherhood, which has gained power and influence in the modern world and are trying to gain complete control over the world using artifacts called Pieces of Eden, a direct reference to the Garden of Eden in the Bible.

This is an amazing series and though the first game is very slow to start, the time it will take to play and the lead in to the second game that begins a much faster pace is worth it. The series will allow you to see history from a point of view most people would never have considered. I personally will continue to follow this series and would recommend it to everyone.

  1. I have assassin's creed as well. It is a fun game , but I didn't know that some events were based on the grey parts of history. The game is good ,but it got kind of boring between brotherhood and revelation.
