ASSASSINO!!!!

Lately I've had an obsession with a game called Assassin's Creed. I hope you people have heard of it, but perhaps don't know what it's about. The entire series is based upon an ongoing battle between two factions: the Templar Order and the Brotherhood of Assassins. Now the Templar are the main antagonists who want nothing but power and greed, or are doing things for the right reasons but going about everything completely wrong. The Brotherhood are an entire order dedicated to stopping the Templar from achieving their goals through assassination of their leaders and any other necessary casualties to carry out their mission. But the way they set it up is a little different than most storylines. Most games would have you start just playing as a character throughout. However, in the series, you play as one character named Desmond Miles, but you relive the memories of his ancestors through a machine called the Animus. In the first one, you relive the life of Altair in tenth and eleventh century Spain. In the following three games, you relive the memories of Renaissance era Ezio Auditore da Firenze (or Florence). I really like how this was set up because it essentially adds another dimension to the game and storyline. If you like stealth games and good plot-twisting storylines, definitely check this game out.
