Note: This review evaluates the Tyranny of King Washington DLC as a whole in light of the third episode, The Betrayal. For more detailed thoughts on the individual merits of the first and second episodes, look here and here .

New powers refresh the gameplay; High production values; Story eventually pays off

Overpriced; Doesn't do enough with the setting

To many Americans there is a mystical quality to the years of the American Revolution: the men and women who participated in the founding of America shed blood and tears as their lives were torn asunder in the name of something greater than themselves.

Gorgeous environments and representations of famous places and figures take the center stage here; The voice acting also deserves a nod: Assassin's Creed 3 features some of the best performances in a game in years, though the actor for Connor seems less than enthusiastic at times.

Despite wonderful visuals; Assassin's Creed 3 stutters; has graphical hiccups that affect gameplay; and has some of the worst anti-aliasing problems this side of the Playstation 2.

Despite being deeply flawed, 2007's Assassin's Creed was a damn fine example of the current console generation's potential, one that was achieved in the subsequent Ezio trilogy.

Another great game worthy of an epic series. If you weren't a fan before I'd still suggest at least renting it to see if the new ideas hold your attention. The story alone is worth the price of admission, even if the ending leaves much to be desired.

The Wii U's launch line-up included a number of triple-A ports previously released for other platforms, and chief among these titles was Ubisoft's highly ambitious sequel Assassin's Creed III.

Developer and publisher Ubisoft brought this generation of gaming one of the best franchises ever when it introduced players to the universe of Assassin's Creed back in 2007. Since then, the series has spawned 6 different titles and featured a handful of protagonists, and the story of the ongoing...

Connor is a difficult character to like in some respects, because he has little interest in the plight of the patriots except as it relates to the security of his own people.
