Assassin's Creed III (Xbox 360)
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.
