At one time or another, each of us has thought to himself "I ought to be in charge." We have all had that moment where we think that we should be making all the decisions, running roughshod over democracy and all existing power structures. I want you to think about that moment.

Swimming around a pier; climbing a ship; and using a rope dart to hang a target from a yardarm

As I walk past two men on a bench, I get notified that I have my first pursuer; The whisper noise starts just as one of them gets up and stabs me for 700 points

Being called an Assassins Creed Fan is appropriate for me as my love for the series has gradually increased over time, as has my Assassin's Creed paraphernalia collection that now takes up an entire shelf in my home. Assassin's Creed III continues the story of the Assassins vs.

Blast Factor: When you break it down into individual parts, Assassin's Creed 3 is a massive game. The amount of things that can be done and the scope of the game as a whole is staggering to comprehend. It is perhaps this that caused many of the flaws that are present.

Assassin's Creed II was such a huge leap in quality over the original game, not only bringing some much needed variation to the series, but also refining just about every area of the previous game that mattered, as well as introducing some fresh mechanics that further bolstered the experience.

Assassin's Creed III is a beast. Arguably the single most ambitious title in Ubisoft development history, this third and presumably final chapter in current gen history is so colossal in fact, that the hours you'll need to invest in it sail comfortably into double digit territory before you barely...

You ever stop reading a book or watching a movie because you don't want it to end? Me either. That's another example of how books and movies aren't like videogames.

Despite their fluctuating quality, the games in the Assassin's Creed series remain intriguing for their unique sci-fi framing device of a modern-day protagonist reliving the lives of his ancestors via Matrix -like technology.

This creed gives an already great series more cred.

Fully realised colonial era America to explore; interesting storyline; lots to do; improvements to free running and combat from past titles; naval combat is awesome; superb graphics and presentation

Some significant pacing issues; nearly unacceptable level of bugs and glitches; side quests don't carry much gameplay weight; control scheme causes some frustration; some missing features that were in past titles; multiplayer is fun but feels like an afterthought

Just a year after the last iteration, how can Assassin's Creed 3 justify being the next numbered game in the series? Pushing through a crowd, the hidden blade aching to be released, the original Assassin's Creed tapped into our excitement with taking an historic journey through real world 12 th...

It's great gaming tweaked to near perfection; Fantastic storytelling, and absorbing gameplay

The occasional tendency to restrict your play on the basis of telling a better story

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.
