My first taste of Assassin's Creed was only recently with my review of Revelations for the PS3.  Despite a bit of a learning curve in getting up to speed with the back story, I got hooked to the complex storyline that Assassin's Creed weaves.  With an all-new sequel and storyline expected next year,...

Ubisoft is convinced they can churn out a full Assasssin's Creed (AC) franchise game year after year, and keep up the quality and the interest in their product. I've had some time with the game - a good long time, actually, as I have committed to completing most quests and have been following this...
