The current popularity of the Assassin's Creed franchise stands as one of the biggest success stories of this current console generation; what originally began as a conceptually promising but critically panned title soon rose to both quality and popularity with its subsequent sequels and spin-offs.

Welcome to our latest retrospective review, where we look back at 2011 hits and provide detailed info for those who may have missed some of last years biggest titles. Assassin's Creed: Revelations is the third and final chapter of the Ezio Auditore saga. It also neatly wraps up the tale of Altaïr.

When it comes to the crunch, what worked before works here, while what's new does seem to leave a lot to be desired. It's clear that we're headed towards Assassin's Creed 3, but after three consecutive years of titles, maybe what's really needed is a year or two away from the Animus in order to...
