assassins creed

i started by playing the first one of the series Assassins Creed
Within this game you assume the role of two characters but through the mind of one person Desmon Miles
story is all together the main character is desmond you play through him or rather his memories in order to aid an order know only as absturgo. Later in the game you find yourself as a character know as Altair leader of a group of assassins but you take this role through a machine called the animus( it allows a user to access ancestral memories through segments in the dna). As you play between the two characters you find yourself in a massive war that has been going on for centuries and the battle rages between Templars(absturgo) and the Assassins(Miles/Altair)

The game follow a very vast land through out ancient history in the search of an object known as apple of eden
the gameplay is very strong and allows the user to have free roam capabilities but with slight restrictions as desmond you are limited to maybe 3 rooms but as altair you can go very far from where you start.
it was amazing to see the structure within the game matching most of the unique structures today. Even more so you will yourself amongst many historical references throughout the game leonardo davinci is on of the most notable.
The battle system is very creative you do have a variety of weapon on hand from a hidden blade to a sword or throwing knives. Of course for those whom like the bash-em style, fist fighting has also been implemented as well.
