well I sat down the other day and thought to myself that i needed a new review scale, something that truly showed how i felt about a game. from a technical standpoint, i think the achievements of a developer should be recognized. such as a smooth well thought out gameplay mechanics and so on. but i also believe you can have a ton of fun with games that have some serious issues. so i decided my reviews would have 2 scales.

scale 1 will be known as the delicious scale. this is where i talk about how much fun i had with the game, was the single player enjoyable, did i enjoy the online, or perhaps i got bored and never came back to the game. so just like asking a person if they thought that cake (which apparently wasnt a lie) was delicious or not, i will tell you if ths game hit the spot for me or not.

scale 2 will be known as the gear box score. This is where i go into and nitpick he game for frame rate issues (which might be mentioned in the delicious scale if it hurts the game to the point it took away from my enjoyment of the game), graphical blunders, and so on. essentually this is the scale of how well the developers were able to make the game.

now to show you this amazing new scale system, i will review Assassins creed (took me a while)

This game has to be the biggest surprise for me all year. when i first saw this game i had mixed feelings on how well good the game was going to be, and unusual for my gaming needs...i had lots of fun. the learning curve was a little steep, and when i say learning curve i mean it took a while to adjust to the games kinda wonky mechanics such as running down the street blows my cover that im an assassin...but stabbing a dude in the middle of the crown and simply assuming a praying position keeps them even suspecting me.

guard 1: I think the monk looking guy with the knife on his back killed the man

guard 2: are you a moron?! look at him! hes praying, no man of god could do such a thing...did you see that guy running down that street half a mile away?! it was totally that guy!

so at the end of the day i enjoyed myself to almost no end, i give Assassin's creeds 9 half eaten babies out of 10!

but now seriously, this game has a few issues that never really happened enough to honestly ruin my fun...but i have never seen a game that has issues like this. i can be running, sitting, sneezing, even praying over a guards corpse and the game will freeze...to the point you have to reset your system to make it do anything. its a rather bad issue that i dont know why ubisoft cant seem to fix. another issue is the game not always loading...sometime ill just get stuck in the white room waiting for the map to load only to find out...its not going to. so once again my only option to to seemingly reset my console.

the gear box gets a 7/10
