All the reviews I have seen for Assassins Creed basically say that the game looks great, controls great but doesn't have a long shelf life. Once you beat it, you are done.

I say hold out for Mass Effect for next week.

No way.  For years I thought Boba Fett was one of the coolest characters in Star Wars because of his helmet.  Then when we found out what he looked like under the helmet I was let down because in my head I had my own version.  That's what makes Master Chief so cool for each of us.  Whether he is Asian, Hispanic, black or white; he is cool for our own purposes.

I don't need MC looking like Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp or  Jet Li.
