Joining the Brotherhood

After a long hiatus for being around here... I am back with some info regarding games. I would like to talk about my most recent acquisition. ASSASSIN'S CREED: Brotherhood.

Let's go to the past and remember about the first game ASSASSIN'S CREED. When it was still in previews, I realized it was going to be a gorgeous game so I was expecting an epic game. When I finally got it, I was satisfied with the outcome but I felt the game too repetitive and wasted. By wasted, I mean that it has a great potential to be one of the best games of that year. It was a good game, but due its potential I had to realize it wasn't as good as it could've been.

Anyway, I feel the first game gave us a good history and a great adventure. I got attached with Altair as a great assassin, and after the ending I was just hoping for the sequel: ACII

This was one of the best games I've ever played. The combination of Sandbox/Stealth was as I expected it to be in the previous game. PLus the story, graphics and gameplay imprved) Ezio Auditore is a remarkable character and you actually learn to like him. The story takes a Science Fiction turn and left you expecting for something else at ACIII, but before, they had to give Ezio a better role and BROTHERHOOD came along.

This game is a very interesting one. The improvements made on it makes it more than a "big expansion". I certainly think that the elements for searching products and treasures is good, along with the possibility to train your own assassins. It is not enough to call this game a masterpiece but it is enough to consider that this franchise still has a lot of potential.

I consider this game among the best of the year so far. It is a strong candidate for me to get the GOTY 2010 award. I will be giving more detail about the other four candidates during december, but so far, this game is taking a lot of my time and I can certainly can't wait to finish it and see how this story goes on... and let's see if such ending can leave me waiting for ACIII :)

Have a great DAY
