The addiction is over, back to kickin ass

HAHA! Assassin's Creed is done.
Actually done on Sunday. But finally getting boring.
Still, the story was so good.
It's set in the future, where a scientist has been paid to abduct you and search you genetic memory for answers.
He straps you into the machine and you replay the genetic memory of your ancestor, who is an assasin working against both King Richard and Salahadin during the Crusade for Jerusalem.
The key point in this game in the environmental factor. It draws you into an ancient world so well. The sheer attention to detail is tremendous. Scaling buildings has never been so organic and life like. The formula of assassinating targets does get boring though. You need to climb towers to get a birds' eye view of the City (ancient Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem, subdivided into 3 districts per city), then you have to complete mini games such as pickpocketing, eavesdropping, and timed challenges. Then when you have enough information on your target, you strike. this whole process gets boring as there are 9 lives you have to claim, and the formula rarely ever changes.

It's the story that kept me going. And the killer battle scenes. Play this game before 2012
