Published January 3rd 2012. Written by Nickolai Niver. If I were to be completely honest with my opinion of the Assassin’s Creed series, I’d say that I think it’s about as serious a series as Lego Star Wars. Sure it’s fun and sells like hot cakes, but...

Ezio Auditoré da Firenze – it’s a name that veterans of the Assassin’s Creed series should be familiar with. Revelations will be the third time players have assumed control of the legendary 16th century Italian assassin, and it also looks set to be the...

The Assassin’s Creed games always look like they might be quite enjoyable, all backstabbing and historical intrigue, like a Dan Brown novel for the hard of thinking. In reality though, despite the lush settings, dramatic music and variety of hooded ga...

Pushing out Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood just a year after Assassin’s Creed 2 was something of a feat for Ubisoft. What’s more, a game that many of us expected to be a glorified mission pack turned out to be not just an excellent chapter in the Assas...

Core gameplay is growing stale, Some new features unnecessary or annoying, Minor technical issues...
After the double-whammy of Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is a slight disappointment. It still ends Ezio’s portion of the saga with a bang, but the core gameplay is growing stale and it’s not lifted by a selection of...

While last year's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood expanded fantastically upon the formula of Assassin's Creed II, it notably dropped the ball in regards to story. At the time, it felt very much like a middle chapter; one that would pave the way for anoth...
Constantinople makes for another entertaining open-world historical playground and multiplayer is a strategic blast that's bigger and better than before, but the campaign is a slow-burning grind that doesn't provide the twists or closure promised...

As we review Assassin's Creed: Revelations, we can't help but feel a little teary eyed about the prospect of this being our hooded friend's final adventure. It’s been a long, hard road for Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Over the last 50 years, he’s had his...
Beautiful sandpit, Hook blade, Mind altering tech...
Nonsense plot...
The large portion of the game involving Ezio and Altair is absolutely ace; the sections involving the latter are a bit brief and bit too scripted, but overall they do the job. The parts set in the future, where Desmond has to navigate the inside of th...

Those familiar with the Assassin's Creed series will know that it is a curious blend of science fiction and historical intrigue. The basic idea is that in the present day, a chap named Desmond is popped into a machine that allows him to relive the memo...
Large, open worlds to explore; gorgeous visuals; multiplayer allows for character development...
Rather convoluted story; gameplay will feel stale for veterans; new gameplay elements aren't very successful...
A fun romp for newcomers, but old-hands will have seen it all before...

We're not the world's biggest fans on the Assassins' Creed series. On paper, you'd think we would be – a historical action drama about assassins, templars and global conspiracy theories should be like crack. But, beyond our initial excitement at the first...

The end of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood left gamers with a cliffhanger they undoubtedly wanted to see resolved, and one year later, it was. Assassin's Creed Revelations continues the story of Desmond Miles after his collapse from exposure to the Apple of...
Are the lessons from the Assassins of old worth learning, or are some things best left unrevealed? In my opinion, the former. Assassin's Creed Revelations is a very well made game with many outstanding qualities, including a great story and solid gameplay...

The latest game in the Assassin's Creed series – Revelations – is here. Featuring all three major characters from the earlier games of the series – Ezio, Altair and Desmond. However, does it better its predecessors or does it fall flat? As well, as it is...

Well somebody at Ubisoft’s been watching Inception. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations begins with chronically plank-faced protagonist Desmond washing up on a sad-looking desert island. He’s told, by a digital ghost, that this is the default setup of the d...

Even the greatest heroes can't live forever. And so it goes for Ezio Auditore di Firenze, who finally steps aside to make room for new champions in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. This is another quality entry in a quality series, and it unleashes you i...
New movement options keep the platforming joyful, Brotherhood recruitment has been nicely fleshed out, Gorgeous, vibrant world with a lot to do, Fantastic soundtrack, Emotionally fulfilling ending.
Tower defense isn't fun, Desmond sections aren't fun, Disappointing main story.

I write this review amidst news from Ubisoft that it will be releasing a ‘major’ installment in the Assassin’s Creed series in 2012, making it sound like the games released after Assassin’s Creed 2 – Brotherhood and Revelations, are merely detours un...

Fans of this game, you will do yourself a favor by picking it up. That said, if you want to get into the details, Revelations is the worst entry in the franchise since the original Assassin’s Creed. Don’t mistake this for a bad review--far from it. St...

Assassin's Creed: Revelations proves (among other things) that one really can have too much of a good thing. This is the third year in a row where an Assassin's Creed game has arrived for the holidays, and Revelations continues to ride the coattails of...
Cities are still great to explore; multiplayer refinements; runs fine on a variety of PC configurations.
AC formula has grown old; tower defense mode; poor pacing; very little that's actually new.

If there's anything that can be said about the Assassin's Creed games, it's that each iteration is consistently better than the last; Revelations continues that trend by taking everything you loved about Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and expanding upon it...
The game looks gorgeous – artistically, there is nothing that I would change one bit, The voice acting is spot on like always, Desmond's sections, while odd, are a welcome and refreshing break...
The den defense minigame loses its fun very quickly, Trying to remember which enemies were weak against which bombs made my head hurt, Ezio and Altair are gone after this...
This game epitomizes the way I want every one of my favorite franchises to be done with characters...
