*EXCLUSIVE* Assassin's Creed Revelations Singleplayer Commented Walkthrough [HD]

For those intrested to see a glimpse of Ezio's last journey...

I just played AC1 through again, and am now going through AC2. BTW, the atmosphere change between the games is incredible. Altaïr was a pretty glum and overly serious character, and the world itself was pretty damn grey and dull (in its artisic way. The grapics are still amazing, and the cities can and do have a lot of colour, but....), where as Ezio is a hopeless joker and giggolo at times, and the Reneisance well... people don't seem to be taking everything so damn seriously. Its a nice change over all. I hardly smiled while playing the first game, now I'm giggiling (in a manly sort of way, of course) almost all the time.

Now, let's see. I need to go to Venice and....

I loved the series, and I can't wait to see why Desmond did what he did at the end of Brotherhood. I have my hypotheses...

I just bought Settlers 7 which has a multiplayer function. Good game, highly addictive. I recommend it if you like the Age of Empires strategy types.

Also Frozen Synapse is a good game, though watch a player commentary because the trailer doesn't really say what the game is all about.

Anybody else played L.A Noire?

I'm finally starting to get the hang of the Intuition points-system. Unfortunately my 5-star row just got broken, cause I kinda pissed off the boss..... :P

The shooting system is pretty much rubbish though.... not to mention the trafficing laws, or the apparent lack there of. Everybody drives against reds, people turn as they like, the car infront of you might park right in the middle of a junction without any apparent reason...gotta say, car chases are quite the challenges from time to time.

Recently pretty much all I've been playing has been The Witcher. Never got into fantasy-ish RPG's until this one. Makes me wanna try out Oblivion again, on the PC due to my love of modding communities. They made New Vegas for me.

On the subject of CD Projeckt, what does everybody think about Good Old Games? If you don't know what it is, then check it out. It's pretty neat.

Recently played a leaked release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I really like it. It's an FPS/RPG but has a lot of cool sneaky stuff instead of just running around shooting people. It comes out later this month.

I'm waiting for the Witcher 2 to cheapen a little. I bought the Portal and Portal 2 bundle just a month or so before Portal 2 went down from US$39 to $29. I don't regret it though, but I could've saved those ten bucks ;D

I have! I haven't beaten yet (even though I brought it at the midnight release) because there are so many good games that came out around the same time that I just keep jumping back and forth between games. I probably still have like 6 or 7 games I brought within the past 6 months that I haven't even PLAYED yet.

Yes... I have an addiction to video games....

I do this too, though I usually start them, play a little and then another game I'm interested in comes out and I go after that.

This one? Cause I had this one.




I had one of those! My niece borrowed it and never gave it back, but she's adorable and like 10. So I'll allow it.

I tend to want to finish games I start it (unless they suck). Plus with all the systems I played, a lot of games come out at the same time. So I have to try and manage my time. While going to school full-time and now working full-time, when school starts up again, I have no idea how I'm going to be able to manage my time... x_x

I just bought Minecraft, and really like it. Full of blocks... ;D I'm trying to build a big sandcastle, though it's going to take quite a long time.

I'm currently playing Persona 2 for ps1 because I never beat it.

I borrowed it from my friend played it for a few hours and a black screen popped up saying insert second disc. So I'm still waiting to play the second half, but so far it's been pretty awesome. The interviews are extremely difficult, or I just suck at them. The clues are relatively easy to find with a couple tricky ones here and there. The traffic laws really do suck though. I haven't got nearly any high star ratings thanks to car damage and civilian injuries.

I'm still trying to decide which is better between L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption.
