IGN UK: "The realisation that I'm having fun is a strange one. Not because the first Assassin's Creed wasn't fun, but because it didn't want to admit it. It was very much a Sit Up Straight, Tuck Your Elbows In, Don't Talk Back kind of game - serious, glowering, even miserable. Granted, it was about conspiracies intended to screw over nations and stabbing men in the spine, but hey - would it hurt to smile a little? Assassin's Creed 2 is similarly about conspiracies and spine-stabbing (eye-stabbing too, in one particularly brutal animation), but it's determined to let you have a good time amidst all this darkness."
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
This weekend from August 10-14, players can play for free Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag and Valhalla on Xbox, PlayStation and PC (availability dependent on platform).
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
