Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Preview | CheatCC

CheatCC says - The first Assassin's Creed title was a bit shaky, but since then, the franchise has been on a roll. Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will almost certainly go down in history as two of the deepest, most inventive, and most enjoyable video games of this generation. So the bar is set high for Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which is due out in November.

Top 10: New Series of the Current Console Generation - LAG

LAG - "The video game industry is flooded by long running sequels. It takes only one look at the Wii’s library to realize great intellectual properties are a rare sight to see. That is why this week’s top ten focuses on those series that only just began this generation. It doesn’t have to be entirely original, but it cannot be an extension of a series from previous generations. That basically means Mario Galaxy and Modern Warfare does not count as “new”. The series can be on Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, but had to have begun no earlier than 2005. This is a top ten based on series, that means at least two games. Remember, quality is always better than quantity, so just because a series has more games does not make it a better new series."

that's a pretty good list. i think they definitely got the top 2 right, it just comes down to preference for which is #1. i do think Bioshock should be on there, though.

You are right that it deserves a mention, I added it to honourable mentions. While I loved the first game, as a series it hasn't hit a home run for me yet.

He should've just labeled it "From Software's 'Souls' series" rather than "Demon's Souls series". You can't call Dark Souls a sequel when it introduces a different universe (although similar).

coolbeans4575d ago

Thank you for taking your taking your time to edit that. Good work on the list, if I may add.

moofo4575d ago

Bioshock, now that you mention it. Is getting a third. So that is relevant i guess.

jrgl4575d ago

Not exactly what I'd have chosen but I agree with most of this.

Relientk774575d ago

Demons Souls is a PS3 exclusive, why is it listed on Xbox 360 as well?

anyway my top new franchises are:

- Assassin's Creed
- Uncharted

Bokan4575d ago

I had it listed as Demon's Souls(series), and Dark Souls is on 360. It's in italics meaning the entire series isn't on the system.
