I heard this first from a friend during school yesterday; that Assassin's Creed received a 7 for a rating by several gaming sites. I couldn't believe it. I had already expected I wouldn't like it, but I also expected I would be the only person that felt that way. Now sites are saying it's top 5 most disappointing games of all time material. IGN is in the spotlight for being the harshest towards the game, and GameSpy and 1Up seem to second their opinion. My fears of Assassin's Creed not living up to the hype it generated at E3 2007 have been confirmed. I, for one, am not getting this game- or atleast not until more reviews come out. This goes to show how you can't always trust a game to live up to it's hype. In the past all it took was a really cool trailer at E3 and emphasis on an awesome new feature to save it a spot on most gamers' Games To Buy lists. But we've seen so many games that were hyped like crazy, only to crash and burn once they were released. Shadowrun, RedSteel for the Wii, and Dirge of Cerberus for instance. All that remains to be seen is the truth on this game and how good it is, now that it's hit retailer shelves. More info here.
Take care and have fun gaming,
