Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood

ASSASSIN'S CREED : BROTHERHOOD Ubisoft is back in the game, bringing for all those who felt that they just didn't have enough of Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood. PLOT:       Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood shows Desmond and his allies escape to a hideout, which turns out to be (the now ruined) Ezio's ancestral mansion in Italy. They set up base in the basement, and Desmond continues experiencing Ezio's memories via the Animus 2.0, aiming to find their own Apple of Eden which Ezio supposedly hid somewhere secret.    Returning to Ezio, the game picks up exactly from where Assassin's Creed II ended. Ezio returns home, only to be attacked by the Borgia (whom he spared in Assassin's Creed II). They kill his uncle Mario and claim the Apple while Ezio is forced to flee to Rome. What follows is years of Ezio's struggles against the Borgia and ultimately, the Templars. In the process, he even restores Rome to its former glory. In the...

Assassin's Creed II

ASSASSIN'S CREED II    Assassin's Creed II, the second game of the Assassin's Creed series, adds a new constant to the equation - Ezio Auditore (Desmond's Italian ancestor). It is recommended that you begin with Assassin's Creed I to get a better understanding of the game.   PLOT:        The plot considerably thickens. The game starts with Desmond and Lucy escaping from Abstergo Industries' confinement (Lucy turns out to be an Assassin working undercover at Abstergo). Lucy then takes Desmond to fellow Assassin's Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, who hope to train Desmond and turn him into an expert Assassin. To help him do this, they make him experience his Italian ancestor, Ezio's memories via a machine somewhat similar to the Animus.      Moving over to Ezio's story, the game follows his life's story from being a rash youth to a wise and deadly Assassin. Ezio's father and brothers are hanged, accused of a conspiracy they ne...

Assassin's Creed I

ASSASSIN'S CREED 1 The first game of a phenomenally popular series, it didn't get the deserved attention when it was released in 2007. This game was the first of its kind - no one had ever tried to create a game which had an open-world exploration feature based on any historical city.     PLOT:         The story begins with the story of Desmond Miles, a bartender, who is kidnapped by Abstergo Industries, and is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, Altair, with the help of a machine called the Animus. Abstergo believes that they can get to a powerful artifact- The Apple of Eden -by exploring Desmond's memories and discovering Altair's adventures with the artifact.        Most of the story is about Desmond experiencing his ancestor's memories. He is awoken time and again to take rest and is awoken the next day to continue experiencing Altair's memories. All the while, he is accompanied by Dr. Warren Vidic and his assi...
