My Gaming News Vol. 2

So I done this one right after the other because Assassins Creed is one of my favourite games.

 

Assassin's Creed Revelations

 

 

He might look gray, but after watching Ezio leap around in Assassin's Creed Revelations it's safe to say there's plenty of life in this old dog yet.

Brotherhood's story developments certainly kept us entertained, but mostly we were just blown away by how well Ubisoft Montreal has managed to perfect the formula from Assassin's Creed II. From what we've seen of Revelations so far, the same is likely to be true again, with plenty of cool gadgets and features added to the mix to keep things from looking stale.

Adding a welcome hint of Splinter Cell to the mix, your Eagle Vision upgrades now allow you to see the rough movement paths of enemies, a technique you'll use to devastating effect when combined with Revelations' new handmade bombs. Rather than sticking to off-the shelf explosives, Ezio will now be able to build his own bombs using collectable ingredients throughout the game. As you might remember from the game's E3 demo, it looks like these won't be the only machinations to hand.

Expanding on the idea of Brotherhood's Borgia Towers, Ezio will be tasked with taking over a number of Templar dens throughout the city, Once the Templars have been kicked out, you're still not entirely in the clear, you'll need to hire militia or recruit master assassins to keep your territory safe from their inevitable attempts to reclaim lost ground.

Once you've unlocked a den, you'll get all important access to rooftop ziplines, these are handy that let you quickly zoom using your new Hookblade. Expect this little gadget to entirely change the way you move around the city and handle enemy attention, why wait for them to strike when you can pull them in towards you?

With Ezio, Altiar and Desmond all due to make an appearance, Revelations should be the perfect way to prepare for the series' next big character.
