ASSASSIN’S CREED III<br />
In the distant year of 2007, upon saving the world from the Covenant and Flood alien<br />
menaces, UNSC Petty Officer Sierra 117 Master Chief was alone on the derelict<br />
spaceship, Forward Unto Dawn. He walked into a cryo-chamber and said to his AI<br />
companion Cortana: “Wake me when they need me.” This signalled the end of an<br />
era in shooter games, the climax of the Halo trilogy. Many were sad to see it go, but<br />
understood that the story it had told was complete; its enemies were defeated. However,<br />
a mere five years later, with a new studio at the helm, the Saga of Halo continues; with a<br />
new numbered entry that no one would certainly reject, but not many people especially<br />
asked for either. It would perhaps have been a little more dramatic if we hadn’t had a<br />
Halo game released each year for the last three years either.<br />
Every now and again, something happens to a video game developer that they could only<br />
dream of previously. A product they release becomes so successful, so phenomenally<br />
acclaimed for its concept that it sets the stage to become a cross-media franchise of<br />
truly biblical proportions. For Ubisoft in 2007, this game was Assassin’s Creed. Skip<br />
ahead five years later, and with the release of Assassin’s Creed III (actually the fifth main<br />
series entry, and the twelth if including side games) this particular arc has come to an<br />
end. While it may not be the end for the franchise, it is the end of the story for many of<br />
the characters we have been introduced to over the years.<br />
Assassin’s Creed III is definitely a good game, a great game even, I certainly thought so.<br />
It has a lot of playtime-for-money, and a variety of gameplay activities to keep you going.<br />
Definitely worth a buy for fans, and worth a look for newcomers as well.<br />
