Pix and ND loaned me Assassins Creed 2 & whatever the 2.5's-not-quite-3-named one. Silly me starting playing 2 last night, on a school night. I liked the original. 2 is pretty awesome too! Still suck at the races, but the story line is better, and doesn't feel as repetitive as the original was. I'm into the 3rd DNA sequence already. However, silly goose here stayed up till 4am playing the bloody thing. D'oh!
Yeah, ACII is one of my favorite games ever. It's sad that ACIII is apparently a step back from everything I've heard.
Wow I have enjoyed the hell out of watching ACIII. Still haven't picked up the controller on any of them, probably too afraid I'll be hooked.
I wouldn't say ACIII is a step back -- it's a bit of a mixed bag, at least for me; a lot of the movement/climbing/freerunning stuff that drives the action is a nice step up from the whole ACII series. I'm just not nearly as deeply into the story (which may or may not come as I get further into the game).

Tally: 15 - 0 = 15. Pass! The toddler has been secured. Repeat, the toddler has been secured.
Next up is: ooh, more raider fun. The six raiders fire on the battlestars again:

Two hits! Do I have COs? ...No, I don't. It's current player's choice. Cally, how would you like to assign the hits?
BSG (Chief)
GOOD JOB RAIDERS!

Put on your dodging shoes, Admiral. Pegasus can take the hits.
