Assassin's Creed Talks

Like I said yesterday, i will talk a little bit more about Assassin's Creed, I won't make a review, I will just talk as a fan and player of the game.

So the first Assassin's Creed installment was time lined during the Second Crusade around the year 1100. But there is also a character called Desmond, who lives in present times. He is captured in a facility and is forced to sync himself in a machine called Animus and he can live his ancestor's memories, which is our assassin. The assassin is called Altair(with an accent over the "i") and he is a Master Assassin, but he also is a snob, ignorant in other words a jerk :P. Him and other two assassins go on a mission to retrieve the Holy Grail or Apple of Eden. Being the ignorant and full of himself kind of guy, he doesn't care about his Master's orders and jumps to kill the Templar Leader, of course he misses his kill and gets one of the other assassins killed and the other one badly injured, but he manages to flee.
Returning defeated but manages to steal the Grail, his Master begins to ask questions and Altair lies about what actually happened. But the surviving assassin returns and tells the truth, as a consequence Altair is sentenced to death. His master having the power of the Grail actually made Altair think that he was killed, but actually didn't and was stripped of his ranks. So your true journey starts from this point and being just a normal assassin again, he needs to prove that he is worthy to become a Master Assassin...umm again :P
That's about all that I'll say, except that you will find a great story, voice acting and twists that you couldn't imagine. And an ending like no other both for Altair and Desmond.

The second installment Assassin's Creed 2. Well if you like the first one, you will love the second one! More hours of game play, not as repetitive as the first and of course a great story!
AC2 is placed during the Renaissance period(around 1400). Your assassin is called Ezio Auditore da Firenze(Ezio Auditore of Florence) who isn't born an assassin like Altair. You actually spend the time when he was a teenager and driven by revenge he learns the ways of the Assassin. Ezio is loved by women and hated by the Templars led by Borgia. Ezio has no idea what he has actually gotten himself into but is about to find out as soon as he realizes that he has to play the most important part in saving his people, so as you progress you will find that he changes from his vengeful self into a savior of Italy. Desmond manages to escape from Obstergo (the company that kept him captive) and starts to show assassin behavior from living his ancestors memories. On the other hand Ezio becomes friends with one of the greatest minds of all times, Leonardo da Vinci who will become his personal inventor. Customize your armor, build your own village and become a leader and if you liked the ending of the first one...you will love the ending of Assassin's Creed 2.

Having a PC platform I have yet to play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, so i will complete this post as soon as I have it.
