Assassin's Creed Revelations: will it be a letdown?

If any of you guys are lovers of the Assasin's Creed series, you are probably dying for the fourth installment to come out in November. It's the last of the Ezio trilogy and I myself am really looking forward to it.

However, many people have watched the trailer and commented that it looked like AC 3, only with a few tweaks and a different setting. Hmm... let's review all the things that are new in the soon-to-be released game:

• You can make different types of bombs (click here to see how it's done)
• Better graphics
• Ezio has a new hook/claw to replace the blades... they can:
• be used on zip-lines throughout the city of Constantinople
• be used for climbing
• catch far away ledges
  
• kill people with a lot of cool moves
• Eagle Vision = Eagle Sense, meaning that Ezio can track his targets' potential moves
• Better camera settings
• A great continuing plot- its forerunners have taught us that Assassin's Creed has an amazing plot
• Oh, and it's freaking Ezio Auditore. That should be enough for you to buy the game.

So... what do you guys think? Will you be getting Assassin's Creed: Revelations?
 I definitely will be!

November 2011: Godspeed to the Gamestop Employees

For any gamers out there, we know what November 2011 will bring. Battlefield 3. Modern Warfare 3. Assasin's Creed: Revelations. Skyrim. That's all I can think of at the moment but I know there are more drool-worthy games that are to be released soon. I myself am a huge fan of AC and COD; I really should get around to the pre-ordering already!

Battlefield is a fantastic series that I've ignored for so long, because of my COD-fanboy-like tendencies to only stick to one FPS game at a time. However, after giving in to all my friend's suggestions, I bought a used copy of BFBC2 a few weeks ago and gave it a try.

I was amazed. Or rather, blown away, especially with the 360-degree sound system of my awesome Tritton Headset. Don't get me wrong, COD is a fun game for me, but BC2 was simply amazing. Anyone who has played BC2 will know what I'm talking about. I was shocked that I had neglected such a great video game series because of my own arrogance. BUT, they each have their pros and cons. I'm still getting used to BC2 while having fun with COD. I see no reason to fight about which is better, because they are all good in their own way (in my opinion).

That is why I simply cannot wait until November, when all my favorite games will come out and my wallet will be empty. And my social life will be empty as well. 

For some reason, Blogger is not letting me upload pictures to this blog. So instead, let's just imagine those amazing video games which will soon be ours in... 3 months.

As to our lovely Gamestop/GAME employees, may the Force be with you when November approaches. ;)
