With the start of November, video game lovers can finally rejoice. After weeks, months or even years of waiting, Assassin’s Creed is finally set to launch mid November.

“

The game takes place during the Third Crusade, in the year 1191. The player assumes the role of Altaïr (الطائر, Arabic, “The Flying One”), a member of the Hashshashin sect (the original “assassins”), whose objective is to slay the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades. As the player finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities: Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus.

The environment is completely interactive, from the people to the historically accurate cities. These cities are populated by many people, and the way the player controls Altaïr affects how the bystanders around him react to his presence. For example, when going through a crowd, if the player lightly moves someone out of the way, it will not have a significant effect. However, if the player throws someone to the ground and kills them, the crowd may unite against him and he will then have to find a way out. Similarly, if the player shoves a person aside, they may shove him back. If he climbs walls, civilians will gather around, attracting unwanted attention from guards.” (Link)

Another game, which comers out sooner is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I was not impressed with Call of Duty 3, because it looked almost identical to the second Call of Duty. However, the 4th edition takes us to modern times, so the game is bound to be amazing.

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Windows, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. It will be the eighth installment in the Call of Duty video game series (including expansions), the first not to be set during World War II.” (Link)

Both of these cames are bound to be amazing, so if you are a fan of video games, be on the look out for the above.  They are available for many of the different consoles (however, 360 is the best).
