Just to follow up on my Xbox 360 Elite and HD DVD player recommendation from yesterday, I wanted to recommend Assassin’s Creed for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. But it seems as though the PS3 crowd are having some troubles with Altair freezing in mid-jump along with a handful of other glitches. This, however, should not detract from the game itself, which is fantastic.
The AI in AC is unlike any I’ve seen before. For example, if you’re walking through a crowd and bump into someone a little too hard then the surrounding guards will take notice and come pummel your ass. On the other hand, you can easily find allies within that same crowd that will help you escape. I can’t stop playing it and any plans I have for the night have been forgotten or rescheduled. The introduction alone is worth the money.
Game play is smooth and graphics are wicked crisp. The story line is very intriguing and without doing any prior research into the game it caught me off guard. You don’t need me to really review this for you. The hype is well deserved and it’s just that damn good. Take a Leap of Faith or grab a Gamefly subscription and check it out.
BTW- Ubisoft is looking into the glitches for the PS3, but it just goes to show you that the Xbox 360 far superior. Heh.

assassin’s creed is an absolutely terrible game (with a crap load of bugs) to which it owes all of its sucess on pure media hype, and this site is full of BS.
Troll alert!
I don’t play too many games, but this one sucked me in. The AI and gfx are sweet, but not only that, it’s actually fun to play and kept my interest.
ha, ‘yo mama’ is lame
I love Assassin’s Creed, and I’ve got it for PS3. Yeah it’ll randomly crash/freeze up on me usually when it does a ‘fast forward’. But I’m cool with it. Restart, jump back in, keep assassinating.
I agree with everything else stated so I’m not going to repeat it, but I do recommend it to anyone and everyone.
*high five* Mark. Are there any other unusual glitches you’re experiencing?
Nope, not that I’ve noticed. I haven’t even read anything about the ps3 glitches.
(Update): Just did a quick google search, kotaku.com posts about the PS3 freezing while playing Assassin’s Creed and states that the new News Ticker from the last update has been causing it. And to fix the problem, just disable the Information Board.
Will be definitely something I’ll try out as the Information Board/News Ticker I don’t really use all that much. It’s a google concept I guess, and I’m sure will fix those crashes in the next update. But until then, disable it if you have any problems.
