My Fav Games : Assassin's Creed (2007)

Assasins Creed is a historical sci-fi third person game, the first in a series of games developed by Ubisoft Montreal. The game first caught my attention when I saw its pre-rendered in-game video on YouTube.

The awesome gameplay combining combat and stealth, supported by amazing graphics (as per 2007 game engines) and an amazing storyline truly merits this game as one of the best in our era. The game is available for PC, PlayStation3 and Xbox360 consoles.

The Plot

The game is set in the year 2012, where the world is filled with chaos and destruction. Amidst the chaos, a mega corporation called Abstergo has devised plans to seize control over the minds and will of every person on Earth. To perform this task, they need to find powerful artifacts called 'Pieces of Eden'.

Abstergo captures Desmond Miles, a bartender, who was an assasin trainee as a child. He is forced to relive the memories of his ancestors (who were assasins) that are stored in his DNA. Abstergo makes use of a machine called the Animus, which allows the viewing of such memories.


The original ancestor of Desmond is Altair Ibn La-Ahad (Arabic translation for 'The Flying One, Son of No one'). This game features Desmond reliving memories of Altair via the Animus.


The Story So Far...


As per the game Assasins Creed : Altair's Chronicles, a prequel to the Assasins Creed series,
Altaïr is sent on a mission from the Order of Assassins to retrieve a Chalice from the grasps of both the Crusaders and the Saracens. Altaïr quests to find three different magic keys then travels to Jerusalem to face the head of the Knights Templar, Basilisk. Upon arriving, he learns that the Chalice is not an object, but a woman named Adha who reveals that Altaïr has been deceived by an assassin named Harash, who is now a double-agent for the Templars. After killing both Harash and Basilisk, Altaïr attempts to save a kidnapped Adha from captivity but is too late. The game ends with a captured Adha sailing away and Altaïr left in Jerusalem.


Assasins Creed : Altair's Chronicles is available on NintendoDS, iOS, Symbian and Android Platforms.

Assasins Creed Storyline


The game starts with Abstergo using Altaïr's memories  to find the Piece of Eden via the Animus. Altaïr, still in Jerusalem, ventures to Solomon's Temple to confront crusader Robert de Sable and retrieve the Piece of Eden for Al Mualim, head of the Assassins. Betraying many rules of the Creed of the Assassins and failing his mission, Altaïr is demoted to a novice assassin upon return to the Assassin's Fortress. To redeem his previous status, Altaïr is sent by Al Mualim to assassinate nine targets in three different cities. With each kill, Altaïr learns there is a connection between his targets; they are all Templars united by Robert de Sable to take control of the Holy Land independently from the Saracens and Crusaders.


After assassinating all nine targets and discovering that his ninth target was in fact a trap, Altaïr confronts Robert in front of King Richard I of England, leader of the Crusader army. Altaïr informs Richard that Robert is plotting to betray and kill him, which causes him to encourage a duel to the death between Altaïr and Robert. Richard then believes Altaïr. Upon dying, Robert confesses to Altaïr that they were not nine, but ten Templars conspiring to take the Piece of Eden. The tenth being Al Mualim, who wanted to keep the Piece of Eden for himself and therefore sent out Altaïr to kill the others. Back at the Fortress, where Al Mualim had taken over the minds of the people inside, Altaïr manages to defeat and kill him in a duel. The memory Abstergo was searching for, which located the Piece of Eden, reveals it is only just one of 28 that are scattered across the world.
Back in 2012, Abstergo sends a team to recover as many Pieces as possible. Deciding they do not need him any more, they give orders to kill Desmond. Lucy Stillman, an Abstergo employee who revealed to Desmond that she is an undercover Assassin, convinces them not to kill Desmond until they recover the Pieces, buying him time. Desmond is left alone in the Animus room, and by the use of Altaïr's Eagle Vision inherited from the 'bleeding effect' caused by the Animus, he sees many symbols drawn in blood on
the wall in his room and on the floors of the lab.

Assassination targets are mostly actual historical figures, although the timelines for their lives and causes of death have been changed to suit the games' plot (in-game these inaccuracies are attributed to the Templars rewriting history to cover up their actions, as well as honest mistakes on
the part of historians).
