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'.
