Assassin's Creed

One of this year's biggest hypes surrounding a next-gen console game is Assassin's Creed. The game encompasses Altair, an artisan of assissin craft. Playing as Altair, you will explore three cities during the 12th century crusades ear that entail such vivid graphics and minute details that it would seem that you could reach out and touch the world in which you are roaming. The game surounds one main goal, elusively kill, and the freedom in which you achieve your objectives is what makes this game rise high above its competitors. If this doesn't wet your lips enough to make Assassin's Creed a serious priority, perhaps this trailer will. Check it out.

ANGER AND RAGE!

If you are an owner of an Xbox 360, as I am, than it is quite possible you have encountered the same agonizing frustrations with the system that I have. Aside from putting two scratches shaped in concentric circles onto my Fifa 07 game - which if I get into will really make me mad, hence it's better if I don't - my console itself has just entered its second malfunctioning phase. Let me explain.

It has been documented that about 5% of all 360s released were done so with "general hardware failures." When this occurs with the individual system, the once green light that signaled "power on" on flashes red. To gamers this is known as "the red ring of death". A bit over-dramatic? Perhaps. Regardless, this simple flaw in Microsoft's next-gen console is extremely annoying, especially since it would seem that my console falls into that dreaded 5%.

Not more than a week ago my system decided to display "the red ring of death".... again. That's right, this is the second time my 360 has failed me. So, knowing that i can't do anything but get it fixed once again, I offer anyone who has the same problems with their console a bit of advice - buy a Wii. It's just not worth fussing with all these annoying system malfunctions Microsoft. I mean, your 360 is supposed to be a next-gen console, but it can't fuction as well as the original NES. I give up with your terrible system and am moving on to hopefully better things. Hello PS3.
