It's time for Aliar to pass the torch.

Assassin's Creed 2 is out and here are my thoughts;

Plot: 9/10

It takes place right after the first one, with Desmond Miles looking at the mysterious glyphs of blood on the wall. Then fellow assassin Lucy Stillman shows up and helps Desmond escape the Facility. Not 5 minutes into it, and already we're enjoying it. As not only do we get to see more of the building, but we can have Desmond run, and even fist fight with guards.

The escape the building and move to a warehouse, where he is strapped to a new animus, that allows him to take control of Ezio Auditore, an Italian Nobleman who doesn't know he's an Assassin...yet.

After half his family is executed, he is forced to take up the sword, and the white hood, to avenge his family. But this turns into a war, larger than he could have imagined.

The story is brilliant, and I expected nothing less. One problem... just like the first game, the Religious Politics, and theories fuck with my mind.

Gameplay: 10/10


It is vastly superior to the first game. There is a lot more cool stuff to do this time around. In the first game, it got very repetitive, but this time they mix it up quite a bit, and it's not nearly as repetitive.

You also have a plethora of new moves, including stabbing two people at once, throwing multiple knives at once, inflicting poison, and Shooting a gun, among others.

Inclusion of Altair: 10/10


Some may be discouraged that you don't play as Altair this time around. He's the face of the Assassin's Creed series. But he is a part of the game. Not only do characters talk about him, but he invented a lot of your new gear, and wrote the codex, which is basically a journal he kept after the events of the first game. Halfway through the game, you even get to briefly play as him.

Overall: 10/10
The game is amazing. BUY IT!!!




In other news, some of you may be wondering about that stupid poll I posted. Well that wasn't me! I mistakenly gave my password to a friend of mine, because he said he had some art he wanted to post. Instead he posted two inappropriate polls, and even made them sound like me. Whatever, I changed my password. Deleted the polls. Let us never speak of this again.

What a great Christmas. Because we are going to California this summer, my parents and I disided to cut back on presents this year(cause of the money.) But regardless of that, it was a splendid Christmas, and I got most of the things I wanted;

Assassin's Creed 2
ACDC Rockband(still need to by a PS3 guitar controller)
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
3 new T-Shirts
new bed sheets(thank god because my old ones had a big gapeing hole in them.)
A scull Do-rag
Volume of Calvin and Hobbes comics
a Sonic the Hedgehog wallet
a new portible DVD player
Cawndy!!!

To top it all off, My family is getting DirectTV (Dish has screwed us over for the last time). And we are waiting for the installer to show up.

...so much for saveing money I guess.

"You know, I've been wanting to say this for a long time; screw you it's MARRY CHRISTMAS!!!"

I'm starting to feel it. They warned me about this. The Radiation. I'm starting to feel side effects. Hurts to breath, or lie down.

(EDIT) Okay, I went to the docter, he took an X-Ray, and found no anomilys. His theory is, that with the doses of Radiation, the half-dead tumor in my chest (yes I thought it was gone too), may be fighting to stay alive. He sedgested some over the counter meds, that may help. I ate something, and that helped a little. But I can't lie down. The only comfortable way I can sleep is if I sit in a chair, and put my head of the table.

(EDIT) Well I was able to get some sleep last night. And my chest feels a little better. It still hurts, but not so much that I can't bare it. Also I have a sore throut, but it's nothing I can't handle.

Tonight, me and my family are going to the movie theater tonight, to see the Avatar Movie. But this generates a problem. Those of you who have known me for a long time know that, before this Cancer BS, I worked at that same Theater. Then in Summer 09 I had to take a long sick leave. I haven't seen them in months, but how am I going to explain to them that I'm not going to be back until fall 2010? They'll probly think I'm milking it now, but even though I'm just as strong as always, I'm still not phisicaly ready to go back to work, because my stamina is still screwed up.
