7th Generation - Assassin’s Creed

Assassin’s Creed is a fiction action-adventure video game series, developed by Ubisoft Montreal originally for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and released in 2007, but it was also released for PC later on.

As any other game, Assassin’s Creed received some positive and also negative reviews. ESPN’s Aaron Boulding called the game “fairly original” but also that “Visually, the developers nailed it.” GamePro video game magazine stated that Assassin’s Creed is one of the “finest gaming experiences ever created” but that it lacks in fast-paced action. Darren Wells from Hyper magazine says that the game has “great story, great graphics and intuitive controls”.

Overall this first game in the Assassin’s Creed series had decent animation for its time, and better lightning and design style than most of its successors.

Several sequels and versions of the game were released, including Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles launched in 2008 for the Nintendo DS, and later on was also ported for iPhone and iPod Touch. Assassin’s creed III was released in 2012, and it is one of the best games in the series due to its great animations and realistic movements.
