I'm back!

After not posting all summer so far, I have decided to start posting again, and now I have more to write about. I'm going to do two things in this post: one is suggest to anyone who is even remotely a MW2 fan to check out this video, and please subscribe to him. He just lost 2 of his Youtube accounts to hacking and wants to get his fan base back, plus he is one of the best and most accrurate snipers ever, and a great editor. He is also in Optic, which is a sniper clan on MW2.

Second, other than just suggesting a guy playing MW2 and calling it a day, I am also going to give you a reivew and the reivew is of...............my favroite RPG for Xbox 360, one of the best storylines I have ever seen in a video game, and my favroite game of 2010 (so far): Assassin's Creed 2! This is obviously a sequel to Assassin's Creed, which everyone wanted to like because of the idea and the awesome storyline, but it was sooooo repetitive, had its share of glitches, and there was no economic system (no money whatsoever in fact).

But this is a review about the second game, not the first game. Assassin's Creed 2 is set in modern-day time in the beginning, but then you use a machine called the Animus to go back into your ancestors' memory. Your family and ansestors are a long line of assassins, but not your thanks-for-the-money-I'm-gonna-kill-him assassins, more like an order set to protect and serve everyone by watching and assassinating any evildoers in power. Anyways you learn how to be a modern-day assassin when you're in the Animus. You go from 1476-1479 (teenager) through 1500 (early middle-aged) in reniassance Italy. They fixed all the problems with the first game and more. And there are over a hundred side-things (things being quests, races, and tombs to name a few) to do, along with collecting disks to unlock the guy from the first game's armour (best armour in the game and fun and hard to get) You have to go into these tombs and get through beating the challenges to get them).

There are plenty of different weapons, equipment, and armour to unlock and buy. Gameplay is a bit complicated, but no matter. It's in 3rd person. There are a few bugs, mainly audio such as repetitive noise and not hearing for a while in comversations (which only happend to me 2-4 times). You should totally play with the subtitles on because if you don't then when they start going on banters of Latin then you may miss something funny or interesting. Anyways this is a total "Buy it!" if you like that sort of game. If you've played through the first one it makes more sense in the beginning and whenever you leave the Animus, but that's all.
