Review: Assassin's Creed: Brahman
Friday, Jul 22 2022, 10:06 Assassins Creed, Comic Book, comics, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks Assassin's Creed: Brahman by Brenden Fletcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think this is my favorite comic story to date. While you do have the who assassin/templar thing going on, the protagonist is just a regular Joe Schmoe working for Abstergo. His significant other is of an Assassin heritage (something she doesn't know) and ultimately becomes a victim of a

Review: Assassin's Creed: Volume 3 Homecoming
Wednesday, Jul 20 2022, 10:02 Assassins Creed, Comic Book, comics, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks Assassin's Creed: Volume 3 Homecoming by Anthony Del Col My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was an OK story. Reading it made me wonder if they had more in mind as a continuation to this, or if it just fizzled. It wasn't bad, but it was also not super exciting. Publisher's summary:The Brotherhood of the Assassins is in trouble. Resources depleted by their long

Review: Assassin's Creed: Assassins Vol.2: Setting Sun
Saturday, Jul 16 2022, 11:11 Assassins Creed, Comic Book, comics, Entertainment, goodreads, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks Assassin's Creed: Assassins Vol.2: Setting Sun by Anthony Del Col My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fun continuation to the first volume. The animus components of the story take place in the Incan Empire during the Spanish invasion. This is not addressed in the comic book or the lore, but I'd love to get more background as to how the Assassin Order's numbers dwindled

Review: Assassin's Creed: Assassins Vol.1: Trial by Fire
Saturday, Jul 9 2022, 11:47 Assassins Creed, Comic Book, Entertainment, fiction, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks Assassin's Creed: Assassins Vol.1: Trial by Fire by Anthony Del Col My rating: 4 of 5 stars Interesting story. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the past life/animus sequences take place in Salem during the Salem Witch Trials and the hysteria that ensued. Of course, it was all a templar ploy ;-) I do like that at the end of the individual comics they've

Assassin's Creed Rebellion | Endgame Reached
Tuesday, Jul 14 2020, 04:00 Android, Assassins Creed, Entertainment, RPG, strategy, video games, VideoGames One of the games that I've been playing periodically while watching TV, is Assassin's Creed Rebellion. The game is a mobile strategy RPG with all the regular fixings of a free-to-play game: a limited in-game currency that you use to play missions. The currency replenishes at fixed time intervals, or you can pay to get more of it ahead of the full replenishment time.The game draws from the story of

Review: Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Tuesday, Jun 23 2020, 13:51 Assassins Creed, Books, Entertainment, goodreads, novel, review, Social Media, Social Networks, video games, VideoGames Assassin's Creed: Revelations by Oliver BowdenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a good ending to the Ezio storyline (and it wrapped up the Altair line as well). It follows the events of the game with the same name, but I think the author adds some more details to fill out the story. I like that they've also added the events of the short film "embers" in this book, but again - lack of modern-day

Review: Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade
Wednesday, Mar 18 2020, 04:00 Assassins Creed, Books, Entertainment, fiction, goodreads, novel, review, Social Media, Social Networks Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade by Oliver BowdenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I actually enjoyed this one more than the previous two in the series. This book follows the story of Altair through the events of the first Assassin's Creed, as well as the follow-up game Assassin's Creed Bloodlines (for the PSP). The thing I appreciated about this novel is that it fills in Altair's story between

Review: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Thursday, Mar 5 2020, 03:30 Assassins Creed, audiobooks, goodreads, review, Social Media, Social Networks, video games, VideoGames Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver BowdenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars It's been such a long time since I played brotherhood that most of the story was "new" to me - which was actually pretty fun. I still got flashbacks to some of the game mechanics in the game itself while listening to this novel. I still think it's a missed opportunity to explore more of the modern day assassins (what

Review: Assassin's Creed: Renaissance
Wednesday, Mar 4 2020, 09:17 Assassins Creed, audiobooks, Books, Entertainment, fiction, goodreads, review, Social Media, Social Networks, video games, VideoGames Assassin's Creed: Renaissance by Oliver BowdenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Not a bad adaptation of Assassin's Creed 2. It's been over 10 years since I played the game, so this was a fair memory jogging device of things that occurred in Ezio's timeline in that second game. The writing wasn't bad, the main characters we good, and (if you're like me) you were reminded of some of the happenings

Assassin's Creed Odyssey | Done!
Monday, Jan 20 2020, 03:00 Ancient Greece, Assassins Creed, Entertainment, RPG, Sci-Fi, video games, VideoGames, XBOX I feel like I've been playing this game forever but I can say that I am done with it (for now anyway). While I haven't finished the 3rd (and final) chapter of The Fate of Atlantis, I'd like to savor the final 8-10 hours of gameplay without rushing through it. I also feel like I need a bit of a palate cleanser.The short version of the story is this: You start off a child (although
