After much public and professional criticism of the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft could have so easily have hung up the cloak, placed the dagger in a box and worked on something war-based with Tom Clancy stuck on the front of the name. Of course, Altair's adventure was still very good, but the cool assassin was playing in an empty shell. That said, empty shells are there to be filled and sequels are a good place to do it. Even the haters could recognise the huge potential that Ubisoft's new franchise has. Assassin's Creed 2 was inevitable, we wanted it and now it's here."

The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
