It was Tuesday after school and I was walking to the car, being bummed about not receiving one of the most popular video games: Assassin’s Creed III (AC3). I had already played all the games prior: Assassin Creed I, Assassin’s Creed II Brotherhood, Revelations – I am pretty much a huge fan of this franchise.

So I got into the car, where my mother saw me looking quite blue, she suddenly whipped out Assassin’s Creed III.

“Surprise!” she said.

So you might be wondering, what kind of 16 year old girl wants to play a  gruesome and violent video game? Honestly, I could not tell you the answer myself, but I have been playing these games for over a year now and I  have loved all of them.

So why is AC3 so amazing, so much more epic compared to the other games? Well, in AC3, it takes place at the dawn of the American Revolution, where you play Connor, a half Native American and half British Assassin that, with the help of his Assassins, ignite the Revolution in full spark.

I am personally not very far in to the game, but I am really enjoying. The graphics are outstanding and the story isn’t half bad. I would encourage anyone to try out the Assassin’s Creed franchise!
