You should all go out and buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I'm not too far into it, but it's a pretty awesome game.
Oh, and if you haven't played an AC game, go out and get AC1/AC2 from the bargain bin. You won't regret it.

awesome game indeed
I tried Assassin's Creed 1 and enjoyed it but my computer absolutely hated it. For some reason it would lock up at random times. Finally got to the point where I never played it again.
I'm patiently waiting on Bioshock Infinite to come out. That plus Cataclysm will be my only game purchases.
Until something new and shiny catches my eye...

Get it for 360. Far better than for the computer.
PS3 works too, if they make AC1/AC2 for it.

I've thought about getting a 360, but since we own a PS3 and Wii I don't think adding one would go over too well. Plus I saw my new shiny in the form of NFS:Hot Pursuit.

I'd still pick up AC1/AC2 for PS3. They're great games. Fantastic story, really fun gameplay.

AC1 was a terrible game. The story isn't bad, and neither are the graphics. However, the gameplay is repetitive. After you've gone to one town and completed the objectives. You've done all of the towns. I didn't play AC2 because of this, even though they changed it.

By that definition, WoW is repetitive, CoD is repetitive, Halo is repetitive, etc.
AC2 and ACB drastically changed how the series played, which is probably why I like them so much more than AC1. AC1 I liked mainly for the story.
If I had to do it again, I doubt I'd buy AC1 for the full retail price, but I'd pay at least $15 for it, which is actually more than what Gamestop is charging.

You almost have a point comparing CoD, and WoW to AC1, but it's nowhere near the same. CoD/WoW both have online play, so they're not repetitive in the same way that AC1 is. I understand what you're saying, but WoW/CoD are popular for their online play, more than the story.
Well, WoW has it's whole lore thing, but I'd bet a higher percentage of people don't read every quest. They just pick up quests, and then turn them in after they're completed.

What kind of game is Assasin's Creed anyway? (As in how does it play/work)
I've heard of it and about it but I've never really looked into the games.

Was rolling with an Arcane Mage in Arathi Basin the other night. I was healing him and he was raking in kills from the backline. He kept insisting on PvP not being broken at the moment, though. Made me laugh.
Still working on getting that PvP weapon. Farming 2500 Honor Points when you've got a 10-minute queue and pretty much only get Isle of Conquest and Strand of the Ancients is hard. Three days and I'm up to 255 points now.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

It kind of varies, but I'd call it a cross between Zelda and Metal Gear. There are puzzles, but there's also a lot of action sections, which can in general be played either via a "rush in and kill everyone" or "sneak around and stealth assassinate people".
It's got an interesting story as well. Worth checking out if you have a PS3 or Xbox360.
I have a PC and a Mac, and my PC is pretty much only used as a stereo so if it isn't playable on Mac I'm not that interested anymore.
Edit: Wait! I also have a dusty Gamecube (no TV though)

Assassin's Creed is like a mix of Hitman and Prince of Persia.
It's sort of a sandbox game, where you move around within cities, or the surrounding countryside, and do various missions while following the main story arc. How you do the missions are up to you, just like in Hitman.
I think they're amazing games, even if Ubisoft is being a total **** with the new constant online connection required for the later games. If you're into jumping around on walls and roofs to find your target and take him out with throwing knives, poisonous daggers or a concealed stiletto, you're going to enjoy the game.
First one takes place during or after the Crusades back in the old Middle-east. Second game takes place some centuries later in Italy. The graphics are stunning. Climbing a tall tower to get a full view of the landscape and then doing a leap of faith into a pile of hay gets me every time.
Common for both games is that *you* are actually a man from a somewhat close future. Turns out mankind has developed a way to create a virtual reality out of the ancestral memories stored in our blood. The main character is a descendant of these assassins and you play him as he plays the assassins through the virtual reality world.

It's especially amazing for me, having taken Latin for 6 years and having studied Roman history for most of that.
I've also been to Italy a few times, so seeing real places I've been is pretty cool, especially when you can get the view from the top of towers and put it in perspective.
Then of course there's the climbing on famous landmarks. My favorite memory is still climbing the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in AC2, which I was fascinated by when I was in Florence.
On an unrelated note.

They all come back eventually.
Free 7 days of playtime + boredom.

Ok, I lied. I'm buying cata anyway, it was highly entertaining to run around on my protadin stomping people flat (ah gnomes, how I've missed your dying gurgles) while singing along to Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell.

The new quests are pretty much awesome.

It was the gnome's death flop that pulled me across the line to Ah what the hell why not? though.

I have to level my horde toon high enough to kill gnomes now, I need that in my life.
Gnomes are creepy and should die.

You could just wait a day and kill goblins instead.
But goblins are cool, so you may not want to.
