Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Review and Tuesday Amazon Deal (A Wife’s View)

Need an Assassin’s Creed fix asap?  Well, the wait is over!  Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is here…and Amazon has it for GOLD BOX price right now (this price is good on Tuesday only)!!

I know what you’re thinking though…who cares if it’s for a phenomenal price…I don’t know anything about this game!

Well…let me tell you!

Set in beautiful 16th century Constantinople, Revelations is a fast paced game that keeps the player on the edge of their seat.  While sequels can leave the player feeling unfulfilled and lacking; Full on action throughout, the sequel to Assassin’s Creed does not let you down.  Revelations is the perfect opportunity to hone your assassin skills while you attempt to discover the meaning and the origin of the creed with your deadly assassin mentor.  The perfect aggression expunging game for after a hard week in social media, school, home…whatever.  Picking up where Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood left off (only a couple of days later in fact), the assassins Ezio and Desmond are searching for discs that unlock the secrets of their world.

My husband, the gamer, has been thrilled ever since my induction into the UbiChamps group through CleverGirls (which is how I got the opportunity to review this game)…however I have only just had the opportunity to review a ‘man game’ with Revelations.  Needless to say, he was thrilled. Beyond that.  I may have won “Coolest Wife Eva”.

One of our favorite things to do is for Jon to play and for me to kind of act as his back up…I watch the background – what’s going on the in sidelines of the game – and I point out any ‘badies’ that he might otherwise miss.  I am his greatest weapon (yeah…I’m not full of myself). This game was awesome for that, because so often I am bored by the game…or the lack of storyline…and I didn’t have this problem with Revelations.  I was captivated by the story, the characters, and the scenery.  The ability to make bombs!  Oh, the bombs…one for every situation you face…and made from such international materials. (Please note this M for MATURE and as such should not be played by children.)
