I picked up a copy of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood a few days ago as it was discounted. While the range of games available on the Mac isn’t exactly stellar, I’m not much of a “gamer” under normal circumstances and haven’t even turned on my Xbox 360 in a few months..

With Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, however, I’ve ended up totally hooked. Again this afternoon I spent several hours leaping from buildings and killing Borgia guards as if it was the most natural thing in the world – and I won’t even mention last night..

The graphics are absolutely stunning and while you can’t enter that many buildings on the huge map, you can climb over pretty much everything you can see – if you can find a foothold of course. The main character you control would have been a good addition to the cast of Banlieue 13 – his free running (parkour) skills are impressive!

The trailer below gives some idea of the storyline and graphics:

I’m currently stuck in Rome trying to get get into a tower, though I keep falling off the wall 🙁

And yes, I will keep trying, as I want to know what will happen next!
