One of the things I like about Assassin's Creed is that there are so many settings that could work for it. Feudal Japan! French Revolution! Russian Revolution! Hell, if they could work out a decent way to do guns, then I'd love one spanning World War I - start the game a few years prior, finish shortly after the war ends. That period was full of political machinations that could easily have featured an Assassin, and the world had become small enough that you could set it in a few different countries across Europe.

I have to say Mortal Kombat purely because I owned a Mega Drive and GameGear. i used to know all the fatality moves!

Funnily enough, played Sonic on the Mega Drive Ultimate Collection the other day, the cheat at the start of the game works! 10 points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

McTim, I agree, that's the great thing about Assassin's. So many locations and so many interesting points in hisstory. Can you imagine, videogames now have more power to tell the tales of history than school teachers do. You could really re-write history.

But as far as Assassin's is concerned, i think the best setting would be a game without guns, although I see where you're going with it...

As I missed about 700 posts while typing that last one up: San Andreas was dull, Vice City was great. Haven't really liked any of the 3D Mortal Kombat games, although the most recent one wasn't half-bad.

Not sure whether I'd go for MK1 or SF2, truthfully. I spent a lot of time with SF2 on the SNES, but also quite a lot with MK1 on the PC (yes, I played it with keyboard controls). I suppose that'd come down to the people with whom I was playing - I knew more people who played MK, but there was a fierce SF2 rivalry between a few of us...

Haha. Actually, that's part of the reason I'm looking forward to Assassin's Creed 3 - I don't know too much about the American Revolution, and I'm looking forward to seeing things happen in game so I can look up the real-world events they're based on.

I think that was the rivalry which spilled through from the consoles. It can be argued that that rivalry still exists today with games such as Forza and GT5 - despite some arguing one is more realistic than the other.

It also happened when the PS started losing exclusivity with titles such as GTA and Final Fantasy.

There'll always be a console war!

Did anyone ever play the point-and-click PC games back in the day, like Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle? I loved those games as a kid.
