martin dufort: i also saw her on “tout le monde en parle”, it didn’t impress me, but i think it was because french was her second language.

fred: i saw the trailers and some game footage, and i already thought it was repetitive. sneak, do a special move, assassinate, fight, run away, hide. then repeat again.

i liked the wing commander series by the way. i thought it was a good adventure game, it was funny though how they managed clipping (with planes going through the spaceship and not crashing)

As far as the game goes it depends who is evaluating it and the relationship with Ubisoft that they have I guess as GameSpot is rating it 9.0.

Also Jade Raymond appeared on “Tout le monde en Parle” sunday night. A talk show about people that make the news usually attended by artists and politicians. So she is really mainstream here…

Happy location reporting – Martin

Hi Heri,

What you say about the games being more and more like movies is the biggest problem of the gaming industry.

Even if visual impressive, these blockbuster productions are more movies than games. On a pure gaming experience, Assassin has been poorly rated (IGN 6.5) as being repetitive and not that interesting to play.

That reminds me the Wing Commander saga in the 90s that end up being a movie by the way.
