This game is nothing like the movie. It was way too hard to beat bosses, but super simple to beat the small bad guys. The story line followed the movie, but was really weak. I wouldn't waste my time on this one.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Gameplay, short story, incredibly hard

Assassins Creed has excellent graphics, even to the point of blood dripping off the swords. While you can usually do the same thing to kill people, its still fun to sneak around and do some of the other tasks. The plot is intriguing, and it's not exactly what I predicted. I had a great amount of fun and will likely play it again soon.
What's great about it: Good graphic, fun gameplay
What's not so great: Gameplay can get repetative, can be easy to kill enemies

The next installment of Red Alert is better than expected! While the adjustment from computer controls to the 360 takes some time, once mastered I think the controls are better. The plot is somewhat similar to that in Red Alert 2, but it has a nice twist. Graphically, it is much better than RA2, and strategically it is much more difficult. You can't just rush in tanks and expect to wipe everything out in one swoop. Excellent game play, great graphic, more challenge and hours of fun await!
What's great about it: Good graphics, more challenging
What's not so great: Control takes some time to get used to
