I don't whether this deserved the 9.5; I mean, its great after all the fixes are applied. Again, AFTER all the fixes are applied. In my opinion, these fixes, and the fact that you need an Xbox360 controller to play it well should lower the score by at least 1 point.

I'm not an extremely big console guy, but I would buy one just to support Valve!

I guess this will waste some time waiting for EPISODE 3... *sigh*

Makes sense since it is such a different game. Either way, the last trailer I saw was awesome.

I think the reason why the AC series seems so overdone is because they milked the crap out of Ezio's arc. I mean, the gameplay and story in and of themselves are actually fairly unique; that is, no other series is too similar to it. I just hope that they don't beat the dead horse with this iteration.

PS. also wanted to commend CA's ability to reproduce the feeling of culture for any era and region they base their games on - amazing.

looks amazing but if those are screenshots, then lots of people are going to need to upgrade their rigs

@jenova you smart and logical SOB

@slonekb05

but that wouldn't solve the problem, just move the spawnkill point forwards so everyone is dying once they exit that point. It's hard I know...

for some reason, I liked Ada's character model in RE4 better
