Assassin's Creed

Watched each Assassin's Creed walkthrough or movie this weekend:

1. Assassin's Creed
2. Assassin's Creed II
3. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
4. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
5. Assassin's Creed III
6. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

I slept wrong on my neck last Wednesday evening and woke up in no insignificant amount of pain on Thursday/Friday. x_x So spent a lot of time sitting around wanting something mindless to watch. 

I enjoyed watching them--and actually had a chance to say, "Bene, bene" to a food service employee this evening.

Loved the scenery and the climbing. The game takes some liberties with the superhuman strength and dexterity, but it makes for more entertaining gameplay. The first game seemed really repetitive and I thought the interrogation scenes way more violent than necessary (seriously? kill someone just because the main bad guy forced them to make speeches?).

Lucy's death seemed a bit unexpected and forced. 

The ~35 minute movie, Assassin's Creed: Lineage, seemed cool, in the sense that the people in it looked exactly like their in-game counterparts. 

The boat scenes in Black Flag seemed pretty cool.

The part I enjoyed the best: the way the series handles right/wrong, good/bad. It shows compassion for many of the Templar and Assassin actors and shows most actions in the grey area.
