The Creed of Assassins

Assassins Creed, the latest offering from Ubisoft, looks absolutely phenonemal. People raved about Gears of War, and rightly so, but now it is out - Assassin's Creed deserves as much attention.

In it you play an assassin during medieval times, a similar game to their popular Prince of Persia series. I recommend watching the videos to better describe it.

Voting for nature

I've posted this on my main web development blog too, but feel I should post it here too.

Publicity for organisations that are trying to save the worlds species is a good thing; but not in the manor that ITV are now trying. ITV, a British TV channel, has a new program called "Extinct" to raise awareness of 8 species that are dying out and will soon be extinct - to this I say well done, something should be done and the fact that they are trying is commendable. What I totally disagree with though is the way they are going about it - they are asking the viewing public to vote for which animal to save. That is just wrong, it's not the X-Factor, or some other talent contest, we're talking about lives here. They should all be saved. Grow up ITV - dumbing down television is one thing, but this is just sheer stupidity.

The Gears of War

Just days ago I bought an Xbox 360 bundle that came with Gears of War. Yesterday, after about 7-8 hours gane play I completed it. Absolutely brilliant game - they paid so much attention to detail, it's just a shame it's quite short.
