Assassin's Creed is a total enigma of a game for me. I simply cannot disagree with any of the points in Tom's review; it's a classic example of developers getting lost in their own cleverness to the detriment of the core gameplay. The basic notion that you've seen all but one of the sub-missions by the time you've completed the first assassination is a chilling fact about the sheer lack of variety Ubisoft Montreal has offered up in piece of software that is otherwise revolutionary.

yes, but to a certain extent the point here is not how good a game is or isn't, but how well a game will sell. Yes, the latter is partially affected by the former, but the influence has a limit. There are plenty of cases where bad games sell well simply because of a name, or hype. This game has already been selling extremely well, and I expect that to continue. Sure, had the game been better we may have been looking at a 10 million selling blockbuster, but there was enough hype around the game, and enouogh good reviews from popular sources (GameInformer, the best selling game magazine, gave it a 9) that I consider this stock extremely underpriced at less then 200 DKP.
