Assassin’s Creed for PC and PS3 is an action game focusing on stealth. As it's creators have previously developed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, it isn’t surprising that both games have much in common.

Plot

The game takes us to the age of The Third Crusade, led by British king, Richard the Lionheart, showing the events that took place in the Holy Land at the time. We play as Altair, a member of the mysterious Order of Assassins, an organization that cares neither about political nor religious affairs and doesn’t take anyone’s side in the war. As Altair ibn-La'Ahad, a very talented but arrogant young man, who, after a failure brought upon by his disobedience, we have to regain our place in the community by proving our understanding of the code that binds the assassins as a brotherhood. Our quest leads us to uncovering secrets that could change the fate of humanity.
