In other words, because of the fact they focused gameplay on fun and just plain awesomeness (rather than the typical repetitive missions and rote missions), their latest title, Prototype proved itself even against …
The original Assassin’s Creed was one of my favourite games and I am possibly more excited about Assassin’s Creed 2 than I am for Modern Warfare 2… but then again they are so different it’s hard to choose.
