I will never not love this game. Sure now it feels dated and vastly inferior to it's direct sequel and the rest of the Desmond saga, but for its time, Assassin's Creed was a wholly unique experience, even compared to the Prince of Persia series that it was originally intended to spin out from. With a vast world to explore and an engrossing play-style that really made you really feel like a sneeky assassin able to kill anyone in a crowd, it still amazes me to this day that only 6 years after 9/11 we got a big-budget triple-A game about a middle-Eastern man on a holy mission to stop Christians trying to destroy his order during the Crusades.
