Assassins Creed : Brotherhood Review (Single Player)

"The Liberation of Rome has begun"

Developer : Ubisoft Montreal              Publisher : Ubisoft
Series : Assassins Creed                        Genre : Historic Action-Adventure
                     Game engine : Anvil,Havok(Physics Engine)

                    Nothing that extraordinary improvements from AC2 to Brotherhood, Brotherhood looks like an expansion to AC2.But it won't bored you for sure, and storyline won't disappoint you either.

Storyline : Assassin Creed Brotherhood begins at the same point where AC2 ended.Desmond and Co. are busy getting deeper in Ezio's life to find the probable position of the Apple of Eden.Meanwhile,Ezio is back to Monteriggioni after his adventurous journey to rome.The next morning itself Monteriggioni is invaded by Borgia's Son Cesare.In ruins, defeated Ezio springs back to Rome for vengeance and to restored his fallen assassin Brotherhood.

Looks : The Looks and basic feel of the game is exactly like Assassins Creed 2.No modifications in graphics, but whole game is based in Rome.The city has beeen design nicely with all the major monuments like Colossoluem.

Gameplay : If you loved AC2(which I am damn sure you will), you are bound are to loved brotherhood too.Imagine upgrading Assassins Creed 2, with new city,weapons and add to it your own pack of assassins = you get Brotherhood.We get to play only one city Roma but that city is large enough.We are allowed to ride horses inside the city also(tats ovbious right ;) ) plus there are various tunnels entrances avaialble for fast travel from one location to another.

               

                   Another area of improvement is weapons and combat.We get new weapons such as CrossBow (poor man's sniper),poison darts and also provision to carry heavy weapons  permanently.Developers have made combat more intense and quick in Brotherhood (But itz still easy - counterattack FTW ! ).But most significant difference between AC2 and ACB , is the presense of Brotherhood itself.Yo can recruit assassins, train them by sending them to carry out special missions.Recruited Assasins who are not on mission can be called anytime you want to kick Borgia guards asses.

 

                    The main quest is short and won't take long to complete unless you keep yourself busy with side quests.Wide range of side quests are available such as courtesians missions,templar agents missions,assassins targets,glyphs for Truth etc.There are also tasks involving buying shops and burning towers to reduce Borgia influence in rome.But the best i found was the Cristina memory quests.It uncovers the events taken place in AC2.Best thing we get to play as young Ezio in those memories.Memories are short and easy but deepens the story of Ezio(MUST PLAY).

Overall - AC Brotherhood is nice game (better to call it expansion of AC2 ). It is must if you are keen on the AC story,because brotherhood contains many events and hints will are bound to be crucial in final installment Assassins Creed Revealations.

RATING : 7.8 /10

Butterfly Effect and Destiny

      Butterfly Effect and Destiny are most of the times are confused, n are thought to be never co-existing.First for those who don't know. Destiny can be defined ( kk, i am sounding like a nerd now ) as ultimate achievement or milestone of your life. Butterfly effect is how one event leads or gives rise to another event in our lives.To elaborate more, even the smallest event happening today can give rise to a large event in distinct future.
      Now about Destiny, some people believe in it some don't.Most common concept is Destiny is fixed and must happen (as they destiny is written in your blood). But since due to some goof-ups and downs in life, people lose in the concept of faith.If you ask me , I am partial believer in such stuff.Destiny is for real but it is more general not specific.There may be many versions of it.For example let us take example of a guy called letz say Ted who is bound to get surrounded by lots n lots of money ( yaaaaaa written in blood , call it his destiny stuff ). Now destiny is bound to happen in normal conditions with atleast one of the version.We will discuss abnormal conditions ( which hardly happen ) at end of the article. The versions as by our example can be - the guy ends up as rich businessman or end up as a clerk in bank or gangster,fraud or (...there can be lot more letz just concentrate on 3 for now).So whichever version Ted ends up becoming,his Destiny is still valid. So we can say Destiny is really written for you .So what when destiny is attained? Well,there may be lot of significant accomplishments or milestones - so can be many such destinies which unlocks when one destiny is attained.
       Now about the versions - good,bad,neutral etc will depend on the path we chose.This i where ButterFly Effect comes into the picture.Let consider Ted studies hard => good to every1 => gets good job = >becomes a business man .Or  he turns to bad ways n becomes finally a gangster. So Butterfly effect plays very important role in every1;'s life. It is because of it how we become friends due to small events and people fall in love and so on.
       Now if it is feeling more like some crazy astrology or too much unscientific, try to think like this.Think of destinies as methods, and life as a program consisting of many if else loops and methods and so on.Now if else part is butterfly effect , if you do this you get to do this.So its gonna b really complex program having many loops and path and that too interconnected.A truly programming masterpiece - n only world's greatest programmer can do it - GOD itself.
      The last part as I said earlier abnormal conditions (bugs or errors in programming terms ;) ).These are events which are even not plan by God (programmer).Bugs and errors lead to unstable program - program as a whole even though there is problem in a single line of code.Similarly , even one abnormal condition or event can lead to whole universe getting unstable. So solution - exceptions...remember try catch.......better watch Donnie Darko.

LOST - Short Story

Can't think of appropriate title ,suggestions are welcome.Hope you all will like the story.

Still lying on the ground, Mark finally opened finally opened his eyes slowly.Everything seem blur.Mark muttered,

"God, My head ! feeling so dizzy."

It took few seconds for him to get on his knees , but he was still confused.The environment was in ruins,pieces of rubble and glass shards scatter everywhere in the dark.Then he cast again a look at the ground and was horrified,

What the F !!!

Blood was flowing from a nearby human torso.Mark 's blood already ran cold, the dead body was with its face down.Gathering courage Mark toook few steps towards it,and he was stopped by a voice behind

"Its all done,We got to leave now"

He saw behind a Man in his forties,His clothes and gun hanging from his vest were pure indications he was a gangster.

"Heyy Who are you? Whats going on in here, OH my head, itz getting worst"

"We need to leave now,itz over.Come with me"

"I am not coming with you,Who is this guy ? You murdered him right"

The gangster just smiled,

"Well, take it easy buddy, that was just an accident,I didn't intend too"

"You stay away from me"

Suddenly there was noise of police sirens and police shouting behind the main door.

The gangster replied,

"Letz just move ok, we have plenty of time later to talk about all these"

"Through the main door,Police are already there idiot,and this is a murder scene"

"You are so funny, They cannot do anything to us, no one can"

"You deserve to die,but I don't,I got a family, and I am just not dying",

Saying so Mark jumped out of the nearby window.

The fall was about two storey, but surprisingly , Mark wasn't hurt much.He checked the time on his wrist watch.And he remembered sumthing shocking

"Andy hell, he was with me today.Please god don't say that dead body was of Andy"

He quickly thrown in memories of Andy.Andy was hi dearest neighbour and his best friend.

Mark bursts into tears ,but quickly gather faith.Perhaps it was not Andy, I have to get to his house.

He started stelthly walking on the streets and sumthing catch his eyes in tv shop

News segment was going on

"Followed by an explosion in Red Goose Hotel , police are still hunting for the culprit.Only evidence the police has found till now is of a man named Mark Thurber.

Mark slowly reached for his pockets

Crap, they found my wallet, now they will think i was the suspect.

Mark hurriedly got away from there because the news channel was flashing his photo now.

Hell this is a bad day.I have to do something.Prove to the world that i am innocent then only i can go home.

He saw police station on other side of the lane.Enough of running away, time to face your problems and let everyone learn the truth.He marched slowly into the buliding.Surprisingly a single cop was there taking a nap.

He went near him and said

"Sir"

the cop was still sleepy

"Sir, pls listen',Mark said pushing him little

The cop finally open his eyes slowly murmuring

Who the hell is this

"Sir,my name is Mark thurber,I came from that red goose hotel which was exploded few minutes ago.But I swear I didn't do anything.Instead I have seen the man who did it, I can make a sketch of him and can be your witness.Please help me, i m innocent."

the cop stood blankly staring at him and dozed off again.

Now mark had already lost his temper,The night had already taken his toll.

He lifted the gun and shouted,

"Plz can u pay attention to what i am saying for heavens sake !"

The cop woke up frightened and hurriedly ran inside a nearby room locking it from inside.

Mark was now completely frustrated,

"Great , I am all alone"

At one instant,Mark thought of shooting himself and ending everything.But then he thought of his wife.I have to get to her,atleast she would understand me.He went to his house,just few yards away and he saw a queue of people.It was a funeral.

Mark cursed again,

Oh God,It was Andy, I lost him.I had his killer infront of me and I let that bastard go alive.

He carefully went through the bushes at the rear side of the house.He was not going to risk of letting people know of his presence atleast for some time.At rear window,He saw familiar figure and he smile after what seem like a lifetime.

His Wife was near the window only sobbing.

"Lucy,Its me Mark"

Lucy started crying hard,

"Why you keep coming.They have told me everything about you.Why Mark ? Why?"

"Lucy pls,"Mark cried behind the closed window"Please Believe me, I am innocent ,I swear I didn't do anything,Please let me in,I will explain everything"

"No, pls go ,get out of here, Leave me alone plss, stop getting over my mind"Lucy cried loudly 

again sobbing even worst.She took a nearby vase and threw at the window.Mark duck down quickly,just miss he thought.He got up to find his wife disappeared,Perhaps she had gone to the main hall of the house.

Slowly Mark climb in through the broken window.He slowly turned the knob of the door towards main hall, and he could see coffin and people surrounding it.The thought of Andy made him sad again.Then the next vision shook him off the ground.He saw Andy with bandages around his head entering the hall.Now Mark's head was spinning,what the hell is happening,He just ran towards the coffin now hurriedly pushing across the people and then he saw Lucy crying at his feet in the coffin.

He took one step back and saw the News segment going on the TV.

"Today a bomb blast striked Red Goose Hotel killing two people and injuring several others.The two bodies have been identified.One is of them is Roger Brown,who was the robber who carried out the act and other body is of a civilian named Mark Thurber"

Mark took few steps ahead in a state of shock.

Roger Brown,the gangster was standing at the door

"I told you no one can do us a thing,We are already dead mate !"
