I'm on the eight Assassin mission of Assassin's Creed, out of nine. So far, it's a fairly good game, and very pretty to look at. But Ubisoft really needed to think the design through a bit more when it comes to investigating the targets and give the NPCs some more varied dialogue. Even if you're in Arab-Controlled Damascus, Hebrew-Controlled Jerusalem, or European-controlled Acre, you'll hear NPCs you rescue say the exact same thank you lines.

I'll try and pick up Super Mario Galaxy next week once my classes start up and I'm on the commercial side of town every day.
