Assassin`s Creed for the Xbox 360 is very interesting, and quite a challenge for my gaming style. Steeped in history, Assassin`s Creed is set in Jerusalem in 1191 against during The Third Crusade.

Assassin`s Creed is a stealth-based game where your opponents react to your actions. Depending upon the way your character moves and the circumstances your character may or may not remain undiscovered. As your character is an Assassin the power of “blending into the crowd” is very important, after all an assassin who’s drawn attention to himself is close to death – unless the circumstances favor him.

As an example, when approaching an assassination target its best to first deal with hostiles around him or her first. If you attack a target with many men surrounding him and get killed you don’t get credit for the kill, and will have to try again.

TIPS:

When you are in the cities, the rooftops are your friend – your best friend.
Watch for hiding spots while walking around, and you can find them on your map.
Blend, blend, blend, enough said. Well, okay one more bit – after killing a guard with the hidden blade, even with another guard nearby, if you time the kill right you can go right into blend mode and walk off quietly.
