Assassin's Creed


Assassin’s Creed was definitely hyped at launch for its new game mechanics, like the free-running and the open environment. They’re definitely good, as it is incredibly “cool” when you jump across a gap between buildings for the first time. Or when you dive off a building and land safely in a pile of hay. And I loved it when I saved an innocent civilian from torture at the hands of the local guards. But there’s one thing I don’t get with this game: It’s incredibly easy. Once you gain the ability to counterattack, the game loses its challenge. I found myself taking on more than ten enemies, and winning easily. It’s so easy, it even feels like you’re cheating. The final battle is harder, but it’s still not what I would call hard. But there is one thing that saves this game: the visuals. The game world is so believable that I found myself forgetting the flaws and just enjoying the game. The story is good too, with some interesting plot twists that you don’t see coming, in addition to the ones that the story tells if you pay close attention. I found that if I treated the game more as an interactive movie, it all made sense – especially if Altaïr was the Jackie Chan of the Crusades.


My verdict: 8/10


Pros: Open world, good story, good visuals, free-running is cool.

Cons: Way too easy

Bottom line: The game you want if you enjoy being an ethical assassin.

Quad Core vs. Dual Core


One of the most thought after questions of modern time is what I should get, a quad core or a dual core. This guide explains the pros and cons of each, and helps you decide which one is better suited for your needs.

The main factor in deciding which one you want to get is when the next time is you will be getting a new computer. If the time is in about a year, than go with a dual core. This is because as of right now, not many programs are optimized for quad cores. This means that even though you have a quad core, the program will only use 1 or 2 cores, or the other 2 cores will be idle. If you won’t be upgrading your computer for a few years, then it is recommended to get a quad core. In a few years, almost all applications should be able to take advantage of four cores.
Another factor is what you want to be doing with your computer. Do you only browse the web, and play games. Or, do you encode video, and multitask. Most games only take advantage of 2 cores, so again the other 2 will be idle. Web browsing uses so little CPU that there is no point of having a quad core. If you encode or convert video, it is highly recommended you get a quad core. This is because encoding videos use all 4 cores. This means that you will see huge performance gains in computers with a Quad Core.

Hopefully this guide will help clear things up a bit when you are deciding on if you want a Dual Core or a Quad Core. If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them on the comments section.
