Assassin's Creed is a historical fantasy/science fiction third person action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released worldwide in November 2007 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,[2] and April 2008 for PCs. The game centers on the use of a machine named the "Animus", which allows the viewing of the protagonist's genetic memories of his ancestors.

Through this plot device, details emerge of a struggle between two factions, the Knights Templar and the Assassins, over an artifact known as a "Piece of Eden" and the game primarily takes place during the Third Crusade in the Holy Land in 1191. The game received generally positive reviews, and won several awards at E3 in 2006. A sequel, Assassin's Creed II, was released in November 2009.

Note: Personal Comments

1. Assassins (as in Hashashin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashshashin)
2. Chistian Crusaders (as in Cross)
3. Muslim Saracens

What do I see here?....................1191------------2012?

Looks strikingly similar to the present scenario in the Middle East 'theater'.

Could this be subliminal programing for recruiting more soldiers for the war?

You know, get them to fight before they even leave home?

Assassins vs Christian Crusaders vs Muslim Saracens?....
Piece of Eden?---How about a piece of Salem as in Jeru-Salem?

Knights Templars?.... (1191)
(2012) Knights of St. John Hospitalers, or Sovereign Military Order of Malta?

It sure looks like home-based basic-training, to me.

Don't they train "drone pilots" with video games? .

Arsenio.
