I love Assassin's Creed III, the best AC game I ever played, and I love Connor, I also like Desmond and the future stuff, but I don't want it to overshadow the historical settings, still the modern part is a strong part of AC to me.
but it doesn't stop there, nope
I actually love Splinter Cell Conviction, that doesn't say I don't see its flaws, or didn't want more stealth options, but I always find myself defending SCC so much, heck I even defended M&E, but I am not sure about Blacklist, the new voice actor and the basterdiazation of Sam Fisher by making him younger and immortal, meeeeeeeeeeh.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow is my favorite hack n slash game ever, blow me off, better than God of War and Devil May Cry, but I know for sure Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 will eclipse all the other games, and I don't like Bayonetta that much.
