An unusual side-effect to Jason’s wisdom teeth surgery has made him the perfect candidate to be a James Bond villain. At the very least, it doesn’t stop him and the gang from discussing all things related to the holiday season and Ikea Monkey. We also talk about the games we’ve been playing, which includes Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, Assassin’s Creed III, Trine 2: Director’s Cut and a whole lot more.

Ambition hasn’t been part of the Assassin’s Creed playbook for awhile now. Ever since Ezio’s debut, the last two spin-off titles felt like cash-grabs to strike while the iron’s hot. They didn’t do much to push the story forward, and their gameplay innovations varied wildly from great (the ability to call out fellow assassin’s for help) to bafflingly awful (tower defence). Though I’ve gotten some enjoyment out of these two games (more the first than the second), I’ve been waiting with bated breath for the real next step in the series.
Sporting a new world, a new main character and numerous revisions to its gameplay, Assassin’s Creed III has no shortage of ambition. In fact, had it delivered on everything it set out to do, this really could have been one of the best games ever. Unfortunately, this same ambition is the root cause of its many shortcomings.
