Would it be at all possible to get a picture of the game cover and maybe some snapshots of gameplay added to this entry?

Well done for rewriting this Entry, in such a short time as well.

We'd really welcome a photograph of the game itself, if you could take a clear shot and send it to us. The address for images in [email protected] There's an upper limit of 4mb per email. Or if you have flickr you can share them that way with us. Just give us the link.

As for screenshots of the game play, we have to obtain permission to use them. But this is usually obtainable, so save them and send them to us in the same way.

Thank you so much. I have sent you the pictures for this entry.

Quick read over, this rather

I'll give it a proper read through on the morrrow.

Thank you everyone for your help and advice.. I'm quite impressed with myself. I've never been much of a writer, but at least here, I can write more and it have a purpose, maybe my wife won't mind so much about my computer time id I'm not playing so many games and I'm actually being smart for once

Hi and welcome to Peer Review

I'm a gamer but have never played Assassin's Creed. I only know what I have seen in a few trailers.

I will comment as I read...

For me, your first paragraph is quite confusing. Why are you working in an 'anti-Assassins' company if the story is about playing an Assassin? What have the Templars to do with it? I didn't even know there are Templars in Assassin's Creed. What use do the desk and computer have to me in the game? The way you mention them it seems like they are very imporant. How can anyone 'dive into the past' and why do they do it?

I think first of all you should make clear that the Entry is about a computer game. Not everyone may know that.

In the following paragraphs you give some basic information about the game, that's good. There are some more things you should answer in this part:
when was the game released?
who developed it?
tell a bit more about the whole series, general themes and story, for those like me who never played any of them
what is a 'Season Pass'?
When you first mention the Jackdaw say that it's a ship which you own in the game. It's fine to give a more detailed description later on. In the next paragraph you do this, but I don't think it's the right place, you should tell more about the ship later and not in the Introduction. It seems like too much detailed information here.

I think the Character section is a bit short. Either expand it or put the paragraph that is in it somewhere into the 'Story' part.
Also, is the Assassin Order something like the Guild of Assassins on Discworld?

There's lots of information in the part about the Story, unfortunately none of it really told me what the story is about. Is it just randomly killing people or is there some lareger overall purpose in doing it? What's the campaign about? And how does it all fit to the modern office you mention right at the start of the Entry?

'Not all of these collection projects are worth pursuing...'
Which collection projects?

The Features section seems a bit short, also the things you said about the Jackdaw earlier belong here, I think. You should either expand this section or combine it with something else. Maybe put this into the 'More Information' section?

I'm not sure if the system requirements information is really needed. I don't think it's interesting enough to serve as a final paragraph for this Entry, it's something people can check out on the box if they want to buy the game. Not sure if others here disagree with this. A view on what the game is about and what makes it special and why we should or should not play it is much more interesting than a few numbers.

I hope this wasn't too much for you and is of some help.

I agree with Tav about the system requirements. If the game is popular, there will probably be versions of it for different machines, and they will all have different requirements.

I remember the start of the first Assassin's Creed had a crazy backstory set in the present or near future about retrieving memories by sending someone back to the time of the Assassins (who were a real group in the Middle Ages). I ignored the back story, and I think most people did too.

Definitely looks like RandomKid ed...

Agreed - I'd like to propose the Flea Market.

I agree.
