Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines

To play Bloodlines is to witness a revolution shrunk to a small screen, stripped of its soul. Cyprus is not a vibrant battleground but a zone of non-being, populated by silent ghosts. The violence lacks the cathartic force of true decolonization; it is merely a rote, bureaucratic exercise. We march not as liberators, but as tired workers on a digital assembly line. It mimics the gestures of an epic but lacks the material conditions to realize them—a hollow simulation of freedom. - Full Review

I was pleasantly surprised by this. No, it's not as good as most of the mainline Assassin's Creed games, but considering the fact that it's a PSP game, it's a lot better than it could have been. It legitimately feels like a full scale Assassin's Creed game, if it were modified to be possible on a PS2, so instead of one big map per city, it's cut into sections, but otherwise is nearly identical in gameplay to AC1. Story isn't quite as good, but a nice expansion on Altair's life.
