I really liked the first couple of those games. But IMO they have gone way overboard now. Casting Pirates and Vikings as the misunderstood good guys I think is taking it a bit far. They are both also not good examples of stealthy assassins. I saw the ad for the latest game and my least favorite moment is when he (the VIKING) uses the hidden blade to defeat the big knight. (a VIKING using a hidden, mechanized blade... humph)
