Rate the Game: Week 89

**M-A-G** · 12-14-2021, 08:25 AM

Here's to another week, ladies and gentlemen! We're deep in the heart of December and while it may be tempting to remain warm and toasty in bed to avoid the cold but we have responsibilities to take care of! Like Rate the Game. I think I've kept this iteration going longer than when I first started it way back when. Before we dive into the 89th game let's put last week's Gauntlet in its proper place on the leaderboard. How does the arcade hit stack up to the competition here on TPWW?

Well thankfully I don't have to do much editing to the list this week. Gauntlet can't quite get over the hump with its average score of 2.71. It falls on the lower end of the spectrum with the dregs of this collection of games but it can at least share the number 80 spot with Dead Rising, so that's something, I guess. Maybe this week's game will cause me to do more work to the list than I did this week. Whatever shall it be? Once again, the bowl must be summoned!!!

Hmm. I was wondering when we'd get to this one. I know I addressed this in another thread of my own but the time has come for it to face its turn at the barrel here on Rate the Game. We look back at the first entry in one of Ubisoft's most well-known franchises, the Templar-slashing, time-traveling, stealthy adventure Assassin's Creed! How did this first entry fare in your eyes? How well did it set the tone? Is it a classic or is it a waste? Let's do a deep dive into this sucker and rate it and see how it stacks up to the rest. Take the poll and discuss and share and keep on trucking in December. Until next week!
