Nothing is true, Everything is permitted...

Damn i like this quote.. this quote originally comes in arabic:
"ليس هناك ما هو صحيح ، كل شيء مسموح به" "Laa shay'a waqui'n moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine." ―Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad..

In Assassin's Creed this quote is the creed's maxim and primary guideline. Though there is some discussion going on about how the english translated quote is not the exact match of the arabic one. Some says that the exact match is "Nothing is absolute, everything is possible" and there's also other version of interpretation..


Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

What's more suprising is this quote is said to come from a real assassin by the name of Hassan-i Sabbah during the 11th century (1000's).. :O
He founded a group whose members are sometimes referred to as the Hashshashin or Assassins. The quote means that nothing anyone says about how we should be or should act is true, and that everything we could ever think of doing within the realm of actual possibility in this physical reality is permitted to happen, and so it does.

I'm amazed!! This game even created its own version of history combined with actual history, saying that the actual history is a scheme made known to public by the templars.. (what a creative mind, but history can be created by some people.. you'll never know unless you live through it)

Anyway i like the Assassin's Creed series (captivated by it), although the 1st one "Assassin's Creed" is a bit boring (because of mission repetition) but the 2nd "Assassin's Creed II" takes it to a whole new level and now the 3rd "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" or you can say 2.5 (its kinda weird i know) is even more exciting.. i love the storyline and the plot of this francise.. Can't wait for the next Assassin's Creed which is due on 2012 (2 years? damn!!) so i'll just wait patiently and hope it will excite me again in the next one.. Any gamers out there should try this game, who knows maybe you'll be captivated too.. =P

Aside from Assassin's Creed: Brothehood, i also finish playing Fable III and Call of Duty: Black Ops.. The CoD Black Ops is a FPS game and its quite challenging (can only play on normal difficulty), the plot is thick and sometimes quite confusing, Fable III is an Action RPG just like its predecessor with a new story (just mention a bit of the 2nd one) and a little of upgrade..

Next target is Front Mission Evolved, hope that it can be finished 2-3 days the most (already play it on my lappy but still not finish) and then on to Lost Odyssey (4 disc hahaha)..
