As an open-world stealth game, the original Assassin's Creed's promise was incomplete. So, to marginalize it as a glorified tech demo, like so many critics have, wouldn't exactly be considered unfair. Sure, the sneaking mechanics and spy missions were a tad under-baked, but still, the foundation of Ubisoft's flagship franchise was nigh fully formed upon debut.It was Assassin's Creed's motion mechanics that took the world by storm. At the time, the French art of free-running, known as Parkour, had found its legs in acrobatic action films like District 13 and Youtube's limitless supply of homemade stunt videos, but video games had sparked little such inspiration. Dynamically climbing in-game architecture is now a staple for action games everywhere. Infamous. Mirror's Edge. Sunset Overdrive. Dying Light (again). Watch Dogs. Ubisoft is keen to reclaim the stealth-ninja throne this November with the retooled, new-gen exclusive, Assassin's Creed Unity.
Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive." He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
