18 Video Game Moments That Gave You Memories For Life

8. "How D'ya Like Them Apples?" - Assassin's Creed III

It's a toss-up when it comes to Assassin's Creed most memorable moments (forgoing the horrific 'faceless man' from Unity, of course), as meeting up with Minerva for the first time in AC II was truly one of the most mind-boggling revelations of all.

However, whilst her reveal came from a game that was already dabbling in supernatural and sci-fi elements, AC III's switcheroo of showing that your character was actually a Templar, dug a jibe at your kidneys specifically because the achievement that popped up was called "How D'ya Like Them Apples?"

You'd spent hours beforehand playing as Haytham Kenway, wondering why the guy from the press materials wasn't in the game itself, although it served as a pretty crafty way to introduce the fact that the Templars were just as capable as the Assassins when it came to acrobatics and ideals. Although, in doing so, it also marked the point in the franchise where Ubisoft lost all semblance of knowing where the hell it was all heading.
