Yahtzee's reviews are great. I really want to play this game and am thinking about signing up for GameFly. Does anyone else use GameFly, and if so how would you rate their service?

I have GameFly, it would be much better if I lived closer to one of the distribution centers, but I'm in Florida so I have to wait for them to send/receive it from their California warehouse for some reason. I like the interface of their site, but I heard Gameznflix is better. I like the option of buying every game for like $35 after you rent it, it's a great way to build a gaming collection if you're into that.

Haven't played Assassin's yet, still into H3 and now Rock Band. I've got GameFly sending me Assassin's next month some time.

Gamefly is great, but you'll have to wait a while to get games unlike say Netflix which is like next day. This is mainly because Netflix has a center in every major city almost. The wait from sending to getting a new one is about a week for me in middle america.

Yeah, what Hexx said. Takes forever to get the games in. But I think it's beneficial right now, cause I can rent Assassins Creed, then when I'm done playing it, it won't have many benefits because there's no MP, so I'll send it in for Mass Effect. I think it's cheaper than buying the game, then going to EB and getting ripped off for trading it in. I think I'll keep Gamefly till GTAIV comes out, then I'll quit.

I'd agree with the comments above: it's best if you live near one of the distribution centers and they send your games from there.

I signed up when there was just the one in California and that sucked (I live outside Indianapolis). I got lucky and got into the beta for the Pittsburgh center, and that made a huge difference - pretty much everything arrives within a week (2 days each way). That's not bad if you use it for backup games or if you are on one of the bigger plans (I'm on the 3-game plan). I usually have one good game out, one achievement-whore game, and then I rotate games in the third spot when I see something I like.

Considering he doesn't play multiplayer he'll probably walk all over the game.. then again the multiplayer dies down once you realize how little rewarding playing through, leveling up and unlocking things is. Single-player was fantastic though, even if it did suffer from being short.

assassins creed is a great game. I dont know why its become cool to say its not, but if you actually play the thing youll see how great it is. When I first started playing I felt like I wasted 60 bucks, then after giving it a chance I started to appreciate all the GREAT aspects of the game instead of focusing on what it doesnt have. I cant watch this review cause Im at work with no speakers but if this dude says its good, maybe youll belive him.

combo kills, FTW!!

I agree with him completely..great game and this was hilarious:). The one glaring annoyance that Assassin's Creed has is that you do have to start each (f-ing) level at that damn(f-ing) mountain city (Masayaf..sp), and Zero seems to agree with me.

Kill the beggars and dirty peasants!

(BTW if you endeavor to beat the game like I did, stick around after the credits. Unlike Halo 3, this time you get Gamerscore for doing so.)

It's cool to say how bad Assassins Creed is, because..well...it's pretty bad. You spend most of your time, as Yahtzee implied, dicking around, and not enough time assassinating people. The Sci-Fi story also dicks up the entire experience, since, well, Sci-Fi is played out and I was hoping for a game that was...you know...actually set in the middle ages. Not to mention that the voice acting is horrible, the hours of tutorials are horrible, and the combat is horrible. I'm glad I rented it before buying it, and didn't let the Jade Raymond trap get me like most everyone else. I did have fun though...for the 10 minutes I was actually F'ing slaying.

I'm ultra excited for the sequel. Step 1 is dump voice actors. Step 2 is make the combat less tedious. Step 3 is double the amount of people you get to whack, and Step 4 is...mmm...that'd probably turn the game into a 9.5 out of 10 right there.

What a great review - didn't know about Yahtzee so thanks for the intro. Glad to hear this will be a weekly occurrence.

As far as AC - I enjoyed the game but as Yahtzee stated in his review it is very repetitive. There was a lot of hype on this one, mainly generated from the visually stunning demos/trailers/etc.
