AC1 was the Crusades, and I liked it a lot. The gameplay got a little 
repetitive, but it was a good game.

AC2 was somewhere in Italy, and it's very hard to take comedy Italian 
accents seriously. Still, the game had much more variation. (The whole 
town renovation bit was a tad unnecessary though.)

 From what I've seen, the next THREE games are all the same guy, in the 
same setting. And that's why I haven't bought any of them. I don't want 
to go to Italy again; I want to go somewhere different.

(And yes, the game is now a series, so every episode has to end with 
nothing resolved so that the inevitable next game has a story to tell...)

Who knows? Maybe if the games get cheap enough, I might buy one.

(Oh yeah, I forgot: can't buy them on Steam either. That's gotta be 
another big reason why I didn't purchase...)
