Definitely a more powerful game than it's ancestor. Though I do miss landing on random worlds and wandering the Citadel, this game fixes errors and provides a polished finish. A superb game and worth the download.

I enjoyed Assassin's Creed, AC2 added a greater dimension, and though Brotherhood isn't without it's faults it's a terrific sequel. The multiplayer adds a fresh dimension, and taking out tough situations with aid from fellow assassins works to speed up the slower parts from prior games.
I will relish the sequel.

Civ V is a great way to spend some time. I do miss absorbing opponent cities with culture and the spies (and yes, even the religions) from Civ IV. But the rate this game adds DLC I'm certain we'll see an expansion coming soon that will add in some goodies.
I plan on getting a hot seat day in soon!
