How to forget the peaks of finishing the fight on “ Halo 3.” The kindly twists of “ Bioshock.” The multiplayer revolution of “ Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.” Uncovering Sir Francis Drake’s treasure in “ Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.” Adventuring through the galaxy spanning adventures of “ Super Mario Galaxy.” Saving humanity of impending extinction with “ Mass Effect.” More importantly, the time hopping assassinations of secret society members during the Crusades of the Holy Land in “ Assassin’s Creed.”īack in this legendary period of time, no other new franchise looked as alluring and intriguing as “ Assassin’s Creed.” Here was a new game from Ubisoft (the makers of franchises like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia), introducing a new breed of “pseudo stealth-action” in a time period rarely seen in games. 15 years later, one can trace back to this specific moment in time to witness both the peak of many longtime franchises and the birth of many generational defining classics.

The Fall/Holiday of 2007 will go down in history as one of the greatest gaming periods ever.
