Kicking off in 2007 with the run-jump-stabby-stabby of the original Assassin's Creed, this epic series is just about the only reason we care about history and Italian people. The second game's hero, Ezio, is easily the biggest Renaissance badass of all time. Going from carefree womanising playboy to grim hooded killer over the course of giant game, the recent Assassin's Creed: Revelations wraps up his saga with an onslaught of hidden blades and poison bombs. Not to worry: Ubi have already announced a new AssCreed for 2012.
