Progress 10/11

Time to finally put Assassin's Creed to bed for Round 3. For some reason I just never got around to playing it. So, here we go:

There are a couple of minor things I can do that put together will constitute a checkmark. First, I can save another citizen from being pushed around. That's a fun sword fight. I truly almost screw it up after I leap in, in dramatic fashion with my small wrist knife and kill the first one. But then I don't get my sword out in time and the other thugs start wailing on me. My only chance is to rush away, which allows other guards to involve themselves. But I get my sword out. Now it's my turn hoo hah! I whack-a-mole them one at a time, slicing and dicing until they are all dead. The helpless woman I saved thanks me, and some vigilantes take up position. They'll be very helpful later.

Now for part two, which is to climb to the top of a tower to get another Eagle View of the city. There is a guard blocking where I need to go, and no way to sneak around him. We engage in a quality dual on the top of a roof, very cool. Finally I stab him through the heart. That's what you get for doing your job, sucker!

Checkmark Achieved. That's it for the Rockstar Category games for round 3, unlocking them all for round 4. Only that damn Ace mission in Mercenaries to go before Round 3 is a wrap!

Time for a Shooter: Fallout 3! Okay, so I blew up all of the generators. I head back to the Engine Room, to find my crew under siege from some alien scumbags! We kill them all, but poor Endicott gets it in the head. He's dead! NOOOOOOOO! He. Was. Such. A. Nice. Guy!

I have to put on the spaceship and go out onto the ship to find a way to activate the teleportation systems that were turned off. I run around on the top of the ship. One time, I fall off and float awaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Re-Boot! I press some doohickeys on the outside of the ship, and get teleported back inside. My crew follows me, and we head into an observation room. The big alien nasty guy growls at us in his indecipherable language, then points a Death Ray at Planet Earth! Uht Oh. Looks like we're not leaving quite yet.

I'll have to disable the death ray, and presumably kill the big boss. But, that's for next round.

This is a story progression checkmark. Yee-Ahhh!
