Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PlayStation 3)

As an assassin, you can crawl through heavy vegetation unseen and pop up to initiate combat.

Black Flag does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of lawlessness of the world British rule in the Caribbean in 1715.

For all of us who wanted to be pirates, AC IV lets you maraud on an open and beautiful sea. Notice the spray coming off the vessels, the moonlight reflected in the ocean…perfect keelhauling weather!

Switch between command of your vessel and boarding enemy vessels seamlessly.

Just when you thought it was going to be easy to jump from the dock onto a pole along comes a big feisty crocodile!

As a pirate you’ll have standing orders to plunder and acquire loot.

From the lush scenery to the dancing reflections on the water, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is visually stunning.

I usually like to stop and pet the cats I find in game. The jaguar on the other hand…Kill it, skin it, and sell the prized pelt in the next town.

Stealth is an important part of Assassin’s Creed. Survey the british vessel from your perch and then descend to steal it.

Despite its appearance, the world of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is far from tranquil!
