Shack PSA: Assassin's Creed PC $10 on Steam
by Chris Faylor, Mar 23, 2009 9:52am PDTNo longer content with mere weekend sales, Valve has announced that this week will see its digital storefront Steam discount one Ubisoft-published PC title daily.
The promotion kicks off with a 50% discount on Ubisoft Montreal's open-world murder simulator Assassin's Creed, which brings the game's price down to $9.99. That price is only valid for today, Monday, March 23.
Other titles published by Ubisoft, but not guaranteed to be part of the sale, include Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy's HAWX, World in Conflict, Grey's Anatomy: The Video Game, Tom Clancy's EndWar, Prince of Persia, and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.

I'm really glad Steam has these deals as a lot of really awesome games are becoming available for the price I would normally pick them up at retail a few months after release or less meaning I don't mind buying games I would normally just skip. I'm really hoping Far Cry 2 and PoP are going to be available for half price this week too. They won't be $10, but $15 and $25 seem pretty good deals too.
Actually, I have a French colleague who hates Ubi soft and told me to buy 5 clocks instead of assassin's creed. Then he offered me money to pirate it instead of buying it. Some people are weird.
In other news, nintendo are selling clocks with mario and animal crossing characters on the dsi for 200yen. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsiware/clock/index.html not bargain :)
Looking at the conversion:
Assassins Creed for US customers is $10 US which is $7.36 EURO and £6.78 GBP.
Paying in US currency will save Euro and British customers quite a bit of money if they have friends overseas. Even the Aussie exchange rate is pretty reasonable at the moment ($10US = $14.21 AUD). Certainly better than paying $10 EURO or £10.
It's not a simple process, but there are ways.
I onnly wished for more planning towards your kill, kind of like hitman where you really have to do everything perfect.

Yes, the ai was a little too eager to go after you, and yes some of the minigames and "obstacles" were a bit annoying, and yes the backtracking got tiresome. But many times, just walking in the crowd, or ducking around a corner and then vaulting up to a rooftop above to evade your pursuers, you get a real sense of presence in the world (especially playing with the HUD off). Assassin's Creed was one of the first games I played on the new systems that really made me feel like, "yeah, now THIS is what this new era of gaming is capable of".
And to me, that's easily worth $10.
Ha! Keep dreaming. My price for games I'm unsure of with no demos is $5. $2.99 is better.
