I wasn't big on the first Assassin's Creed but they really seem to have fixed all the problems for the sequel.
Speaking of sequels, I'm loving Left 4 Dead 2, It's equal parts intense, satisfying and hilarious. I've finished all the campaigns except the last one - we got within five steps of the final rescue helicopter when a team of special infected absolutely demolished us.
CHEAP GAME TIME!
