Assassin's Creed II was very good but I found it bugged on the PC from 
Steam. You could only progress a little ways until the screen froze up 
during one of the cut scenes. I got really far in AC II on the PS3, a 
long time ago because my neighbor was an AC fanatic and suggested I get it.

The latest offerings, Odyssey and such, I find them bloated and will 
only run on Alienware X21 or the best you got.

Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a
sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
