My experience with Assassins Creed makes me rate it a high 7 so far....

I honestly just wish it was straight up medieval and not all sci-fi with the DNA memory virtualization and such :(

Sadly I have played 2 Blacksite demos and have experienced exactly what IGN describes :(

Jericho KILLS Blacksite as a B-grade sci-fi shooter....

It was not developed by the same group. Harvey Smith (ex-ION Storm employee) brought a lot of his own boys on board and they developed the game. He never even seemed interested in the concept and the final product reflects his half assed attitude.

But you have the suckier PS3 version. The better framerate on the 360 should bump it up a pt.
