I liked both. Den defense - well, it's a tower defense and a pretty well done one, I might add. It makes you feel like you command an army after becoming Il Mentore. Desmond - while the core gameplay was okay-ish I really liked the visuals.

It seems I got used to games that give you multiple gameplay types because when I was younger I played Sid Meier's Pirates! and Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown and I loved them.
