I first saw AC in a trailer in Toys R Us. I was about 7-8 at the time (I know I was young). I went home, not knowing the name of the game. I searched desperately online, but I couldn't remember the name. So, guess what, I nagged my mother into taking me to Toys R Us and, after a while, she took me. I went to the same place and found the trailer. I still couldn't find the name of the game. But, out of look, a fan of the game was stood there. I asked him what the game was called and he replied "Assassin's Creed". I was ecstatic. Unfortinately I didn't have a console to play it... After two years of saving up my money I bought an Xbox 360. I already had a copy of the game even though, when I got it, I didn't even have a console to play it (it was 2007 when I bought my copy of AC). So, it was 2009 and AC2 had just came out. I was too late to get the black edition so I rushed to GAME & bought the white edition. After that I have been pre-ordering ever since. My collection is now massive, having a collector's edition for each game, & steadily awaiting my Freedom Edition of AC3.

P.S. If you're wondering why it took me two years to save up for an Xbox: It was just because I was young & incapable of hanging on to money. But I still got it all in the end & I am perfectly up to date with my collection...
