what's amazing about the game is how it inserts the Assassin vs. Templar feud into actual historical events. For example, JFK's assassination, the Russian Revolution, etc. are all results of the Templar vs. Assassin feud. So is the rivalry between Edison and Tesla.

first of all, you should play it yourself if you are interested in action games and conspiracy theories about espionage and a "new world order."
The video game is basically about the Templar Knights from the Crusader-era and how they are vying for world domination. The Assassin's are a group of well... Assassins who are trying to stop the Templar's. In the game, they've been fighting ever since the Crusade times and even into the present day.

theres like a side quest throughout the game, to discover sumthing known as "the truth". im guessing it means between adam and eve, but i havnt finished it yet so i cnt clarify tht. But either way, u need to solve a series of riddles before to gain each clue to the overall truth thing. and one of the series of puzzle riddle things is about tesla and Eddison, and it shows part of the video and explains the experiment.

Thomas Edison pwned the critics. This elephant died for a good cause.

Yup Assassins Creed brought me here as well. LOL "Titans of Industry Glyph" and the "Inventor" one before it are interesting.

Man, I love that game.
