Assassin's Creed 3 PC version playing on Intel HD3000 Windows 8 i7 Lenovo X220T

The PC finally got AC 3 on Thanksgiving ,no less! And wonder of wonders it runs sublimely well! This is not a shoddy console port ( sorry Ghost Recon Future Soldier) ..for Assassin's Creed 3 runs buttery smooth even with FRAPS recording the game play. 

For PC fans this is a milestone , the first time an Assassins Creed game has arrived so close to console releases and before Christmas , actually they usually arrive around February or March time months after the console versions have usually gone budget..Could this be a mark of the rise of the PC as a gaming platform?Let`s not get too Templar about it ..and enjoy:

Am I impressed ? Very! I was getting used to the idea of only playing Assassins Creed on PC using onlive or my gaming rig, but the latest game in this most respected franchise will happily run on my Intel HD3000 powered Windows 8 Lenovo X220T at 1280 by 800 with all settings at normal.

What's more it lets me test out Uplay on PC too, Ubisoft pointing out that you do not need to log into two systems to launch the game when you just purchase it from them ,they are currently giving AC 2 free  to purchasers of the digital version of AC3.. 

Playing the game ..the first term that comes to mind is breathtaking, from the opening Opera House scenes with 100s of animated audience members , to the very real sea sickness that you feel on a tall ship on its way to the colonies ...to the many encounters with historic figures that would make Bill and Ted envious ..  

Last time I went to Boston erhhm the colonies there were people acting out the Tea Party,I was too young to be let in to the Cheers bar and chickened out of having a blue lobster boiled alive for my dinner ... now thanks to the advancement of gaming I got off the boat and met Benjamin Franklin ..and have started a quest to discover how the colonies fought us colonials to avoid paying taxes on tea only for their descendants to sell more expensive coffee back to us in Starbucks and you guessed it...avoid paying taxes !... hey maybe we should have a Coffee Party movement...dress up as baristas and dump mocca chocca decaf lattes in the Thames..to ease the loss of our wonderful colonies ..Yes we can`t ...as they say round these olde world parts !!! 

Back to the game ..this is how it runs , remember without FRAPs recording it is even smoother, if you can get any version the PC version is the one to own.  The game downloads to around 15 gigs and requires a further 20 gig install if you are thinking of going digital.

So PC fans if you have been patient waiting once again for your dose of Assassin`s Creed 3 ..then the wait has been worth it as you can see.. put down your ageing console and prepare to join Connor`s revolution on the PC which has always been the most revolutionary of platforms ..nice to see developers like Ubisoft and IO Interactive this week waking up to it .. even the old "legends" like Molyneux and Braben are currently raising money to code for PC .having been lost in the console wilderness too long..my money is on and with Tim Shafer and Chris Roberts though...!
