Welcome to another captivating episode of the Wealth of Geeks podcast, where we unravel the myriad facets of the 'more' in Movies, Money, and More! With your host, Sarah Gilliland, and today we're veering off the usual path to explore the enigmatic world of video gaming, with a special spotlight on the iconic franchise, Assassin's Creed.

Join us on this enthralling venture as we, along with our seasoned guests Gareth Newnham, our resident UK specialist, and Aleksa Markovic, a law scholar and gaming enthusiast from Montenegro, dissect the immersive narrative and historical tapestry that sets Assassin's Creed apart in the gaming panorama!

NOTABLE MOMENTS: 

1. Aleksa talks about how Assassin's Creed was initially meant to follow Prince of Persia, but became its own big thing thanks to positive reactions from players, during a time when Ubisoft was known for coming up with cool new ideas. This trip down memory lane shows how the game started and what it meant for both Aleksa and Gareth.
2. Aleksa brings up a common annoyance for players, where they're taken out of the exciting historical world of Assassin's Creed to do boring tasks as a character named Desmond. While Aleksa finds this shift jarring, especially when reading in-game emails, Gareth likes the ongoing story it adds to the game, even if it feels a bit off from the main action.
3. Aleksa advises starting with the first Assassin's Creed game to fully understand the story, comparing it to watching Star Wars in order. Even though the games jump around in history, he suggests playing them in the order they were released to understand how the game's story and features change over time. He jokingly notes that after the fifth game, players might get bored and go back to playing the older ones.
