I've never played an Assassins Creed game, despite the settings, genre, gameplay type etc really appealing to me. Just never got round to it, and now the series seems overwhelming with so many entries.

You don't need to play them all unless you like to get really invested in story lines. I'd recommend skipping the first game for sure.

I'd play AC II and Brotherhood for sure. A III and IV are great games but if you just want to pick and choose I skip those and go to AC Rogue. It has a lot of the elements of III and IV but they are more refined. Plus it has the best story of all the AC games.

I never bought an N64, so in my eyes it was a complete failure (I know it might not have been but since I didnt own one it seemed that way).

I never played an MMO.

Never bothered with grand theft auto games.

Thanks, will add them to my Steam wishlist!

I never played any Nintendo game (I mean Mario/Zelda/metroid etc)

I never play multiplayer / never understood the fascination with MMOs

I never won a trophy (league or cup etc) while playing championship/football manager as I am **** at it, so always give up after a season or two. I own about 5 versions of it and I just can't play it

I never play games on hard (except xcom as I want to beat it on impossible ironman)

Never played an N64. Was going to buy one in smyths and the fella behind the counter said you would be better off getting a PlayStation and I did.

Always looking to pick one up

I have never said "Just one more turn" while playing Civilization and actually limited myself to just one turn.

Never played a Megaman.

I've never gotten the hype for Halo. It was meh when it first came out, and it's still meh now.

Same as above, but for turn based games.

I've never played more than an hour of a Zelda game.

I've never played a proper MMO.

I've never played the first Deus Ex.

I've never owned a Sega console.

How can you be a professional game reviewer? It would be like a chef never having made or tasted soup.

It's a weird one isn't it. I just missed them, somehow, and never got around to actually catching up. I think most journos have actually got a couple of games like that in their dirty laundry. I know quite a few who've never played an Elder Scrolls game for one reason or another, and have even spoken to a few who've never played a Fallout

*caveat: I'm not really a professional game reviewer as such, in that reviews aren't really my focus
