FarFaria is a much loved children’s App which will help children of a young age to get into reading in a new and interactive way. The books included are not only some of the old favourites a lot of parents will remember but they’ve added in some new books from lesser known authors which the kids will fall in love with.
A great feature of this App is that you will never run out of stories because five new stories will be added every week, so the fun never ends. Of course the stories aren’t all fictional, Intuary Inc. will include an educational book every two weeks.
Don’t worry if you aren’t always there to read to your kid because with every book comes a ‘Read with me’ feature, which will read the book to them even when they are offline.
We love this and will definitely be playing with this over the Christmas holidays!
The game returns to the continues story of Desmond Miles who is still on the run from the murderous Templars and once again must enter the mysterious Animus to recover the memories of past live assassins to help him in the present day to help prevent the end of the world. Once in the Animus, Desmond must relive the memories of young Native – American Connor Kenway or Ratohnhake:ton, who shortly becomes an assassin after his village is destroyed and as a result loses his mother.During his training Connor visits some of the most iconic places during Americas Battle of Independence such as Boston, New York and the Frontier to rid America of the Templar – controlled British forces. While doing so Connor will also meet some historical icons such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Paul Revere.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Gameplay
One of the biggest features is the introduction of the four seasons throughout the game which can sometimes help Connor in both stealth and combat but can also hinder him. Stealth is one of the more flexible new aspects of the game, while Connor can hide in hay bales, large groups of people and wells much like his predecessors but can now take cover in bushes and also a new cover system has been implemented. Hunting is one of first tutorials taught to Connor and while fun doesn’t feel incredibly necessary throughout the rest of the game. As well as Boston and New York you are also given a Homestead where Connor begins his training and where a lot of the side missions come into play. Along with a new assassin there is also a new combat system and re-engineered stealth features. The combat system has been completely redone as well, it is now a much more fluent system to attack and counter enemies moves with dozens of different combinations from your selection of weapons.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Features
They have of course brought back some weapons from past games such as swords, smoke pellets and everyone’s favourite, the Hidden Blades. New weapons include Rope Darts, Bow and Arrows, Flintlock Pistols and Connor’s weapon of choice, the Tomahawk. Also brought to the table are new climbing abilities such as more fluent free running, climbing trees, stealth modes, naval battles and a new hunting feature. Multiplayer also returns a new versus mode where you can choose a free-for-all or a new group vs group mode where you take turns assassinating and hiding. But like every game there are some minor glitches throughout. While playing I encountered floating Muskets, a deer lodged in a tree and once or twice I managed to get Connor Lodged in a tree so much so that he looked like Slender Man.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Verdict
Visually the game is absolutely beautiful, from the free streets of Boston and New York to the wide open seas and incredible detail of the Frontier so glitches can be overlooked given the shear scale of the game. If I had to say anything against this game if have to be that Connor is kept on quite a short leash during the first hour of the game it’s only once the full back story has been accomplished that you are allowed to free roam the streets and woods. All of these thing can be forgiven of course game that would not only appeal to Assassins Creed fans old and new but to anyone interested in action, violence and games with both history and depth.
