By the way, does anybody else who reads "XD" actually say XD (Ex dee) in their minds? I know that it represents laughter (sort of) but whenever I read silently and I see it I say "ex dee" in my head. Anyone else have the same thing?

No? I guess it's just me then... XD I believe I was the first one guilty. But I think a lot of people have noticed the many similarities between the AC saga and Grimm way earlier than I did.

The multiple-keys-unlock-one-door-with-a-mysterious-item-sealed-within plot? A lot of tomb-exploration games used that. Which of those stood out? Assassin's Creed and Tomb Raider. "Male protagonist" added to filter... Really?

Vambrace-with-a-switchblade equipment? Think almost all ancient-times assassination games have one. And which one is the most notable? Of course...

Shadow wars between a group of freedom fighters and a big fat rich shadowy villainous organization web that has got eyes and ears all over the world? Very close to the literally-thousands-of-years eternal battle between the Assassin's Creed Assassins and the Knights Templar("on their way to run the entire world" style), isn't it?

Thoughts?
