The higher level you are in that game, the harder everything gets.
I'm a level 16 Assassin
The game doesn't seem all that challenging, though, as I've become a master in most schools of magic pretty quickly, by casting low level spells. Now I can summon Daedroths, Faded Wraiths and other assorted nastiness at will, so the fights themselves are pretty easy. What I really like is the way they designed the quests: they're varied and interesting to follow through. Obviously, the graphics are superb too, but so is everything else about the game. Immersive.

Assassins Creed was kinda boring. It's fun to jump around on buildings and stuff but there are only 3 things to do: Collect flags, climb 10-12ish tall buildings in each of the districts and save citizens. Oh and the main quest but that's over in 5 minutes per district as all you need to do is follow the map and pickpocket or interrogate some guy. Blah.

Super Mario Galaxy on the other hand :kickass: :kickass: :kickass: Played it briefly last night, can't wait to get home from school and continue bouncing around in space.
 
It's too bad about Assassins Creed. The videos of it look fucking amazing but everything I've read about it says it is kind of repetitive and boring after a while (but still kinda good).

Jericho also appears to be a total disappointment. Given Clive Barker's involvement (Hellraiser 1-3 are awesome, his early fiction was pretty good and Undying was also a good game) I had kind of gotten my hopes up for that game.
