The sound of the oud contributes a wealth of colour, magic, and emotion to the music of video games, drawing on centuries of Middle Eastern tradition and splendour to tell authentic stories in novel ways.
The oud is one of the most beautiful, ancient, and ubiquitous instruments in the Middle East and North Africa. An ancestor of the Medieval Lute, its reach extends across multiple cultures in Asia and Eastern Europe. With double coursed strings and a fretless neck, the oud sings with a deep warmth and a shimmering resonance all at once, like a combination between a string instrument and a human voice. It sings of joy, mourns with sorrow, dances in ecstasy, and sits still in contemplation. It is a sound that carries with it the history of the Middle East and the songbooks of countless generations.

Valhalla presents one of the best Assassin s Creed titles in a long while, blending myth and realty into something fun and jaw-dropping for the new console generation. It s such a shame that glitches and computer bugs have ruined some of the fun.

It’s safe to say that in the two years since the previous game was released, I have been
dying for another
Assassin’s Creed. And I think we all know how excited I was back at the end of April when the game was announced – over half a year later I am still buzzing from that initial adrenaline rush. And now it’s here!
