    So I bought a GPU from Newegg and got a free game code, and I need to choose one.

    So, what are your thoughts? Which one and why?

    Two completely different games. Assassin's creed is a great single player game. Tom Clancy's is basically MP only. I didn't think I'd like Syndicate, but I enjoy it quite a bit.

    In that case Syndicate might be my only option, not big into multiplayer FPS-type games.

    Rainbow 6. Ubisoft needs to the burn after burning us with Unity.

    But Syndicate is actually pretty good.

    Six Siege is awesome too though. I am a sucker for AC though.. :(

    /thread.

    I have them both. ACS is pretty nice, though series itself is a bit stale and repetitive.
    Currently playing a lot of co-op in R6 Siege, and whereas it's not as good as SWAT 4, it still very enjoyable.

    I say, neither one. Sell that code on eBay, and get whatever you can for it. You're better off with $40 in your pocket, than either one of those games.

    And then you can take that $40, and buy a ton of good games on Steam's holiday sale.

    That's also a valid option.

    Same here, recently bought a GPU and was in the same boat as @Ramzay .
    The fact that Rainbow Six Siege is MP (not into MP FPS anymore) and being an Assassin's Creed fan made the decision that much easier.

    To add up, even as an AC fan I think this series was "milked" enough but Syndicate is pretty nice.

    Well just sold it on eBay, I guess that just reduces the cost of my GPU purchase.
