My fave weapon is definitely the dual-hidden blades, the counters and combo kills are just sick (especially the stabby-stab one). If I had to pick a single fave kill animation though, I'd probably say the one with the 2H weapon where he hacks the guy, and then puts the sword/axe over his shoulder and gently pushes the guy over. It has such a badassness to it, like "you're not even making me break a sweat" even though it's not the goriest one.

100% for me. Once the money starts flowing the upgrades come very quickly. Then it was just a matter of getting all the seals/codices/feathers/art/etc.

It's a "frequent flyer" style rewards system that gives you points based on certain achievements/trophies you unlock in the game. You can then spend these reward points on things such as console themes, extra throwing knife upgrade, a special assassin's tomb and Altair's outfit from AC1. This is actually the first Ubisoft game to employ this, but R.U.S.E. and Splinter Cell: Conviction will also use this system upon their respective releases.
 
I quite like it, because it's rewarding you for just playing the game as intended. All the achievements that give points are story-based an unmissable. The extra stuff in no way is game-breaking, but adds a bit more utility (in the case of the knives), backstory (with the tomb) and just plain AC1 fan-service (with Altair's robes).

If you can get AC1 Cheap, then you should play it, it was a unique game, and absolutely gorgeous, with solid controls, wouldn't hurt to try it out.
