Jim S Squires, esq here. Myself and Ted Ryan Newsome Hewson had a most excellent adventure yesterday. No, we didn’t get to travel back in time and help stop Hitler. Even better — we went to the future (which was conveniently located in downtown Toronto). What did we see? What did we play? Put on your safety helmets and shin guards, kids.

Yahtzee is typically hard on games, and even a little over-bearing to point out a game’s flaws for comedic effect. But he really hits all the right points here. I personally loved me some Sands of Time, and while I did make it all the way through Warrior Within the emo stuff really was a bad decision. But those Dahaka sections just kicked so much ass that it pretty much made up for the crappier story for me.

By the time Two Thrones had come out I had kinda moved past Prince of Persia, though looking back on it maybe I just tried to play it at a bad time and should give it another shot.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time = AWESOME
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within = Cool in spite of emo-”ness”
Prince of Persia: Two Thrones = um… next please?

So it’s with great relief and excitement that Ubisoft has decided to go back and re-tool the franchise from the ground up. And this new direction in art seems to have everyone (including me) amped up. I personally love the style of the Prince now and as long as the acrobatic flipping and flying is still in-tact I’m all over this one. Anticipation…. rising.

So we’re all pretty much fans of the new Prince of Persia “look.” If you’re in agreement, then why not spruce up that old shabby desktop with one of these new swanky ones?!
