lost in games

Having refused to put myself through the copy and pasting all the Nintendo DS and Wii shovelware this will be a short and easy blog post. In 1989 the first Prince of Persia was released and became part of my childhood memories. The animations offered by the game were remarkable for its time. However its unforgiving gameplay (a regular thing those days) prevented me from ever finishing it. The series then remained in anonymity inspite of a few more releases.

Then in 2003, Ubisoft  resurrected it with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Tim, which i played on the PS2. It was a fantastic game, and the first proper successor of the original game. Now, we are in the HD era and another Prince of Persia comes along. Is it another royalty fitting for the title? Many reviewers seem to think so.

This week’s game of the week is of course Prince of Persia

1. Prince of Persia (360, PS3)

PSP Store

I would like to make an exception this week and also mention 2 titles that have become available on the PSP store (US). Everyday Shooter and Super Stardust Portable are games available on the PSN and are two of the best available downloadable games out there for the PSP’s big brother. At US$10 each, both titles may be worth downloading on the PSP as well even without that second thumbstick.
