Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:12:52 GMT

"Running across walls and performing acrobatic flips to new heights was the reason why gamers were instantly hooked. From beginning till the end, The Sands of Time was a gorgeous game to see in motion. The character art stood out above the rest of the sequels due to the personality that Mechner and the development team provided for The Sands of Time.

Add in the wonderful time-manipulation and breathtaking environments, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a 'Tour de France' of gaming excellence."

PS3 Owners: "Give Us Backwards Compatibility Back!"

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:56:52 GMT

The poll which GameStooge has been running since August has shown what Sony gamers want most: restoration of PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility.

Of course, that's not going to happen, since Sony would rather you either buy a PS2 or perhaps buy PS2 games from the PlayStation Store, or have you buy stuff like God of War Collection with "HD graphics!" when the original PS3 upscaled games, making God of War 2, for example, look gorgeous.

It isn't just PlayStation 3 owners – all gamers want backwards compat. Xbox 360 owners like being able to play Halo 2 or Knights of the Old Republic, for instance, while Wii owners? They can play all GameCube games right from the start (though maybe there's a reason for that.)

$100 PS3 price drop did it for me: 9%
Restore PS2 back compat: 32%
Drop game prices by $10: 24%
Give PS4 release date: 12%
Another PS3 price cut: 15%
Drop PSP Go price by $100: 8%
