TVGB: "Stop the theoretical presses, we've got news. Ubisoft has just sent over word that the new Prince of Persia will be released on Dec. 2. I don't care what else is coming out this holiday you have to pick up this game. No screenshot or video you have seen does it justice. Go preorder now and get the free limited edition while you're at it. The DS game will be out on the same day too."
Steam's series of one day only offers continues onto its fourth day. On offer today are:
World of Goo - 75% off
EVE Online: Apocrypha - 75% off
Lucidity - 75% off
Battlefield 2: Complete Collection - 50% off
Prince of Persia and everything else Prince of Persia - 50% off

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.
Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.
I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.
*looks at unassembled PC parts from black friday* >_<
A look back at the history of the cult series, which is now 20 years old.
I had 'The original Prince of Persia' it was an awesome game, still want to play it today. Didn't know until now, Prince of Persia shares it's birthday with mine :D
One of the best game series's to come out in the history of gaming.
UGO writes,
"To capture the fluid motions that would distinguish Prince of Persia from the glut of adventure video games released in the late '80s Jordan Mechner studied video and still pictures of his younger brother, David. Those are some modest roots for a franchise that has sold in the millions and, in 2010, see the release of a blockbuster film.
But how Mechner's Prince of Persia could inspire a reimagination that would become one of 2008's most popular holiday releases is a winding tale best told in bits. To help explain, we've compiled a chronological retrospective. Now you can learn how a kid jumping around the front yard became a thousand-polygon model leaping across hundred foot chasms."
I absolutely abhorred the new POP game. The taint of the whole series by far. such a waste of 30 dollars.
Great news but I've hardly seen any coverage of this game.
if you were smart you'd do the same.
Is there a different plot this time???
Does it have anything to do with the sands of time?
I'm looking forward to this game but honestly believe that this is just to freaking much at one time.I know everybody wants to make money but wouldn't it be smarter to release games over the summer like the movie industry does movies?
It was a gutsy (and correct) move for them to reinvent the franchise like they have. The trailers look amazing. I hope its a success and starts a trend where devs don't just rehash old franchises with a new coat of pain and put them out as "next gen". DMC4 would be a perfect example of what to avoid.
