"As part of our Prince of Persia coverage we sat down with Ubisoft to talk about their latest regal adventure and learn more about this illustrious three year project.
The interview covers an eclectic range of topics including the much lauded artistic direction of the game, its sound design, possible new content and a myriad of other subjects such as the decision made regarding SIX-AXIS control and lost Iranian religions. Yes, we went there."

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.
cyber monday.
I've never seen any cyber monday deals that were as crazy as black friday deals thought.
i doubt Valve ever releases their steam sales numbers. How did you get info about the sales then?
I was not referring to the sales themselves, but the deals. The two first days had better games in my opinion. I bought 5-6 games in the two first days, I thought about buying RE5 yesterday, but decided against it since I already own it on console aswell as Borderlands (actually own it on PC and PS3), as for today, I checked the list, closed Steam, told myself I'd come back tomorrow.
Of course, this is very subjective, since I already owned many of the games that were on sale, but it does seem like the bigger games were on sale on the first day, mainly L4D2 and DAO.
2.2 - I think he just meant in reference to the titles available. I skipped out on 2 because I thought I might have had a crack at some other ones I would be more likely to play, then the last two days didn't have much at all, that I was interested in personally.
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.

"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.
