GamesRadar writes: "Prince of Persia Classic gives the original 2D adventure an extremely likeable modern twist. Gameloft has done a stunning job of giving the old backgrounds an exotic 3D makeover. Sometimes this kind of thing falls flat on its face, but with such an iconic game, it's brilliant that the makeover has been so successful. The gameplay and level design are both identical to those of the Amiga classic, but everything else in the game packs a lot more detail."

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "New York Comic Con was packed this year, to say the least. From October 17-20, more than 200,000 attendees made their way through the Javits Center in midtown Manhattan to partake in the annual celebration of comics, television, cosplay, and all things pop cultural.
A few blocks away, in a quieter, calmer corner of the city, I was lucky enough to sit down with legendary developer Jordan Mechner, celebrated for his pioneering work in video game animation and cinematic storytelling. Mechner, a New York native, is most famous for creating the long-running Prince of Persia franchise, which added two new installments just this year. Outside of the world of video games, he is an accomplished graphic novel author, having worked on Templar, Monte Cristo, and Liberty. His latest graphic novel, Replay: Memoir of an Uprooted Family, is his most personal yet. It weaves together multiple timelines that cover three generational stories: that of his grandfather, who fought in World War I; that of his father, who fled Nazi persecution; and his own personal and professional journey over the last four decades."
