We should clear things up straight away: Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is not a movie tie-in. It just so happens that a movie based on the Prince Of Persia series is coming to theatres near you™ just a week or two after the game is released. So while it may not be a film-o-game, it is a massively coincidental game, especially as it seemed to pop up out of nowhere and had its development completed in what seemed like a very short time. But this isn’t something to colour our judgement with – what is something to colour our judgement with is the fact that The Forgotten Sands displays a crushing lack of ambition. While the game does have hints of greatness here and there, it ultimately flounders and ends up safely within the confines of absolute mediocrity. Never fear, though, for we will qualify these statements in the following text, so you know exactly why the game gave us hope, lifted us up and eventually let us down.
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other’s fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let’s take a look.
MenStuff: "Bullet-time and the control of time in general have become a staples of action video games over the past ten years, and a lot of thanks can go to the sci-fi blockbuster, The Matrix. The art of slowing down time in order to act faster, or respond more precisely, has slipped its way into a number of our favourite games, and with Quantum Break releasing this week and embracing this to the fullest, we’re here to pay homage to these time-bending experiences."
Singularity man...dear god that was one of my top First person shooters last gen.
Only FPS at the time of CODs popularity which did something different
We need a sequel.
God of War Ascension. Very well designed and challenging puzzles that used time manipulation.
Also Final Fantasy XIII-2
MyGaming: "With the recent release of Rare REPLAY, a collection that celebrates a number of fantastic platformers (among others), we thought we’d talk about the genre for a bit.
So to celebrate the world of platformers, we look at the 5 best in recent years."
Wow, the 360 and PS3 reviews are pretty much opposites of each other. The PS3 version is mediocre apparently while the 360 reviewer can't help but sing praises yet only gave it an 8.
Did they make a different game for each platform?
