My Game of the Week
Prince of Persia (PS3, 360)-12/2
Was there really any doubt what I would be picking this week? Not only is this a down week for releases when compared to the last month or so, but my most anticipated game of 2008 is finally coming out. Prince of Persia hits the PS3 and Xbox 360 this week. This is a bit of a new beginning for the series with a new main character, a slew of new platforming moves like the gripfall and roofrun, and a reworked fighting system that has you taking on one enemy at a time. You also have a new partner Elika who uses magic to aid you in combat as well as help you perform amazing acrobatic maneuvers. This all occurs in a more open-ended game world and presented in the beautiful new illustrative artstyle. I'll finally get to see if the game lives up to the hype I've been giving it.This is the part of the article where I tell you what other games are coming out, but I really think you should just get PoP for PS3 or 360 (or maybe pick up something you missed last month). If you're a PC gamer who hasn't gotten in on GTA's latest installment, GTA IV comes out for PC this week. There are also a pair of Mushroom Men games for Wii and DS. You can also pick up the Prince of Persia: The Fallen King for the DS, but I have to be honest, having played the demo I wasn't too keen on the stylus controls for the game and I'm not sure how it will turn out. Well, that's all for this week. I'll be sure to be back when I can with some more posts and hopefully some reviews.
