For the last decade Prince of Persia has been one of the most exciting, and best-selling game franchises, not to mention, one my favorite games to play. So when the latest version, Prince of Persia (2008), was released last December for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, I waited to play it with great anticipation. Well, I should have just kept waiting; at least then my fond memories of this historic gaming franchise wouldn't have been tainted by the latest installment. So many things about this game are disappointing that the best thing I can say about the new Prince of Persia is that the artwork is amazing. Although, the Final Fantasy style artwork was a significant departure from the games traditionally real-world style artwork. This simple difference is part of a recurring theme I saw with the new Prince, a move toward a younger gaming audience. This is evident in the simplifying of the game play, increased use of in-game movies, the decrease in number of puzzles you need to solve, taking out the ability to kill an enemy (they just run away now), and the inability to fall to your death if you do something stupid (it puts you back to where you jumped from now). How are kids going to learn if they CAN'T make mistakes? I'll tell you how, more slowly. The challenges presented in previous generations of Prince of Persia made it necessary to adapt to the game and learn from your mistakes, or spend hours destined to repeat the same errors over and over. That is not the case anymore. The change in the new Prince is symbolic of a greater problem facing gamers today, the diversion between the perception of gamers and the reality of gamers. Many of the publishers out there believe that gamers are getting younger, so they make games that are more fantastical and less challenging. The reality is the average age of gamers has increased over the past several years, yet there are fewer titles than ever that cater to the needs and wants of these mature gamers.

this game is awsome!! buy it & find out for youself

I am not a gamer. Maybe a Gamer At Heart. At least I have a crush on a true gamer. He has never considered me his girlfriend, and thats cool, well maybe a little uncool. We have amazeing chemistry. Haven't seen him lately. Hopeing he looks my way so we can get our game on.

Hello, who the frak is on this sight right now that can tell me they own a ps3? And how many of your friends have it? For me, none of my friends own a ps3, they all invested in an inferior product, the 360. Especially now when bluray won why not spend the extra hundred dollars on a system that has a better graffix card, that has free online gaming, game controls that 360 had to mimic, easier syncing, in house charging of the controls, i mean, all around its going to save you money in the long run. No, go buy that p.o.s. that will eventually give a big ol' middle finger by turning red around that power button, ajax you know what i'm talking about, and then you can't play for a month, yay! Go ahead, spend money on batteries and semi-wireless headsets and external hd-dvd drives, oh wait, hd-dvd is dead, sorry. How much is that x-box account costing you a month, oh, you got three months free for the inconvenience of having to send in your system cuz of the red ring of death. Awsome! Hey, hold on, what about Halo? Really? Is one game enough to convince you to buy a cheaper console that will cost you more cash than the initial price of the ps3 in less than a 2 year time period. Cool. Anyway, if you answered yes to the first question, then add me to your friends list and we'll play some cod4. Frakin sweet! To all you x-boxers, sorry. Peace, i'm out! So say we all, TK-420

A few weeks before its release Rock Band arrived in a giant box and eyes lit up. Joe Renaud and Ryan Thompson, head of content and video respectively, are both in bands and tore up the box with invigorated enthusiasm that bordered on obsession. Nexy (Game Tester), Calc (Community Manager), Lennox (video) and even programmer Paul huddled around the station for a go. I watched on with mild amusement as I slaved away on a writing assignment at my desk. This is how gamers commune, I thought to myself, a four-person Rock Band session communicating all those things that would otherwise remain silent. All seemed peachy. Most of the casual players tapered off and, like most games that we get, the initial hype seemed to die down and things went back to normal (i.e. Halo). What most of us DIDN
