28 Jul 2010Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a fun game. It’s just the right length, never repeating itself or needlessly dragging out some section of gameplay, and it represents a whole new genre unto itself: An action-puzzle-rhythm-platformer. It’s also not worth $60.

16 Jul 2008We hit the midway point for E3 2008 today. Being the first day without a major press conferece, Wednesday is all about hitting the games.
