ETA: Thanks for the promo code. Always nice to shave off a few more dollars from the cost. Plus, free shipping... so YAY! You're welcome. That's why I love Amazon so much.  Also, I hate the Prince's face in the opening cinematic. He's never been extremely attractive throughout the series and there's never been too much consistency, but I find him particularly ugly this time around. I'm not a fan of the almost-a-goatee either. |

I don't think the Prince was ever meant to be particularly handsome. Very rugged yes, but Gyllenhaal is totally a prettified incarnation.
I found the Prince in "The Sands of Time" (the game) to be the most attractive of the original 3 games in that trilogy. Mostly because he was extremely slender, which made the parkour more convincing.

Speaking of the Prince's physique, I think he looks a lot bigger in the clips I've scene of The Forgotten Sands than in the other three SoT games. Is it just me? Between this and the finding him too ugly, maybe I'm just being too picky... |

He looks about the same as the pre-rendered cinematic sequences as the later two games. He definitely got musclier between "The Sands of Time" and "The Warrior Within". Anyway... if you're interested in a review, click HERE for the one by IGN. If you're a believer of Game Informer reviews, click HERE. |

Received Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands in the mail today. Officially excited. May even bring the PS3 to Austin for the weekend so that I can wall run and climb to my heart's content while the boy works. We'll see... it may not be worth doing that at all...

Started BioShock 2 a few hours ago. So far I'm loving it even more than the first. I'm hoping to finish it off before my copy of The Forgotten Sands arrives in a few days. Hopefully, I'll also finish off TFS before Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes.
I've been buying too many games lately. :/ I also have some others I need to finish and some that I haven't even started yet. This will stop now, though, because I'm pretty much out of money.

I really like PoP but I haven't been excited one bit about The Forgotten Sands. One day when it's available for £10 new, I might buy it.
I need to get Red Dead Redemption, but I still have Dead Space to finish from months ago. I got bored with it. I've also got some old Mass Effect playthroughs to finish aswell. Atleast this way it's easier to wait for the price drop.

Red dead redemption, i need that game for the 360. The multiplayer free roam looks pretty great too, aswell as the normal competitive multiplayer. Most games nowadays really need good multiplayer options. This game will give me a lottttt of fun hours, that's for sure. I can't wait. The free roam in GTA IV was dissapointing, so I'm glad Rockstar have improved free roam for Red Dead. |

I just finished BioShock 2. I much prefer the story of the first BioShock, but in most other ways, I feel the sequel is better. Usually, it takes me a lot longer to finish a game, as I only started it yesterday. Perhaps I could've spent more time researching and exploring more thoroughly, but at least I rescued all of the little sisters!
I told myself I was going to get some reading done this weekend, lol.

So Fable 3 is being released for PC, I truly am shocked (considering there is no chance that Fable 2 is going to be released on PC)

I just tried out the BioShock 2 multiplayer. I don't usually play multiplayer, so I wasn't terribly good, but I generally had a good time. ^^^ When is fable 3 released, and is it coming to natal... The exact release date hasn't been announced, but it's due towards the end of the year. Also, I think it has been implied that there will be features that use Natal, but I'm not sure. |
