The aptly named Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands picks up the tale of the Prince, filling in that gap between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. But what happened to that reboot of Prince of Persia from two years ago? Was the decision to go back to this main timeline and the more conventional Prince…
Plants Vs. Zombies is on the iPhone and unless you don’t have the 3GS or a new Touch, it’s the best thing ever! But is it as great as these bits of schwag that showed up on my doorstep earlier this week? Hardly. From what I can tell, you can make your own version of…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: What I Did Today Yeah, I did a lot of hiking when I was in Australia. I live within driving distance of the Rockies, you can see them from my house, but they’re still not close enough to walk too. Which sucks. Last week the glass on our den fireplace…

Commenter Senics pointed us to this video from Slide to Play showing off a bit of Street Fighter gameplay on the iPhone. While the game appears to have smooth gameplay, and some pretty nice graphics, I have some major concerns. Playing the game requires swiping your thumb around on the corners of the screen, pretty…
Apparently it’s not enough that Dante Alighieri practically invented the Italian language and wrote an epic poem that solidified our views of Hell. Or that he’s the star of his own video game. No, now he’s a WWE wrestler too. If you check out the page dedicated to the “superstars” of Smackdown, you’ll find Dante’s…

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: SUPER BIZZY! I had my physical today. Here’s what I learned: *I put on 20 pounds in the past year. *I have high cholesterol. *I have borderline high blood sugar. I suppose I could blame all of this on my increasingly sedentary lifestyle, as dictated by long hours sitting at…
While checking out Red Steel 2 earlier this month I couldn’t help but notice that the game, like Mad Dog McCree, has its own form of live action. No, you won’t be slapping leather against the likes of One-Eyed Jack, instead you’ll be following along as a woman shows you how to play the Wii…
Whether Ubisoft likes it or not, for many Red Steel 2 will define the potential of Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus. While the sword and gun action title isn’t the first game to use Wii’s improved motion-sensing add-on, the franchise is inexorably connected to the Wii. The original Red Steel launched in 2006 alongside the Wii. While…
It took Plants Vs. Zombies just hours to claw its way to the number nine spot last week, so it’s no surprise that the PopCap game hit the top spot after a week in the sun. Here’s the full list: Which do you think should be the top game? Check out all of our iPhone…
Everything changed in 2001, the year Nintendo decided that the future of gaming didn’t lay in faster processors and photorealistic images, but in interaction. Years later, when the Wii hit stores, it brought gaming and motion control to the masses, showing grandparents, gamers and soccer moms that video games didn’t have to be high-def to…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Why Is Time Moving So Quickly, Can You Make It Stop, Gee Thanks Did you ever watch the old Peter Sellers’ Pink Panther flicks? I used to love them when I was a kid. One of my favorite reoccurring characters in the movie, besides Sellers, was Cato Fong. Remember him?…
Elemental powers, time manipulation and a story that fills in seven years of the Prince of Persia’s past are the hallmarks of the upcoming Prince of Persia game, The Forgotten Sands. “In this installment we are returning to the Sands of Time universe,” Michael McIntyre, the game’s level design director, told Kotaku during a meeting…
