    No talk about the new prince of persia? I believe it is called prodigy.

    Two big differences. It has a semi-cel shaded look and has a character (Elika)whos always at your side. Ubisoft promises she won't intefere though...

    Thoughts, opinions?

    It looks cool. Tell me though, I played the first two games and thought they were decent...is it worth getting the third?

    I thought it was Ghost of the past or something like that.
    Either way, YAY :D
    Still, the prince's new look ain't to my liking.
    POP WW was the bad ass.

    The Movie should be a nice one, seen some pics and all.
    Also, Max Payne is being turned into a movie, nice one.
    I`d loveeee to see Starcraft turned into a movie...heck even a series :D

    Must've played the whole POP series at least 3 times each to get all the upgrades and characters and chest etc... One of the nicest stories an adventure game has seen...

    Cell shading never should have taken off? Have you played Jet Set Radio?

    It was good. It was most of the same of the first two so it didn't seem spectacular. A solid game nonetheless.

    Jet set was amazing. Loved it for dreamcast and xbox.

    Also the video is CGI not actual in game. The pic is more what the game looks like. I think its great. Its similar to the new street fighter IV but looks sharper imo.

    You can be the zerg queen and I'll be a terran. :)
