Prince of Persia 4 - Game Review (PC)
By Emanuel Avram
Published: January 9, 2009
Print Well, for me, this fourth installment of Prince of Persia since it's rebirth under the capable designing arms of Ubisoft manages to do just that: save it a place in gaming history. Not only have they re-re-re-re invented the franchise, but they managed to do a good job every time, with significant changes to make the game varied and fun.
And despite exaggerated criticism from some reviewers and gamers, even if it's the fourth Prince of Persia or you don't like the graphics for some reason while looking at screenshots, or the game just seems too easy for you in the first half an hour, just give it a chance - I promise you won't regret it.
Prince of Persia 4 is a well written modern fairy tale with a great artistic direction and a brand new approach to the gaming genre. Our main hero, the prince, has been through a lot of transformations from the beginning of the series, from good to evil, from innocent to a filled with rage killing machine. And once more, he got transformed, into a funny, witty and carefree character that makes his way through the desert while the unexpected happens - destiny.
While in search for his "beloved" donkey, the prince stumbles upon Elika, a mysterious beautiful girl on the run, chased by many guards. She tells him to be quiet and hide, but fascinated by his new friend, the prince decides he knows better, and follows her to see if he can help in some way or maybe just out of curiosity.
Well, once again curiosity kills the cat, as the prince finds himself now involved into a fight between two gods, Ohrmazd and Ahriman - good and evil. Fighting alongside with Elika to free the lands from corruption that spreads, the prince has to think and act fast in a non-linear world that takes you jumping and running around, fighting four different bosses and putting an end to corruption once and for all... but... can there really be an end?

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
