Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands: So, I really don't get WHY we needed to return to the Sands timeline when that shit's already been done and there's a whole new interesting Prince to follow and really nothing else to tell, but as far as movie tie-in games go you could do a lot worse than being made by the original company (and for those of you ( Read more... )

Bioshock 2 is out in seven lousy days.  Am I excited to revisit one of the most visually dynamic/narrative driven/genre-crossing game universes of the last decade? FUCK YES I AM.
