So, last night I saw Prince of Persia. Finally! I think most of you are aware of my fondness for this franchise - the original 2003 Sands of Time game is what got me hooked on gaming (yeah, I've been a late bloomer). I have grown to appreciate Jordan Mechner (the Prince's creator) more and more over the years - he is a veritable jack-of-all-trades ( Read more... )

I finally got the chance to sit down and finish BioShock 2 today. I feel oddly bereft. Eleanor and Delta's relationship was compelling stuff; any misgivings I had about other aspects of the game ended up heavily outweighed by that absolutely beautiful ending. Guys, uh, I almost cried. I was tearing up. Yes, at a videogame. But! It's a story about a ( Read more... )

I was going to comment more extensively on the Prince of Persia movie trailer that hit the web yesterday, but falling_home has done it for me with her loltastic recap, featuring screens and commentary from the POV of a gamer ( Read more... )

Oh, internets. You have brought me such an exciting day. First, I woke up to the epic #TheResistance showdown in NYC, chronicled with gusto by Muse fans the worldover on Twitter. Such was our enthusiasm that both the official treasure hunt microsite and muselive.com crashed ( Read more... )

(My only complaint so far is that Prince is voiced by Nate from Uncharted, and for the life of me I haven't been able to get past that yet - I keep feeling like it is Nate, just dressed up all Persian and snarking at a different woman, and it's entirely hilarious. HELP ME.)

Came down with a bout of food poisoning over the weekend; it was lovely. I was silly enough to attempt work yesterday - only made it to my lunch break before the chills and a full-on body ache had me heading home. It must be said: ( cut for the possibly squeamish )

Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley join the Prince of Persia cast. Yay for more actors of a legit nature! Head-scratching for the roles they're supposed to be playing. Molina is "Sheik Amar" - and I'm trying to figure out if this is yet another character from the game they're just renaming, or if it's someone totally new. He's supposed to be a ( Read more... )
