So it was good, but not as good as the first one... I can live with that. As far as Ebert is concerned he's just a bitter old man who ranting at the videogames, "You damn games get off my lawn!"

Am I the only one who saw the first image and thought of this?


So Yahtzee's reviewing Humpty and Jemima?

(Actually yes, I'm almost certainly the only one on this particular idea)

I remember playing Sands Of Time back in 2004 and how awesome it was. But i never checked out Warrior Within or The Two Thrones, or that Cell shaded Prince Of Persia for that matter. So i kind of want to try out The Forgotten Sands, because i get the feeling it will have a lot of nostalgic value for me. At least thats what i get from watching the trailers.

The movie was pretty sweet actually, but I expect he just condemned it to start a flame war :D

If you haven't play SoT then spoilers-ahoy.

So why, oh why, is there only ONE very FLIPPANT reference to Farah in this game? Something about being bossed about by women. HE LOVES HER FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
I somewhat doubt you've had many relationships in your life... lost love is not a permanant pain, infact anyone with a pair should be over it within a year. "The one that got away" is much more likely to have a lasting effect, especially if you continue to have contact with them...

Spoilers for TFS now.
Also, the Prince still has Farah's medallion after SoT, so why doesn't he use that in TFS instead of having to be given the power by the genie?
Because in SoT his powers were from the Dagger of Time perhaps?
1) The game is set very close to the end of SoT - you don't go through an experience where you are in constant reliance on someone else, who then can't remember you because that didn't technically happen and then go "alright, she's probably the one that got away - better luck next time!"

2) Oh right, and where's the dagger in Warrior Within? Hmmm... I do wonder what he could have used to reverse time in Warrior Within...

Why, I do believe it was Farah's medallion which he acquired towards the end of SoT.

They tried making a choose your own adventure movie and it failed miserably.

Wow. That reference to Les Miserables caught me COMPLETELY off-guard. That was almost scarily cultured.
Which I presume you're not if you missed his references to many great Authors throughout his videos; Even once, if I recall correctly, referencing Proust...

1) I didn't say she was the one that got away, I said that she(through no fault of her own) broke his heart, which people actually get over VERY fast IRL, so the fact he was not whining and writing poetry is because he's not a complete toss and the writers decided against going into the American concept of love. And anyways, from India to Persia probably took a year on its own, let alone the time between getting home and the trip to Malik's kingdom

2) Well I have to admit, the start of WW felt so crappy I thought I'd leave it 'til I ran out of better games, and in TT you have the dagger again, so you could be right, or you could remember that in SoT the ***** steals your dagger and sword and leaves you her amulet and yet you're stuck without powers... it appears that in SoT it had no powers... therefore that was a plot-hole in WW which has now been filled by FS!
