Off With Their Heads by Afro Thunder

Prince of Persia 3: Two Thrones. As confusing as the title is, the story line was very simplistic and easy to follow, while remaining very creative in it’s approach to PoP’s third title. At first, I thought this game was going to be no better than PoP 2, and that it would’ve been another game to just say I beat, but it was incredibly fun and well thought out. I found that the game play wasn’t repetitive and dull like I was led to believe, but very fun and worth playing many, many times over. Every trap was new and somewhat challenging, without going over the top with difficulty, but keeping you on the toes at the same time. I especially enjoyed the combination of stealth kills and full frontal battles. I especially enjoyed being the Dark Prince, strangling my enemies to death with a chain of blades. This game also looked spectacular, giving an incredible environment to jump and flip about in, as well as slice off the heads of my enemies. I also enjoyed the music, not being repetitive heavy metal the entire time, but a nice Persian tune. I especially enjoyed the ending, which made me very happy with the story. It was a great way to end the series and provide an original experience, like chariot races. The only complaint was that the game was too short, but that just gives me more reason to play it over and over again. 4 out of 5.

A man with crazy Kung-Fu abilities and even crazier hair. But please, don't confuse yourself into thinking he's Jewish, or Arabian, or anything other than a curly-haired, half white, half mexican ninja. He also gives the whole low-down on games and movies, but avoids reviewing comics (he's loves 'em, but can't tell you what he thinks of 'em).
