A nameless traveler climbs the palace walls of Persia merely to glimpse the Sultan's daughter, more beautiful than the new moon. A jealous Vizier imprisons them both, one in the highest tower, the other in the lowest dungeon. The traveler is undaunted. The path to save his Princess is treacherous, and there is no time to waste.
Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but this dashing young adventurer has a very special relationship with time. He sees the face of it, struggles against it, uses it as a weapon on his enemies. This man, who fights the corruption of gods, re-arranges the threads of history to his liking on a whim, only to find history changing him as well. Always, there are consequences for the unwary traveler, and traps take on many forms. Time, this hero - this Prince - will tell you, is an ocean in a storm, and he sails those dangerous waters with the grace of a dancer, the potency of a sword. The Prince waits for no man.
His is a tale like none we've ever seen.
Edgar writes: "Back in the early 2000s, Prince of Persia was the franchise to beat. Parkour-like traversal, intricate puzzles and intense combat: what's not to like? Earning flattering review scores and numerous awards, The Sands of Time established itself as the prime action-adventure game. But how does one follow up something so flawless? Two words: Warrior Within."
This game was really hard! It took me over a year to beat and one of my friends just couldn't do it. I wish I'd known at the time about getting all the collectables in order to kill the Dahaka.
That game was pretty unique, the Dahaka is one of the best bosses in video games ever, the battle mechanics really felt like aerobics.

Which are great, which are bad and whether or not the industry as a whole is better off with or without them. Well today it all comes to a head as we count down the Top 10 games that we would love to see remade! Some of these are classic gems, that are still perfectly playable today while others are games that could definitely use some sprucing up to fix nagging issues that have kept them from reaching the next level but the one thing they all have in common is that we would love these classics to get a fresh coat of paint."
Would I like remakes for most of those games on the list? Sure.
Do I trust any of the companies which own those IPs, to make anything even remotely worthy of the original? Not a f****n chance.
Except maybe Zelda II and Kid Icarus for obvious reasons.
Red alert or red alert 2 remakes would be amazing but they aren't going to happen as EA completely ruined the franchise. Even if EA decided to remake it, it would have microtransactions and probably have mobile construction yards or something stupid like CNC4 did.
EA ruined this franchise and its a damn shame... We won't see it ever again unless they make a mobile game out of it full of microtransaction goodness.
