The next-gen Prince of Persia is now available for pre-purchase over digital distribution platform Steam. If you're unfamiliar with the Prince's exploits from last generation, you'll have a chance to purchase the last three games in the series in addition to the upcoming installment.

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.
I can highly recommend PoP: Sands of Time. It plays a bit like assassins creed (except it actually has content) You get a really nice range of acrobatic moves and the control of the character is very good, nice story and some clever ninja-like platforming puzzles.
edit: I should probably add that its not a free roaming game like assassins creed, its linear story.
Is this only for the US? I can't personally check right now, because I'm at school. Ubisoft seems to only release their on Steam in the US.
