2008 was great year.  But it was an amazing year for gaming.  With so many damn games coming out in the tail end of the year I think I spent over 200 dollars on games during the holidays.  Some of them amazing and some not so amazing.  Anyways lets get right to it.

As some of you may have known, or haven’t known, I’m a HUGE Prince of Persia fan.  Since the old schools days when it was on the PC with its side scrolling gameplay and out of this world difficulty.  However it was still one of my favorites.

Then came Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (PoP: SoT) which is by far my favorite in the series.  The story was excellent, but what made it so good was the acrobatic platforming.  The game was like 75% platforming and 25% combat, give or take.  I had never thought they can put so many cool ideas to build on from the original.  From the wall running to the acrobatic combat, OOO SO GOOD!

Its sequel was Prince of Persia: Warrior Within(PoP: WW).  Building off on where PoP: SOT left off.  This one was OK but did have the magic as the first.  One thing the story was quite weird with all the time travel and changing your fate aspect.  They went for this sort of dark vibe with it.  What was quite weird was most of the music was from the band Godsmack, with heavy metal type of music playing while you are taking out some dudes, weird music choice.  Mainly instrumental as the lyrics were not in the game, Thank God.  It didn’t really add anything new except a new additions to the combat.
