Classic Prince of Persia comes to XBLA

Cover of Prince of Persia: ClassicAs you all should know by now, Prince of Persia is one of the oldest computer game series in existence with the very first Prince of Persia game making it’s debut in 1989.

The classic Prince of Persia game was in instant hit. The quality of animation was one of the best at the time and its game play and storyline, although seemingly repetitive, was interesting enough to captivate its audience.

Classic Prince of Persia is now making a resurgence in 2007 with its release on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) on Wednesday, June 13, 2007.

The 2007 version of the classic game has been updated a little. Not to fret, the core game play and feel hasn’t been changed, only the graphics has been given a face lift. The game graphics is now in 3D, including the cut scenes, and the characters have been redrawn like The Sands of Time characters.

A pure classic mode with 2D is missing, but with the new 3D graphics, this is hardly missed.

Prince of Persia: Classic is available on XBLA for 800 Microsoft points (about $10 USD).

PoPF updated!

The long awaited web site update has finally happened! I’ve managed to scrape together a bit of time to spruce up PrinceofPersiaFan.com. It’s looking a lot better now with clearer sections and easier navigation to the PoP information you’re looking for.

The biggest improvement is the front page. Since the walkthrough for The Two Thrones is one of our most popular sections, I’ve made that section more prominent. There are also plans to add walkthroughs for Warrior Within and The Sands of Time but give me some time, I’m only one girl.

I noticed the movie poll comments had been getting a little out of hand and the page was taking longer and longer to load, so I’ve added paged comments to make reading comments easier and loading comments faster. There will be 25 comments per page, with new comments added to the first page.

Headings are also clearer. Using a rich gold colored font for headings breaks up the page better and draws your eyes to the sections that you may be interested in.

So what do you think? Any thoughts would be appreciated, just use the comment form below.
