Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (Xbox Series X) Review
Six months ago, I had the opportunity to check out the Ubisoft Forward event during Summer Game Fest 2023. While at the event, Ubisoft gave guests the opportunity to preview The Crew: Motorfest, The Division Resurgence, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown; additionally, select guests had the chance to get an early sneak peek at Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, and Star ...[Read More]

Review: Rayman Origins (360)
Even now, I can still remember the first time I played Super Mario Bros. I have vivid recollections of my first time playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

PS3makes! PS3makes Everywhere!
Every popular franchise ever is being HD upgraded for the PS3. I’m okay with that.
Sam and the Prince go PS3make
I love the God of War Collection for PS3 for a variety of reasons. One of the chief reasons is that it has seemingly given various publishers the genius idea of doing the same thing with their PS2 properties. So, following in the footsteps of Team Ico and Sly Cooper, Ubisoft is apparently getting ready to put the ol’ HD shine on Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell.
