"Today, 5th January 2009, is officially the twelfth day of Christmas. Most of you are probably back into your usual daytime routine by now, and are looking for something to entertain you during those long winter nights. The Twelve Games of Christmas is a feature series that has been run on each of the twelve days of Christmas here at Electronic Theatre, looking at the disc-based European releases of 2008, and selecting the best performers of each month. Today is the final instalment, and so it..."

"In terms of us taking a shot and missing, I guess I would have to go a little higher level here and speak about risks in general.

For years we've all been reading complaints about sequels and companies churning out carbon copies of proven formulas without focusing on innovation or taking risks. Fans, developers and critics alike seemed ravenous for new ideas -- new IPs; major innovations -- advances in this art-tertainment (I'm trying to coin a new term here ;)) form we all love.

We t..."

"This is more than a thread about Digital Rights Management. This is a thread about gratitude. Ubisoft, you made the correct decision in removing SecuROM 7 from your game. While I can't speak for the countless communities around the internet, I can say that customer appreciation results in the mutual appreciation from the customers. I being one of them.

I for one bought this game for the Personal Computer. A decision I would have never made were it not for your forum announcements about rem..."

"Ubisoft have decided to run an extremely generous Christmas promotion through their online store, Electronic Theatre can reveal today. When ordering any of the publishers’ six biggest titles for Christmas, or any of the Imagine range of games for the NintendoDS, customer will receive a fantastic free gift, and with selected titles the opportunity to win much, much more..."

"Ubisoft, a game publisher that has long used DRM in its game titles, is taking a different approach with the retail version of its latest PC game release, Prince of Persia (2008). The retail version of Prince of Persia for the PC doesn't contain any DRM. This means that users should not run into any of the usual headaches that they often run into when DRM doesn't play nice with other apps or system settings, or cause the game to stop working altogether as happened with Ubisoft's Rainbow Six V..."

"Ubisoft producer Ben Mattes has said downloadable content for the new Prince or Persia game is very much part of the plan, and will add "significant value" - perhaps even as much as an entire prequel or sequel.

"We certainly have plans for downloadable content, [but] we can't really say more than that right now," Mattes told Gamersyde in a video interview.

"The intention is to do downloadable content that adds significant value, so I don't think you'll see downloadable content of a new ..."

"The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions still arrive on 5th December, according to the schedule, which we think gives the game a fighting chance at a Christmas number one."

"Prince of Persia Classic, like Bionic Commando Rearmed, is essentially the same as the original game but the graphics no longer look like 8-bit ass. They've been all three-dimensionalized and such. Also, the prince now resembles the hero from the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, unfortunate facial hair and all. More importantly, there's new puzzles, traps, and enemies."

"Last summer, Prince of Persia Classic came to the Xbox Live Arcade. Now, according to an ESRB listing, it appears that PS3 owners will get in on the action.

No release date has been revealed (or that the game even existed on the PS3), but considering the number of titles that have leaked in this fashion, it shouldn’t be too much longer before Ubisoft pulls back the curtains."

"Speculations of a new PoP game has been doing the rounds on the web for quite some time, Ubisoft is tightlipped about this, but it would be quite nice if they release a game on nintendos next generation console. What do you feel? Should Ubisoft make a PoP game for the Wii?"
