GetGamesGo.com somehow managed to get Ubisoft to let them sell some games at, up to, 75% off; awesome guys. Many of these games are some well known titles from the Developer/Publisher.
Capcom is happy to announce Newegg currently has a deal up for the PC version of Devil May Cry 4 -- just $10 and with no shipping costs. (link) Just picked this one up myself, and it runs flawlessly -- can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of DMC, not least because of the PC exclusive features.
Update: Just noticed Prince of Persia is up for $8, also with free shipping! Highly recommend this one, too! (link)
Ubisoft has announed that the epilogue episode for PoP will not be releasing on Feb 26, but on March 5. Meh, I'm sure we'll all be busy with Killzone 2 by then.
Also, note that this DLC is going to be available for both PSN and LIVE users, unlike some other recent DLCs.
"During the New York Toy Fair over the weekend, it was announced that, continuing with their recent fascination with recreating famous movie scenes/characters, LEGO would be releasing a line of LEGO figures and playsets for the upcoming Prince of Persia movie.
Sure, the toys will be based on the movie, and not the game, but it's a movie based on a game. So, in a roundabout way, we'll have the first LEGO toys to be made from a video game series, and not the other way around.
The toys won'..."
Ubisoft has been shady on the details of downloadable content (DLC) for the PC version of Prince of Persia, most recently saying there's "no news on [it] at the moment". Well, community manager UbiRazz came forth yesterday and said it won't be coming at all.
...sad.
UK Community Ubi.Vigil Manager meanwhile is encouraging users to voice their opinions in a civilized manner, saying, "We'll be reading the threads here as ever and passing on feedback."
With well over 100 posts in the th...
"Ubisoft have today officially confirmed new details about Prince of Persia Epilogue Downloadable Content (DLC). Scheduled to release for consoles February 26th, 2009, Prince of Persia DLC continues the story of the Prince and Elika with a brand-new epic adventure."
"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..."
The new Prince Of Persia game was recently released with good reviews. But producer Ben Mattes doesn't think so. He goes on to complain about how the lack of innovation in sequals is terrible. And how they tried really hard to bring a whole new formula to the Prince Of Persia series and still keep it Prince Of Persia. He complains that there is a lack of appreciation for everything they did. If its worth anything to yah Ben, I think it's great new style for the Prince.
As it was previously reported, the retail PC version of Prince of Persia has no Digital Rights Management (DRM). Well, DairukaSutain of Reclaim Your Game has taken it upon herself to thank Ubisoft as such on their forums, and many gamers (including myself) have joined in. Care to?
Many have even gone so far as to say the bought the purely because it has no DRM. Community developer UbiRazz, in the original thread in which this news was originally announced, responded to a member on the topi...
"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..."
Much like we just saw with Oddworld, the new Prince of Persia game will be DRM free.
It seems as if this is going to be a test for gamers, a chance for us to prove that DRM is one of the driving causes of piracy. Lets not screw this one up. Albeit - there is still the $50 price tag, which is undoubtedly another driving force, but still.

Mainly a light week this time 'round, but you're okay with that because you're playing Mirror's Edge, or Fallout 3, or LittleBigPlanet, or whatever else, yeah?
A note about Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC: Rockstar has stuck our adorable little friend SecuROM in there this time.
Electronic Theatre delivers the news direct from Ubi Soft that the new Prince of Persia for Xbox360, PLAYSTATION3 and Xbox360 has gone "gold", and is now entering the manufacturing stage...
"There are many secrets hiding within the quiet places of our Princes world.

"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 shouldnt be too much longer before Ubisoft pulls back the curtains."
Video gaming site 'LiveWii' has reported on news that a corrospondant of their's has found information that a Prince of Persia game has been confirmed for the Wii. They have not mentioned any source but have indicated that the game will be a spin-off.
