Prince goes 360


Ubisoft have announced that Prince of Persia Classic - a graphically reworked version of the 1989 original - is launching on Xbox Box Live Arcade on the 13th June. As well as a graphical lick of paint there are new traps, puzzles and - hopefully - a toned down difficulty level. Yes, we were a lot tougher back then, but even by the gaming standards of the late 80s Prince of Persia was sadistically difficult. Despite this it was good fun, primarily because the animation was so special. After a lacklustre few weeks we've finally got something to look forward to on Live Arcade. Now all we need is Sensible Soccer to get a move on.
