    I flunked my first exam

    I think I do better the more I cram at the last minute.

     

    See, if I study ahead, I grow complacent and arrogant. Last minute panic sends my brain into overdrive and I develop a near photographic memory.

     

    Of course the downside is not sleeping.

    How Prince of Persia 3?

    The Two Thrones is an excellent game. If you play a game for the story as much as for the gameplay, then T2T nicely wraps up the stories of the two previous games and the ending will send a wave of nostalgia over you.

     

    As you probably already know you play as the Prince and the Dark Prince, each representing noble prince from SoT and the selfish one from WW. The dialogue between the two is interesting if a bit predictive of where the story will go. The voice over work is pretty good too. The original voice of the Prince from SoT returns..which is a welcome relief. I was dissapointed with the voice of Farah but she grows on you like the first game although I could have used more game time with the Prince and Farah traveling and fighting together like the first game, bickering and encouraging each other.

     

    As for gameplay, open combat is just the same is WW. I personally like the options the freeform fighting system gives you everytime you make a move. But most people don't seem to appreciate it. Enter the speedkill system. You can carefully navigate through the environment, positioning yourself over, under or behind your enemies to get the drop on them. A few carefully timed button presses later and you've quickly dispatched those pesky sand monsters. Making the environment puzzle solving part of combat and boss battles was a pretty good idea.

     

    The environment puzzle solving is pretty good too. There are a few new moves you can pull off but its still pretty much the same as the two previous games. The environments themselves are a pleasure to roam about in. Although I think it fails to reach the majestic levels of SoT.

     

    All in all though, this is a must play if you enjoyed the two previous games. I love the ending movie. :thumbsup:

    What are you playing now?

    Now I'm playing through both Prince of Persias again just to get myself ready for playing the new one. I'm kinda like that.

     

    In between I'm playing some R-type Final which really is making me fall in love with the shoot em up genre again. Thinking of picking up Gradius 5.

     

    Oh and some Soul Calibur 2. I'm trying to make it through extreme survival mode with Mitsurugi using only his regular weapon. Currently I've gotten to match 15 out of 20. Almost there.

     

    I need an engrossing PC game to play.

    Anyone remember those record breakers toy cars that ran on 2AA batteries? I used to be a big fan of those and legos.

     

    There was this Christmas where I got 3 record breaker cars. They were really cool ones too. A ninja model and 2 more. I also got a track to race them on.

     

    I also got this huge lego set of an Arctic base with 3 more additional sets of matching vehicles for that base. There was this huge land vehicle with like six wheels, a cool looking shuttle and something else I can't remember.

     

    It was the Christmas my grandmother was visiting from Korea so I basically got everything I wanted and more.
