MoreCooler.com: It's more cooler with the thing

Well, let me just start off saying this game is awesome. I had a real ball with it -- for one evening. Very fun, very short. “Good pacing” is the friendly way to say it, which basically means “thanks for not boring me.”

But here’s the rub. The X-Box version of this game comes with a whole host of extras: Prince of Persia 1, 2 & 3D, making of movies, interviews and some remade level of PoP1 in the new engine. So that’s what they put on the console, guess what they put as extras on the PC? Nothing, zip, nadda. I read someone’s justification for this, it was that the PC version costs $10 cheaper than the X-Box one, but that means you are ‘buying” the original PoP’s, which is wrong.

And one more thing: Beyond Good and Evil is what Zelda: Windwaker was supposed to be. It has the boat, the “sword” and the camera. Only this boat has rocket boosters. There, I said it, flame away.

I have an unopened copy sitting on my desk, waiting for me to get to NC. I was especially looking forward to playing the old-skool PoP's I'd read about in the reviews for the console versions. $W##$%^$%#^. That'll teach me to read the PC-version reviews CAREFULLY before I buy a game that was so popular on console. The really sad thing is that at one point I found a deal, while waiting for the PC version to come out, that would have made the console version cheaper than the PC version; I passed it up, figuring the PC version would look and play better and, having come out later, would of course have more features.

Haven't played beyond good & evil. Probably won't get around to it, what with the mess of games I've got in the queue. Of course, being able to pass on Deus Ex: Invisible War (what were they THINKING!?) has saved me some time.

Currently playing Final Fantasy X-2. It's fun until the main characters try to say or do anything, at which point I have to hit something, preferably not the wall. I can't shake the feeling, however, that this entire game takes place in the minigame hell that inhabits the endgame of all "regular" FFs. For those unfamiliar with this entry in the series, you play an inexplicably gun-toting Yuna with two gal pals on a fan-service- and kitsch-filled trek through the world of FFX. Only, the entire world starts out being accessible, with only certain areas actually having anything to do. But as you're reworded for exploration, just like in any FF, my first act in the game was to walk the party from one side of the rager large game world to the other. It's like before I've done anything I've beaten most of the game and am just tooling around looking for crap.

You know you want to buy Prince of Persia for X-Box. ;-)

Thanks. ^_^

The graphics on the PC are great. Plus, it is always posible to get PoP 1 and 2 somewhere else, like... somewhere with a... file... thingy.

he's HOT. :D (Well, uh...not like any of you care.)

I don't own FFX but Titus was so damn ANNOYING. I wanted to shoot his voice actor. o_0 In fact, when I played it (on a friend's copy), we kept the sound down. Yuna running around with guns is really really funny.
