The Two Thrones

I've been following this series of computer games ever since it came out a few years back. Prince Of Persia started out with The Sands Of Time. After which, the sequel Warriors Within came out within the next year and finally The Two Thrones ends this exciting trilogy.

For those of us who still remember Prince Of Persia, it started out on our PC as a 2D game where you run from left to right, or from the top to the bottom of the screen, or vice versa. The most interesting aspect of the PC game, at that time, was the traps. You had spikes the shoot out from the wall or floor to skewer you, or you had those buzzsaw blades that runn across your path that you had to avoid. Oh, not to forget the floors, the ones that ensure that you complete the task fast, before the floor falls out from under your feet! And you always had to save some Princess from the hands of some evil protagonist in the game.

Ubisoft is the computer gaming company that has recreated it into a 3rd person PC game, that you can also play on PS2 or XBOX. Of course, it wouldn't be Prince of Persia if you didn't have traps and spikes, but the latest few installments have free-form fighting and also the power to control time.

I won't spoil the game for you too much because you'd have to play it in order to appreciate the trilogy and the beautifully woven 3D computer environment and storyline behind it. Anything that has something to do with playing with time is always intriguing, it worked for the Star Trek series, and it'll certainly work for this one.
