Ubi has vindicated themselves

I love it when you find a game that compels you to avoid eating and sleeping, and if you are a gamer you know what I mean. Ubi's back with PoP: The Two Thrones which they sum up as such:

The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, bearing with him Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. When she is kidnapped, the Prince tracks her to the Palace - only to see her murdered by a powerful enemy. Her death unleashes the Sands of Time, which strike the Prince and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him...

I, however, sum it up this way: "We're sorry that we allowed a team of programmers to release a game that sucked and wasn't at all like the first one. We thought that it needed to be darker and more rock-n-roll, but we were wrong. We have 'fixed' that mistake by killing off the love interest of the second game right at the beginning of the third game, and bringing back all the characters from the first game. Please forgive. Merci Beaucoup."

So if you liked the first of the modern Prince of Persia games, you will be pleasantly rewarded with this return to good gaming.
