Being a prince isn’t all about smiling at cameras all royal like, christening fancy boats, or whatever else princes do (seriously what do they do?) As in the case of 2004’s Prince of Persia Warrior Within from developer Ubisoft, sometimes you’ve got to fight off the immortal manifestation of Fate, as it tries to kill you for escaping your predestined death.

Thankfully this Prince isn’t at the mercy of this Final Destination-like scenario, he’s got some mean combat skills, along with duel weapon mastery to snuff the living (non-living?) daylights out of whatever nightmarish forces stand in his way. Oh, and the power to control time is fine too. And by fine I mean, amazingly cool.

Released today on the US PSN, and tomorrow on the EU Store, Ubisoft’s second game in the PlayStation 2 Prince of Persia trilogy, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within now features fully HD graphics and stereoscopic 3D capabilities, along with a full trophy list rounding out the new features.

PoP: Warrior Within is retailing at $14.99, and continues shortly after where PoP: Sands of Time left off, with the Prince desperately fleeing a relentless monster known as the Dahaka, who pursues any who have used the powers of time to make sure that they die. Battle your way through the Island of Time using acrobatic combos and time manipulation powers, while traversing between past and present realities in order to progress through the island. Rock out to Godsmack as you evade the Dahaka in an attempt to find a way to save yourself.

Will you help the Prince escape his desperate situation to find salvation? [SOURCE]

Update:  Amazon UK are also selling the Prince of Persia Trilogy for £17.99.

Original: As part of their Mega Monday sale, online retailing giant Play.com is currently retailing PoP trilogy for £17.99, for today onlyThe package includes all 3 adventures from the Sands of time series. If your wondering what the big deal was about the first game, this may be the package for you.

Although PoP the forgotten sands was a improvement from the first next gen POP game, the series has languished over the years. Lets hope Ubisoft fix this, as there is a lot of untapped potential.

Worth rewinding time for?



Once upon a time, Ubisoft released a game called Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and everybody loved it. Or at least, everyone who played it did, though that wasn't nearly as many people as Ubisoft would have liked, apparently. And so begins the story of the PS2-era Prince of Persia trilogy, now given a fresh lick of hi-def paint and a new, conveniently-downloadable form factor (unless you want to buy it on one of those old-fangled things from the shops).

Yes, Prince of Persia Trilogy: HD Collection has finally reached Europe, where it languishes seductively on store shelves and the PlayStation Network. And what do we make of this most recent 'remastering'? Well, it's something of a mixed bag, truth be told, with lacklustre presentation the biggest bugbear in this otherwise generous package.

Things don't start off too promisingly, with Sands of Time - the first and most beloved entry in the series - bursting forth onto the screen in a mix of razor-sharp upscaled polygons and a smeary mess of lo-res interface elements. Sure, it's easy to bemoan what's clearly a budget release on Ubisoft's part, but it's hard not to be slightly disappointed when even the game's title screen logo is a barely comprehensible smudge of pixels closely resembling something Pac-Man might puke up after a night on the tiles.

In a stealth announcement, Ubisoft’s revealed that The Prince of Perisa Trilogy, previously announced as a Blu-ray offering in Europe, is destined for a North American PSN release.

In fact, Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, the first installment, hits the service today. Not a mere port, it has been given a complete overhaul in the visual department, boasting sharp 720p renders with added 3D effects for those with a capable television.

Prince of Persia Warrior Within and Prince of Persia The Two Thrones, the remaining chapters to this time-rewinding trilogy, are scheduled to drop in a similarly staggered fashion “sometime in December.” Each title will carry a price point of $14.99, featuring the same enhancements as in Sands of Time.
