Prince of Perisa and Synergy

Now a lot of you will down the multiplex trying to catch the latest rom-com The Killer Inside Me. You might therefore notice that a Prince of Persia film is out at the moment.

Here's the trailer.

The film is based on the Prince of Persia games series from Ubisoft. What's interesting (for nerds and Media students) is that the game is based on the reboot of series Prince of Persia: Sands of Time which came out in 2003 which starred a dashing, wise cracking Arabian adventurer. After that the series went very dark with the Prince developing a strange Arabian Emo look and was rebooted again (again!) in 2008.

So rather than create a sequel to the 2008 game Ubisoft have released a sequel to their 2003 game - the Sands of Time, with similar gameplay and the same dashing, wise cracking Arabian adventurer you'll seen in the film.

Here's the game...
