Prince of Persia


This isn't Altair from Assassin's Creed, it's only the special skin for the main character.
Some years ago I've played "Prince of Persia", the apocryphal chapter of the "normal" timeline of the Prince and occasionally I played it for fun (like today).
Obviously finished long time ago.

I was in love with the Princess, but this doesn't interfere with my judgement. :-D
Maybe.
I love the graphic style and the design of characters and levels.
I love the exchange of words between the two characters, which gives them a good personality (and their arguments and jokes are funny).
I love the stunts to be performed during the game.
The story isn't bad, but there are some bad points:
  •  there is no gameover...
  •  what you should do
When you fall down or when you died in another way the Princess helps you and puts you in the position like before you died.
It's a problem? For me not much, it's like a checkpoint, maybe is used too often...

What you should do? In the beginning of the game you know what you should do. You know everything.
You don't know some details, but you know WHAT you should do in the "infected lands" and where/what they are. Too obvious, it's like a routine task,  your mind thinks "booooring!". 
The only curiosity are: bosses, how levels are... but the actions are still known.

In conclusion a good game, maybe too repetitive, nice the two endings, both leave a bitter taste (ops, spoiler :-P, but the game is old).

There is a DLC for Xbox360.

Indiana Jones: concept art and more

I really love the old trilogy of Indiana Jones, so there are some concept art drawings of the first movie:





These drawings are sketched by Jim Steranko: http://www.thedrawingsofsteranko.com/raiders.html

I found an interesting website about a game developed with AGS (only Windows):
