Serving the douche: When usability trumps character



Despite what this article might suggest, I really enjoyed Prince of Persia (2008). Admittedly, it was more flash than substance and could charitably be described as an extremely automated game, but giving yourself over to the rhythmic button presses and silky smooth animation was a worthwhile effort. I like to call these types of games "relax em' ups" as the gameplay is mellow enough to get you into a relaxing groove.

And for my older followers, everything I wrote in this piece contradicts all the nice things I said about Elika before. Opinions, man! What's the deal with them?
