Description
Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!
For the next entry in my top 100 list, I'm heading back to 2003 to revisit this amazing entry in a legendary franchise. The Sands of Time has left a lasting impact to this day, from the flowing combat style that we have seen in games like the Batman Arkham series, to high wire acrobats and stunts like in the Uncharted series, and of course, Assassin's Creed - they all owe a debt to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Sadly, the remake of this game was recently cancelled, and to make things worse, the original 2003 game is no longer easily accessible on modern platforms (here's hoping Ubisoft will eventually put out a modern day remaster collection at least!). Despite all of that though, this game still burn in my memory as a peak gaming experience. Tune in to hear what gave this entry of the storied franchise the right elements to have such a lasting impact.
