Prince of Persia Classic assaultin' PSN on Oct. 23

Wow. A sultan? That's pretty dire.*

What the headline so clumsily tries to convey is that Ubisoft's snazzy, non-rotoscoped remake of 1989's Prince of Persia will finally arrive on the PlayStation Network this Thursday, October 23rd. Sporting modernized 3D graphics, new traps and the same perfectly-postured-princess-in-peril plot we've grown to love, Prince of Persia Classic is sure to awaken nostalgia while preparing you for the royal acrobat's next adventure -- unimaginatively dubbed Prince of Persia. With any luck, we'll be appending "classic" to it as well when it releases on December 2nd.

Prince of Persia Classic (XBLA)

* And Farah-fetched. Still, much better than the original headline that Vizier a second ago.

THIS GAME IS OFFENSIVE TO MY PEOPLE!

I demand it get's pushed back a week.

My people! What do you mean "MY PEOPLE?"

Well, it's a very specific part of Islam that you're not supposed to mix the verses of the Qu'ran with song - Just like how Jews don't say the name of God except on specific ceremonies.

It's not that the song in LBP 'might cause offense', it's that it does something which is actually forbidden.

My people! What do you mean "MY PEOPLE?"

'Huh!?'

: )

Silly religious people with silly rules.
So silly.

@ Lario

Awesome reference is awesome.

Silly rules perhaps, but it'd be like forcing a Jewish person to eat a bacon sandwich before they're allowed to play LBP.

So still offensive.

"Silly religious people with silly rules.
So silly."

Because the rules of society you live by are any better. Everyone lives by rules, most just don't believe it.

Man, I really do want this game, buy I have so many other games that I will be playing. Im almost done with DeadSpace(One of my most favorite games of the year) They did a beautiful job designing the game.
