Here's the launch trailer for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. It's essentially a primer for anyone who has somehow missed the copious coverage of the game so far. Let's run down the bullet points, shall we?

Where is the Red Dead review?

I think they mentioned on the podcast that they don't get Rockstar games before release because of a dispute.

Jeez, I hope he doesn't actually have too much dialogue in-game.

Holy cheesy voice acting Batman.

Doesn't the voice of the person saying Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands at the end sound like David Hayter or from the Metal Gear franchise?

Weird how this game is out tomorrow but there's not even a single review for it yet...

It's because Split/Second and RDR also come out tomorrow and I guess there's more hype and attention surrounding those.

Yeah, that embargo scares me. Makes me think of how the ______ Movies (Date, Epic, Disaster, etc) never have reviews until after they come out. I'm really hoping this will be good though. Just don't know how I could justify getting it over Red Dead Redemption.

The same happened with Web of Shadows as well, which I bought on release day, unfortunately. They might not have given out any copies for review in fear of non-stellar reviews and in hopes that people will buy it based on popularity alone.

This trailer looks like it was made on the Wii...everything looks a step down from the last game...

I don't like either of the voice actors.

Looks fun, but not $60 fun. Among so many stellar games I have yet to play, this might be a purchase a few months from now.

Wow, that is some horrible voice acting right there!
I'd have the "evil" guy doing video game reviews and the price's voice taking up orders in McDonald's. Certainly not game material.

Buy Prince of Persia Fallen King for USD 10 now and wait for this to drop to a budget price ;) That´s how I´ll do it (o: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-buyj-71-cl-77-6-49-en-15-prince+of+persia-84-j-70-363j.html
