(55% off) at Amazon Deal Factor 5.2 (details) Deal Factor for "Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (PSP)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).

The Prince has the ability to rewind time from the very beginning of the game and throughout the game he learns new powers. The biggest new feature is the addition of elemental powers, which bring a new dimension to the core gameplay, because of the way these powers interact with each other and the Prince's other abilities.

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Pocket Gamer 4.0 Galaxy Fight (PSP)

This competent but dated fighter is teeth-grindingly difficult in single-player mode, undercutting any desire to improve your skills as it tears into you round after round

Monday, January 30, 2012

Pocket Gamer 5.0 Stick Man Rescue (PSP)

A dark sense of humour and an interesting time management system aside, Stick Man Rescue isn't really worth your time, even if it will only take 90 minutes to finish

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

GameSpot 5.5 I Heart Geeks! (DS)

I Heart Geeks lets you make some incredible machines, but a lack of creativity dampens the satisfaction.

Pocket Gamer 5.0 Tiny Hawk (PSP)

There's simply not enough content in Tiny Hawk to warrant a purchase at its launch price, though the core concept itself isn't without merit.

Friday, January 06, 2012

GameSpot 5.5 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance (DS)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance is a competent though flawed handheld shooter.

Thursday, January 05, 2012

IGN 5.0 3 Heroes -- Crystal Soul (DS)

So a swordsman, a mage and a ranger walk into a bar . . .

Wednesday, January 04, 2012

Pocket Gamer 6.0 I Heart Geeks! (DS)

Infantile visuals and a few issues where the game mishandles information masks an otherwise decent brainteaser collection for grown-ups

Tuesday, January 03, 2012

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Orbit (PSP)

An unambitious but very well-made one-button flight-based puzzler, Orbit is simple to play while remaining addictive and perfectly pitched in terms of difficulty and length

Monday, January 02, 2012

IGN 6.0 Slingo Supreme (DS)

Slots + Bingo + Lots of Extra Toppings.

IGN 4.0 Cake Ninja (DS)

Cakes made his ninja wife get fat. Now he'll have his revenge!

Thursday, December 29, 2011

Pocket Gamer 6.0 Corpse Party (PSP)

When you're following the narrow path the designers expect you to walk down, Corpse Party is one of the scariest portable games you can buy. Yet, failure to do so demands you re-play massive chunks of content you've already seen, significantly diminishing its appeal.
