Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Review

Before I start, I would like to give thanks to the game designers for not splashing a dull grey palette over the environment in "Two Thrones". And more importantly, I would like to thank the writers for pulling the Prince from his angsty, manic depressive personality in "Warrior Within" and restoring the lovably sarcastic one from "Sands of Time".

In all honesty, "Warrior Within" had doused all the enthusiasm I had for the series. So when I started up "The Two Thrones", I was more than a little apprehensive. Would I dislike this installment as well, and be forced to complete it for completion's sake? Let me just sum up my experience with "The Two Thrones" with this: when I reached the ending, I was angry at myself for not playing it sooner.

TES IV: Shivering Isles

Oh man, I almost let my laziness beat me again. It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, and it's not like I haven't done anything to blog about. So, let's get on with it.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is a game that I've played over and over. Even when I've resolved to replay Fallout 3/NV a second time, I find myself staring at the Oblivion menu, the familiar music playing as though to welcome me back. That is what happened again recently. But there is something different about this playthrough. I have finally, finally installed the Shivering Isles. It's the DLC I've been wanting to play since forever, so the moment it was installed, I plunged myself into the game, eager to experience Sheogorath's madness.
