I hope the new Prince of Persia is good.  I've loved PoP since the early CGA days, and the Sands of Time Trilogy was my favorite.  I knew it was time for Sands of Time to be put to bed and let something new in, but I wasn't overly thrilled with the direction they took PoP7.  Until I played it.  I never liked it as much as SoT, but I still thought it was pretty good.  When they announced that PoP8 was going back to SoT, I was actually disappointed they weren't following up with a true sequel to PoP7.

I played the God of War III demo on the District 9 BD.  It was all right.  Too gory for me, I'm afraid.  As a non-PS gamer for so long, I was afraid I was missing out on the God of War games.  Turns out the clones and copycats have had me occupied just fine.

I'm playing Uncharted as I mentioned above.  I like the game except for the combat.  It occured to me while playing- I shouldn't have to cringe everytime the room fills with thugs, but I do...  But it seems very repetitive and boring.  The exploring and the story are fun though...  Can't wait to see how they've fixed this in UC2.

We have a lot in common....

My POP story is the same, though the new one was a little simple in comparison I still enjoyed it and wonder if they are abondoning the story altogether or just taking a side-step to help promote the movie...we will see.  I think if they added a little more to the sequels the new incarnation could be really great.  Warrior Within was my least favorite of the old series but those chase sequences with the dark creature after you were thrilling...I keep hoping they will put them all on one ps3 disc in 1080p though I know the series doesnt have the following that GoW does

Uncharted 2 gave you more options with stealth so you didnt have to just blaze away as much but it did have its share of shoot outs.  I found that if you looked around there was always some way to clear out a bunch of thugs.  Ive never played shooters in the past (except for goldeneye) so I was in the same boat as you with hating the endless shoot outs but by the end of the game I started to enjoy it.
