Since we know that Time is not like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, you'll no doubt appreciate this reminder (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/06/this-wednesday-prince-of-persia-pops-onto-xbla/) that Prince of Persia Classic -- the re-imagining of the platforming classic -- is hitting Xbox Live Arcade this week as evidenced by this handy media alert (http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2007/06/11/551123.aspx). While Ubisoft's earlier confirmation didn't mention how many Billy Bucks the Prince would demand, Microsoft had no such compunction clearly stating the title will cost a not unsuspected 800 MS Points ($10 (http://www.mspconverter.com/results.php?MSP=800&conversion=Convert)). Oh, and the hardest achievement? Finishing the game without dying. If you've played Prince of Persia, you oughta know better than to even try. If you haven't, let me tell you a tale like none you have ever heard ...

If I had a 360, I would work my ass off for the 'no death' achievement so that you would all be forced to bow to me. ..... but I don't, so stay up.

Wow! That looks damn good!

Do the animations look as fluid as they did, in the original?

Prince of Persia is out today, and I have to say it looks and plays great. Anyone that is a fan of the series or just the original, don't miss out on this one.
