Here's a set from the best game no one played. Apologies re: JPEG compression. Remember to view them normal size for maximum bestness, not resized in browser.
And it still looks better than many modern games, just because the art style worked so well.
played it and loved it, both on xbox and pc!

One of the best titles released in the past 10 years, and with no multiplayer even.
The proper way to play it is on a PC with a gamepad of some sort. I use a LogiTech dual action, which I bought just for the PoP series. With this combo, I get high-res graphics with AA/AF and surround sound, but am still able to use the superior gamepad controls (3rd person platformers just aren't the best with mouse/keyboard).

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Good game but I'm sure plenty of people played it since it spawned two sequels! Sands of Time is one of those games were the bloom effects helped the visuals since it gave the persian environments such a warm look.
Actually, no. The first sequel was such a piece of Garbage precisely because the first didn't sell *fast enough*. It sold well eventually, just not huge numbers out of the gate. If you want to know
why the first sequel was horrid, see here:
Penny Arcade
Prince of Persia 2 is a good game in spite of the fact that the developer tried to ruin it. It's like they did their best to burn the entire thing to the ground, but enough of the foundation remains that it's still recognizable. What that means is that the fundamentals of the first game are so good they can withstand being covered in layers of disgusting music, hack writing and monotonous combat.
So, UbiSoft went and teenaged it. The Prince became some generic dark anti-hero guy, Godsmack did the soundtrack (I'm not kidding)...it was horrible.
Luckily, Yannis Mallet and the team that did Sands of Time were brought back to produce the third game in the series, Two Thrones, and did a (mostly) wonderful job with it. There were a couple sections of pure frustration, but the bulk of the game was a return to form.
